Robert Matheson was in charge of the First Sunday After Christmas church service, Sunday morning. Rev. Matheson told the children's story entitled "One Candle To Light". The choir sang "Hymn of the New Year" accompanied by the organist Miss Agnes Bray. The sermon was entitled "The Shadow Which Casts Light".'• When people hear of the mighty acts of God we are often compelled to confess our sins" because we know nothing we will ever accomplish can possibly measure up to the ac- complishments of God. Isaiah 63:7-9 challenges us to look at ourselves in the.mirror. The shadow of darkness cast in this world are the makings of human hands! The Shadow of God - God's Son - came into the world to dwell among us but he also comes to do far more than that. He comes to participate in the human environment. He comes to share our life and His life with us. Jesus comes to this world to be in solidarity with us. He comes t4 live in the world of shadows which have been created by human beings. lie comes to bring light into this world of darkness. He goes so far as to allow himself to be victimized by the shadows of this world through his suffering and death. Next Sunday, January 4 Sunday School will start at 10 a.m. and church at 11:15 a.m. Church will be downstairs for the next three months.

FINANCIAL CENTRE, GODERICH 524.2773 1-; • .� We're glad you asked With Iry Armstrong and Bob Fletcher of Ye•eicey, ,At WHAT DO I YELL MY CHILD WHEN SOAEEQYE DIES? If news of a death seems to overwhelm you personalty, "lean" on another supportive adult first. Then, approach your child. Get him in close physical contact and shore your love, your sadness, and the news. You might say something like this: "Billy, I feel sod about something that has happened. Your cousin Fred died. That means he's gone and you won't see him again. No one will see him again." By expressing your feelings calmly and giving calm support to his ex- pression of feelings, you show him that he can deal with these feel- ings in himself. Don't be upset at his expression of sadness. Children will often turn off their feelings rather than upset their parents. The foct is that children prow as a result of experiencing "difficult" feelings with their parents' support. But in dealing with such feelings, be sure your support and love are clearly expressed. egi ONTARIO FUNERAL SERVICE ASSOCIATION snoav rsiod IRV ARMSTRONG lis FI ,erd Now in E:ef, who is o r wnsb•l, of IM Ontario Flowrd Service Association 8; ~elt,4940619, FUNERAL NOME MosOE 236 itao yid BOB FLETCHER'
