Times-Advocate, 1986-10-01, Page 18pogo 2A October 1, 1986 By MRS. E. SUMMERS At Granton United Church Rev. Bruce Pierce was in charge of the morning worship and entitled his message "Overcoming through forgiveness". We are very important in the eyes of God. We never quite make our goals and we are ashamed of ourselves, yet we can approach God with anything, said Rev. Pierce. Do we have peace in our hearts and do we have faith in personal forgiveness? In the children's story, the minister explained to them that they had a friend in Jesus, who loved them very much. The service at St. Thomas Anglican Church was withdrawn, as Saintsbury Anglican Church was celebrating their fall anniversary. Personals Mr. and Mrs. Kenneth Hodgins, Mr. and Mrs. Jeff Bryan, Mrs, Florence Bryan, all of Granton and Mrs. Alice Bryan of London were guests at the fortieth wedding anniversary of Mr. and Mrs. Bruce Grant of Dundas, held at St. James United Church, Water - down. Mr. and Mrs. Bruce Grant and family were former residents of Granton. Difference for senior citizens The last meeting of the month for the Lucan Seniors started off with a little different angle. It was to try out different games other than euchre and it seemed to go over quite well as there were three tables of crokinole, three of cribbage, one of bridge and some played shuffleboard. So there is fun for everyone if you come out to the meetings. Three visitors were welcomed by the president. Oney McFalls, Elizabeth Goddard and Elsie Gibson. Birthday wishes went to Gerry Zinn, Marjorie Steeper, Ed Dowdall, Charlotte Barker and Joe Whelihan. The United Church asked for the loan of our projector for October 15. The seniors met at the Legion Hall Wednesday for a social afternoon of cards. All enjoyed the afternoon. Win- ners were high score Laura Williams and Harry Noels, lone hands Mary Davis and Murray Carter, low score Lydia Regier and Ethel Langford. The Legion members were thank- ed by the president for a nice afternoon. .464 OPP MEET MEDIA - An informal annual meeting between the media and Ontario Provincial Police officials was held in London Friday.

T -A From United Church More and more people each Sunday are coming to hear and be blessed by new ministers, the Shaules, at Lucan United Church. Greeting the congregation Sunday morning were Gary and Anne Rev- ington. Mrs. Revington also gave the scripture reading, Mark 12:1-12 and John 3:16-21. The sermon was taken from Jeremiah 26 entitled "What are we bringing on ourselves". Jeremiah was given a message from God to all the people, a message of such impor- tance that not one word was to be left out or one syllable changed. If you do not listen to me and heed my advice then the consequences of your actions will be on your head. God is the only true judge and even though He is a God of love He will on- ly put up with our sins for so long and then an accounting must be made. We are reminded, all through scriptures of the prophets and followers of God, who when they decided to "do their own thing" were punished severely If He is no longer a loving and car ing God to you, then the fault is yours, the decision is always left with us. Flora Robertson was presented with a beautiful corsage in recogni- tion of her work on the piano and organ.

Tuesday at 10:45 p.m., vehicles driven by Elena Guglielmi, London and Jamie Langlois, Brampton collid- ed on Middlesex road 23. Constable Craig listed damages at $6,000. Vehicles driven by Carol Denotter, Ilderton and Gabriel Pinsonneault, Revival Centre news Rev. Roger Mason ministered from Psalm 55:12-21, concerning verbal wounds. Cutting words can be more harmful then sticks and stones. People can be spiritually, emo- tionally, and physically hurt by cut- ting words. Different kinds of treatments apply to different verbal wounds. When we think of cutting words we think of a knife. While not visible, the cut goes deep. This scrip- ture shows it was not an enemy that verbally wounded David. He would have expected that from an enemy, but not from a close friend. Cutting words come from people that are close to us, which is why they hurt so much. People can suffer for years from cutting words, while God wants to heal them. David was shocked by his friend hurting him. This refers to II Samuel 15:12 and 31. In Judges 11:1-7 we read of the eighth judge of Israel, Jephthah, born of a harlot, who was disinherited by his half brothers. The half brothers used cutting words to put him out of the house, and the father did not help him. Yet when they were attacked they sent for Jethphah to lead and help them. The hidden bitterness came out when Jethphah reminded them of their cutting words. Yet in Moses' life, after his brothers betrayed him there was no trace of bitterness. Moses forgave, Jethphah did not. Leaving wounds from cutting words to fester causes bitterness. To start to heal a knife wound, you app- ly pressure to stop the bleeding. To start to heal wounds from cutting words you apply pressure of love. Sunday evening Rev. Roger Mason spoke from II Samuel 16:5-8. This relative of Saul cursed bitter piercing words at king David as David fled Jerusalem when his son Absalom took the kingdom. In Psalm 64:1-5 David prays to be delivered from piercing words that are like an arrow or sword that pierces. Piercing words come from an enemy. Jesus had more than one enemy that tried to hurt him by piercing words. David also had many enemies who conspired against him that caus- ed him to pray for protection. Pierc- ing words bring fear. This enemy in- tended to intimidate David as he curs- ed him. Piercing words come from a tongue like a sword that cuts deep. They are bitter words that hurt like an arrow. The person who is the target of pier- cing words is innocent. The words are not true. These words come by sur- prise as they are not in honest con- frontation. Often it is in a cowardly, Bowling scores ►evil, sneaky ambush from one who is wishing to remain anonymous. In II Samuel 16:5-8 this Shimei, an enemy of David, intimidates with his pierc- ing hurting words to inspire fear. He spoke out of bitterness, and spoke falsely against David. His verbal at- tack was a surprise to David. To clean a deep puncture you en- courage bleeding to clean out the wound. Someone who has been hurt bey piercing words should express their pain to expose to God the hurt for healing. Just as soap and water cleanses the wound, so the word of God cleanses hurts from bitter words. Grand Point were in collision on Mid dlesex road 26 at 4:10 p.m., Wednes- day.
