Bible class There were 18 ladies who attended the Bible Study and coffee hour Tues- day morning at Sauble -Court. An opening prayer by Nita Sinclair was . followed by a hymn sing, led by Millie Desjardine. As they studied "David, His Psalrims," from 1 Samuel 16:14-23, they saw how God prepared David, even as a boy, to be King of Israel. They gained comfort from the realization that God is in control of our lives, as well. and is preparing us, even now. for the role that He would have us play., • Further study of this same theme is revealed in Psalm 23. which David wrote. They "enjoyed studying this beautifu} psalm; which reminds us -of -- God's care and bountiful provision, even in the Valley of the Shadow of Death. Gwen Campbell led the lesson and closed with prayer. All ladies are welcome to attend. Catholic news - The pastor. Rev.

Peebles and his wife have returned from their vacation down south, and their congregation was glad to welcome them back home. In Rev. Peebles' children's story, he told the tale of bridges, and how you can —lose -your• -tooling and fall from some -- flimsier kinds of bridges. Words are like bridges, they carry messages, . and prayer itself is a bridge to God. The choir sang a special number, "In Times Like These." Rev. Peebles' sermon was titled "Chaos or Christ".. Men have the knowledge and ability to live in peace and yet we have no peace. We attain the goal of peace through ('hrisl, yet there are about one billion Christians in the world. Can they really be following Christ's teaching? Circumstances haven't really changed since Cain murdered his brother Abel - murder, lust, greed and envy are all too apparent in to- day's world. Rev. Peebles also addressed a story to the school -aged kids, .about a teenaged girl who found $200 in a wallet. When she returned the money. she was criticized by her family and friends for not "looking out for number one," or "finders keepers". How difficult it is for young people in today's society to keep their moral standards. Remember to think con- structively, not destructively, don't despair. for God is still in control. Keep your head in times of distress, for mankind has always produced best while under pressure. Church of God .

Leyland and Eileen Desjar- dine sang a special solo. "I Shall Cling to the Old Rugged Cross". The ser- mon was on "Our Freedom in Christ," which comes through our relationship. with Him. The evening worship was led by Eileen Desjardine. Ivan Sharrow gave. a reading, "Because of Calvary". Pastor Desjardine's ser mon thoughts were taken from II Cor- inthians 12:1-10, "When God Says No".

Forest band, photographer combine to entertain crowd The auditorium of Grand Bend Public school was filled for the Grand Bend Concert Association's Bonus. Concert, Sound and Image '87.

