How often and how loosely this word is used in our everyday lives. I imagine if we stopped and marked down each time we said the word "hope" in our every day conver- sations, we would find probably most of us would repeat it six times or so. Sunday morning service "hopeful- ly" gave us a clearer insight into this word. During his time with the children. Rev. Vipperman spoke to them about hope and the importance of having patience to wait for whatever they are hoping for. With the accompaniment of his guitar, our rector taught the children a song call- ed "Hope". The sermon was based on Romans 8:25 "now hope that is seen is not hope. For who hopes for what he sees? But if we hope for what we do not see, we wait for it with patience.' Using many real life illustrations. Duke got the point across that basical- ly there are four necessary elements to human hope. First. there must be something in our lives to hope for. Secondly. we oust decide to really want that thing very much. Next, whatever we are hoping for, we must dedicate ourselves to waiting for it to come about. Lastly, to know, without a doubt, that God can deliver what He has ordered for our lives. Faith, love, and hope - three impor- tant factors to help us along life's path. Last Tuesday evening some of us gathered at the rectory for an ice cream sundae social. It was an even- ing of fun and fellowship, and also good sundaes! A very enjoyable way for our rector Duke and his wife Deb- bie, and those present, to get to know each other better.

Roc grants Recreation facilities needing upgrading and remedial work will be getting help through the $6 million capital conservation program an- nounced by John Eakins, Ontario Minister of Tourism and Recreation. In Southwestern Ontario approx- imately 80 projects will benefit from the program. Three in the area included in the list include: Township of Stephen, $12,145 to replace arena roof; Township of Tuckersmith, $7,000, repairs to Vanastra curling club; Village of Zurich, $1,185 to construct viewing area in arena. "My ministry recognizes the need to keep our recreation facilities up-to- date," said Eakins. "To meet the challenges of changing recreation patterns we need to make sure our ex- isting facilities . are Maintained. modernized and made safer to keep step with the times." The capital conservation program is designed to fund necessary repairs to existing indoor facilities such as swimming pools, arenas and com- munity centres, as well as upgrading outdoor facilities like ball fields and playgrounds. "Ontario's recreation facilities have to reflect the needs of all residents," said Eakins. "This pro- gram enables provincial facilities to adapt to meet the special needs of the physically challenged, the elderly and the youth in every community."
