Good luck in future games. The members of the student coun- cil are presently involved in prepar- ing Hallowe'en activities for October 31. by. Jesus is the Light of the World. If we want to be a light to shine for Him we must be "plugged in" to God, who is our greatest source of power,' in every sense. Don't wait until we are "burnt-out" but go to God for recharging. Then our little light will shine brightest and our hearts will be overflowing with love for each other. There will be a Hallelujah party Friday October 31 from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m. in the Lower Hall - children are to dress up as Biblical characters. Come enjoy games, videos, munchies and fun. All children of the United CHurch are invited. The sermon - Responsibility of our unknown self, God, who made us in His own image, gave us three distinct parts, body, soul and spirit. The body we understand as being distinctly our own, no one else is made ' quite like us, we are uniquely ourselves. The soul, is who we -really are, our intellect, our powers to reason, our decision making factors, even the way we look; a study in casualness, very professional, or "avant guard". This is for us to decide. The spirit is something entirely dif- ferent than the soul. The spirit, created by God in His image was given to man at his creation, so that man could live forever - as God does and have communion with Him always. If we are living without that spirit we are missing the best that life has to offer. The spirit connects us with our Maker - we can reflect His Person - we can be an extension of Himself. We touch God He touches us - our responsibility is keep those channels open. After we have left his earth the time is gone when we can connect ourselves to His Spirit. Our eternal life depends entirely on what deci- sions we make today.

Making the presentation are Rev. Owen Underwood at the left and district secretary Rev. Wallace Howlett at the right. Women's Ministries meet at local Revival Centre Wednesday evening the Women's Ministries held their monthly meeting. President Mrs. Marlene Thornton opened the meeting reading a poem the Master's Plan. Mrs. Judi Ross led in singing choruses, starting with teaching It is Good to Give Thanks for the Lord. Mrs. Thornton introduced guest speaker, , Mrs. Jewel Shaule. Mrs. Shaule read Luke 10:38-42. In this scripture Jesus gently told Martha she was burdened with too much ser- ving, while Mary had chosen to listen to Him. While preparing the meal was necessary, worshipping Jesus was more important. While women are called to serve, the first love for Jesus must take priority. It is easy to get into a serv- ing syndrome, then find fault with those who do not serve. Mrs. Shaule told how she gave her time serving others. While going on a Crossroads tour to Africa, She found three of the Americans were of the Black Panther group. She experienced hatred from them just because she was white. Through this she was welcomed into an African home where the people were Christians. Mrs. Shaule believes God allowed this experience to happen for her to be shaped in His image. When she returned from West Africa, Mrs. Shaule felt quite disillu- sioned about her life.Graduating from university, her promised new job kept fading away. During this waiting time God ministered His perspective to , her. She found to becalled aChristian she should be studying all she could about Christ. Like Mary she realized she had to sit'down and drink in all Jesus said. Going through very despondent times after her son was born, Mrs. Shaule read John 15:1-12. This en- couraged her to realize God still lov- ed her. Finding she had leukemia, she was encouraged from the scriptures that God is her strength. Mrs. Shaule - has discovered not to be concerned like Martha about serving, but to serve Jesus Mary. Sundaylike Service Rev. Roger Mason Sunday morning ministered from Isaiah 1:10-17, con- cerning prayer. Our prayer can be sabatoged by the enemy. If your prayer life is not consistent, your Christian life will not be effective. The church of Jesus Christ is suffering from this problem. Going through religious motions without devotion to God, but as a religious duty, is offensive disobe- dience to God. This does not refer to only a church, but to private Christian life that does not have an open com- munication with God. Even though one follows all the religious ritual, without removing of wrong and disobedience in true repentence, God will not hear our prayers as verse 15 says. In James 5:16 we read the fer- vant prayer of a righteous man avails much. Sunday evening Rev. Roger Mason spoke from Mark 11:22-24, where Jesus stressed to have faith in God for our prayers to be answered. Also we must pray out of a clean forgiving heart. Psalm 66:18 shows God will not hear our prayers when we have an impur heart. Confessing the wrong to God will clear up this unconfeszed sin. Ra- tionizing and denial will not take away the sin, but (seep one's prayers from being answered. It takes courage to confess one is wrong, and to tell God that one has sinned. Upcoming Events Sunday, December 7 at 7 p.m., the Christmas program will be presented. November 14-15 -- Marriage Enrichment Seminar Applications are available at Lucan Revival Cen- tre.