She in- formed•them that at the last concert, in March, a reception would im- mediately follow, to meet the artists and discuss the season's offerings. Tickets will be available, on sale for . next season at the same price, $22 for adults, $50 for family, and $5 for students, for a subscription to six concerts. Dawn Crabe then introduced the Forest Excelsior Stage Band, under the direction of Marko Rnic. The 15 member band entered looking very natty in dark green jackets and ties; white shirts and grey slacks. The host for the band was Tom Hales, a very funny saxophone player; if he ever ruins his lip for brass, he can try for a radio DJ! Tom explained that the band's appearance was sponsored by "Marko's En- cyclopedia of Musical Terminology," and with that purchase, -you get ab- solutely free, a handy pocket Wender! Between the hilarious commentaries, the band got into some great music. They opened with "Beehive Jive" a very jazzy number, featuring the saxophone section, then into "Night Train," a great old piece of -nostalgia with that "Big Band Sound". "What Kind of Fool Am I?" featured tenor saxophone Martin Quennerville, and he wasn't fooling around - that was serious, beautiful music, a well or- chestrated, dreamy dance number. "Easy Swingin" was another Tommy Dorsey - Big Band type piece, this time featuring Tom Hales, who pro- ved he could really play (almost as well as he could crack jokes). "Tea for Two" set everyone's toes tapping and looking fora dance floor - "Got- ta Dance". The band performed a modern swing number by Glenn Fry, "The. One You Love," another easy, jazzy piece and very well done. "Dessa Finado" was a change of pace, a bossa nova dance step with a Latin American flavor, with solos on guitars, and Ken Kennedy on drums: A great beat! Tome Hales next in- troduced three numbers as a trip down memory lane, "Hey, I know that one!" The audience managed to identify each one. "I Believe In Yesterday," and "Am I Blue" featured Martin on his sax. "Hey Big Spender" is a very sexy piece of music, Gypsy Rose Lee probably lov- ed to dance to it, and the trumpet sec- tion really let go. Wow. (One of the prizes won for correct- ly indentifying a number, was a trip to beautiful downtown Ravenswood!) The next set showpieced that funky gospel music "Mercy, Mercy, Mer- cy" and "Gospel John" with lots of percussion and guitar and a great rhythm. "Lordie and Amen" and "Bless My Soul" can that band play! They closed with that great strutting showpiece "New York, New York"! The audience applauded so en- thusiastically that they came back for an encore, "Walking Papers"! Nothing gets into the soul like the sound of a great brass band! Members of the Forest Excelsior Stage Band are : trumpet section - Cindy Chamberlain, Jason Dodge and Larry Butt; trombones: Norm Mumberson, Paul Jones and Robert Marsh; saxophones: Syd Fletcher, Tom Hale, Celia Gilfoyle, Martin Quenneville and Marko Rnic; guitars: Don Pearson, Barry Prudholme and John Munroe: -- Keyboard and piano: Dave Williams and Ken Kennedy on percussion. Quite a band!

Local lads compete in Exeter Kub Kar races popular It has been a busy week for the Grand Bend Cub pack.

March came in like a lamb, rather than a lion, albeit a wet, grey lamb, which augurs for a more dramatic ex- it into April. Only time will tell. There is very little snow left, and spring seems to be around the corner - we week already! Congratulations to Mrs. Bill (Anne) Richardson of Southcott Pines, on her "pin -pal" win on Bowling for Dollars on Channel 13, Saturday evening, February 21. She got to split about $2,000 with her TV pin -pal. Thursday afternoon visitors with Minnie Curts were Manuel and Evelyn Curts of Greenway, and An- nie Morenz of Shipka. A recent weekend visitor with Lorne and Loreen Devine was her sister, Mrs. Vera Lotta of Point Clark. music of the St. Mary's Children's Choir, who performed here in the Bend last December. "The Tree Song" was appropriate for a lovely study of trees, in all four seasons of the year, large trees and small, sheltering birds, animals and people from dense evergreen stands to flam- ed colored maples, to stately lone pines on the stark sand dunes. "All Things Bright and Beautiful" was the second song, its words presenting golden opportunities to unveil the breathtaking beauty and wonder of God's creation. Newly hat- ched birds; bright mushrooms; soft eyed fawns; molten sunsets; fun fill- ed families; lonely, quiet forest trails; nosy raccoons; a fuzzy coyote pup. are all captured on film in crystalline clarity. Following his outstanding photography, Terry Crabe presented some slides to illustrate an overview of the Pinery Perk, which is the largest remaining forest in Southwestern Ontario. It contains over 1000 campsites, about 700 deer and about 60,000 chipmunks. The Pinery remains one of Southwestern Ontario's largest tourist attractions, and a source of tourist dollars. - Terry closed with a profile of the Carna Blue Butterfly, which is a dwindling species in the Pinery. This butterfly only lays it eggs on wild blue lupin, which is also disappearing. Changing the makeup of the forest can have disastrous side effects on some species. For this purpose, the Pinery will be. instituting the controlled burn of some 100 acres this year, to stimulate the return of some plants and insects cur- rently endangered. Ttie audience rewarded his work with. great ap- plause. This was a wonderful contrast for a concert, of band music. choir and photography, making Sound and Image '87 the very best yet!
