A beauti d crisp day bright with morning sun- shine as the worshippers gathered for the third Sunday of advent at Lucan United Church. Everything old Is new again - all the old carols - how fresh and new they sounded again this year - how mean- ingful and pure, a new life, a new beginning - my lips shall greatly re- joice when I sing unto Thee and my soul which Thou hast redeemed. After the hymns Rev. Jewell Shaule showed the connection between the virgin birth and the death on the cross. Jesus was born to die from the very beginning for our sins. Without Christmas, Easter would •not be possible. Lighting the third candle for advent is our deciding can- dle. Happiness comes when we decide in His favor. Wes Stanley's Sunday School class sang an anthem entitled "Special Delivery". leatYC Next Sunday December .31 come and sing carob at 10:48 a.m. and in the eveoing at 7 p.m. A stable service at the Leroy Maguire farm. The sermon - King Herod - the real scrooge. Charles Dickens told us about Scrooge - someone who hated Christmas. Herod had heard about the birth of a King and he was afraid of this baby. He waited and planned to destroy this King bu't God's plans are never hindered. As you read the story from Mat- thew the second chapter you can see those who came to adore and worship Him and those who meant mischief. How God intervened and spoke to the astrologers and wise men, saving them as well from Herod wrath. Christmas is a time for decision mak- ing more significant a time than New Years. We can' change the way we live cease being indifferent to God and become as the Magi -worshipers. ,,+ 4 At Revival Centre Tom Abbott led the worship service Sunday morning. Mrs. Lorraine Ar- mitage played the piano, accom- panied by Mr. Evert Gagnbn playing his trumpet. Rev. Roger Mason ministered from Matthew 1:21-23. Rev. Mason asked how parents would feel if asked to give up their only son to a land of poverty to be raised there by a fami- ly and die there. Even though they knew it was to bring good, it would still be heart rending. Yet God did just that when He sent Jesus to earth. Why did God do it? First so He could be with man as verse 23 says. Jesus was God with us. God wanted us to understand Him. God, as a man, could live with His people and know them in fellowship DR. WILLIAM THORPE will be taking over the practice of DR. WILLIAM SCRIMGEOUR 268 Main St Parkhill Jan. 2, 1987 PH: 294-6881 with them. John 1:1 and 14 tells us this. People could listen to God's Son Jesus, and learn what God was like. The gospels tell us about God. God sent Jesus so man could talk to God and God with man, thus learning what God is like. We can learn about God's motives, and His love for us. God demonstrated His love toward us that when we were sinners, God sent His Son to die for us. Rev. Roger Mason Sunday even- ing spoke from Mark 1:16-20. This scripture tells of God's cal: to four fishermen to follow Jesus. Christ's call was extended to men who were busy. These men were busy about their fishing work when Jesus called them to be followers of His. Jesus call- ed them because He wanted faithful workers to follow Him. Jew: wants active workers to do His work as His calling means hard work. Christians who are not busy are actually tearing down God's work. Jesus was a very busy person while on earth. Mark por- trays Jesus as the perfect servant of God. Christ's call involved to'al commit- ment. These fishermen were disciples of John the Baptist. John had pointed out that Jesus .was the Lamb of God. .les em to leave all and followInt d learn from Rim. Jesus calls each person to follow Him and live for Him to gain eternal life. These fishermen immediately left their fishing life and followed Jesus. To become Christians we must be willing to leave all our desires and follow Jesus. Merry Christmas to our friends, neighbours and customer. .. s wa-s evro lea rwafva +rnwswa+rhvavaaraarn isorom .
