Photo by Gary Wilcox Observe World DavfPra er o v The Centennial World Day of Prayer was held in Lucan United Church Friday evening. The theme: -Come and Rejoice". World Day of Prayer is a prayer movement of global dimensions `which has become the precious heritage of countless Christians in more than 170 countries and regions! Each year on the first Friday of March. Christians of all major denominations are linked around the •orld in a common service of prayer. This world prayer movement is uni- que, in that its expression is found in , local communities, and its leadership from the beginning in 1887 has been by lay women. Through World Day of Prayer people affirm. by. their faith in .lesus Christ, that prayer and ac- tion are inseparable and that both have an important influence on the world. They are enriched by -the faith experiences of Christians of various races. cultures and traditions. They take up the burdens of other people through prayer and service.

Roger Mason ministered from Mark 3:11-12,20-27. and 31-35. Three different groups said different things about Jesus that could have been very discouraging. The first -thing the JeVilwill do to -try to discourage a believer is to discredit him. The demons in verse 11 cried out saying Jesus was the Son of God. Demons would cry out as Jesus was teaching identifying Him as the Son of God, interrupting His work.. Jesus always silenced them. as Jesus wanted to reveal His identity by His teachings. 'Because the religious leaders did not believe in Jesus. the demons identifying Jesus would discredit Him in their eyes. Discouragement can also come from misunderstanding by one's own family or friends. In verses 20 and 21 Jesus' family heard Ile was so busy He had no time to eat -properly. They decided to• take • custody of Jesus because they felt Ile had lost His senses. Jesus' own • family misunderstood Jesus' zealous ministry. When those who are close to a believer express concern he is not - doing the right thing. it can be discouraging. This hurts, as they have no confidence, even though they lov- ed Him. In times like these, a believer checks his priorities with God for assurance. In verses 22 to :3o we find Jesus in controversy with scribes and pharisees, . religious leaders, from accusation and theory was Jesus did miracles by the prince of demons. Jesus defended Himself by showing the foolishness of satan casting out satan. Their accusation could have caused Jesus to become discouraged. Rev. Roger Mason. conducted the Sunday evening service. Miss Karen Mason, a member of Youth With a Mission, for the past year, told of her experiences. Miss Mason was in a three month intensive Bible disciple training course in Vancouver. Y.W.A.

There they helped bag beans and rice to helpfeed the native Indian people. On return to Vancouver, Miss Mason became a group leader. Her group went to Belise, a little country under British protection in Centra America, just across the Mexican border. Her group helped build a lit- tle house, a generator house, and other things on the campus there. They went to refugee camps where people have fled from Central America countries at war.

Darrell Shaule said as we .get ready for Easter and we become acutely aware of the significance of this season - to -spend some time contemplating what being a Christian is about. Our Chris-.

We look to His trial as set down in Luke 22-63:71 how he was misunderstood and not believed - even though He said He was the Son of God. flow sad. that even among His disciples. Peter denied Him. Judas betrayed Him and Thomas doubted Him. After all they hdd been through together their humanness came to the fore and the weakness of the flesh prevailed. - Jesus -today is the only asnwer for every problem and only when some tragedy happens do we realize our.ut- ter dependance on Him.
