liev. Roger Mason conducted the
ice Sunday morning. Rev. Mason
spoke from Colossians 1:1, stressing
the word apostle. As apostle was one
ttptructed under Jesus; and given the
Commission to go preach the word.
But others in the New Testament
were called.apostles. There are men
today filling the apostolic calling.
Because the word apostle means
sent one, each Christian can be an
apostle preaching Gbd's word. An
apostle is a delegate designated to
represent the Lord.•His actions ,and
words should represent the Lord who
sent him, not his own personal ambi-
tions and thoughts.
An apostle is an ambassador who is
a person sent from one country to
another to represent his own country
there. An ambassador presents his
country's viewpoint, trying to pro
mote friendliness. Also the am-
bassador is who someone contacts
when he wants to go to his country.
Christians are Christ's ambassadors
for people to contact when they want
to know how to get to heaven.
In Ephesians 6:20 Paul said he was
an ambassador in chains because he.
stood for what was good, opposing
evil. Christians, as Christ's am-
bassadors are to stand for and com-
municate God's word. Why do
believers act afraid to voice God's
viewpoint they believe in?
Sunday evening Rev. Roger Mason
led the song service. Rev. Mason
ministered from Mark 1:1-8, the
ministry of John the baptist. John in-
troduced people to'Jesus, as Chris-
tians are supposed to do. John preced-
ed Jesus, and prepared the way for
Jesus, as Saviour and King.
John the baptist had a lonely
ministry, preaching in the wilderness,
where he lived a spartan life. The
wilderness was where people could
draw close to God!
John had a very humble ministry.
He wore camel's hair clothing, and
ate poor man's food of locusts and
wild honey. His words were very
strong. Neither his looks nor his
words were to impress. Yet Jesus
called John the greatest of the
prophets.

Nymn Sing at YC
An enjoyable hymn sing, led by
Rev. Jewell Shank preceded the ser-
vice at Lucan United Church, Sunday.
Men from the Monday night Bible
Study Group were invited to come for-
ward to lead the congregation in the
singing of the very powerful "Our God
Reigns".
Bill and Judy Darling and sons
Kevin and Kyle formed the welcom-
ing committee and assisted with the
offering. Their daughter Holly read
the scripture for the service.
Mrs. Shaule brought the children
together at the front to sing an action
song "God Loves You and I Love
You". The children as a group, then
turned and sang, ministering to the
congregation, this song. How we love
to hear the boys and girls sing in the
service.
Rev. Darrell Shaule broached the
topic of God's power in the world. We
identify with the questions of "If God
is all - powerful, why are there ac-
cidents, disease, untimely death?
Does God will such things to teach us,
to punish us, to work a greater good?"
Many have grown bitter against
God when they have faced tragedy
and suffering. God gets the blame.
Yet why would a God who is all
powerful and all wise and all loving
toward us want to hurt us and use His
power against us? The answer is; He
doesn't! We've been pointing the
blame in the wrong direction.
God does'not wish to harm us but
the evil one does. God stands by
waiting for us to avail ourselves of His
Presence and Power, that He might
be a "very present help in time of
trouble".
One day He will return to earth to
totally obliterate the evil one and his
work. Meanwhile we can trust an
Almighty God to not forsake us but
answer our pleas for help, healing,
forgiveness and power to go through
the evil that besets us with victory
and peace.

Elect new slate
of officers for
Women's Ministry
The Women's Ministries held their
monthly meeting Wednesday even-
ing, in Graham Chapel. President
Mrs. Marlene Thornton taught a new
chorus Beautiful, while Mrs. Lorraine
Armitage played the piano. After the
business session Mrs. Thornton led in
churns singing, and in prayer for
needs of others.
Rev. Roger Mason, from the book
What You Can Say, spoke on how to
talk to people suffering grief or loss.
Having a handicapped child, losing a
loved one, a pet, or a divorce, can
bring great trauma to a person. Ig-
noring them is not the Christian way.
Instead visit them, and let them talk
about the Toss.
The grieving person needs to know
you care by your showing compas-
sion. Let them express their pain
without cutting them down.
Do not try to give a reason for what
happened. Acknowledge their loss
while giving them your love and sym-
pathy. Assure them you are praying
for them. Offer to do practical help for
then .
Remember there will come a great
sense of loneliness and depression
when they need friendship and
understanding. Do no hurry them
through this time. Guide them to see
there is a reason for living.
Rev. Mason conducted the election
of officers for the next two years.
Elected by acclamation was presi-
dent Mrs. Marlene Thornton. Vice
president is Mrs. June Henry.
Secretary treasurer is Mrs. Terry
Ifefferman and board members are
Mrs. Shirley Mason, and Mrs. Lynda
Ropchan.
