Hebrews 11:23 says without faith it is impossible to please God. From Hebrews 11:1-23 he stated faith is the stuff for hoped for things. This is the kind of faith that believes God is there regardless of what happens to you. Mr. Schinkleshoek said in Bible Col- lege he learns that more and more science is proving the Bible is true. Mr. Schinkleshoek said there is a God of miracles. God gave each of us a measure of faith for us to use this Sunday evening Doug Butler led the song servie. Pieter Schinkleshoek read Psalm 51', the Psalm of repen- tance. lfehrews 11:23-40 shows to let go is surrender, to trust is God, show- ing faith for miracles. God never said there would never be any suffering, while He gives faith to bring one through it., Faith is an unspeakable splendor in a believer.

Winter is past. );low would you like to visit China? Would you enjoy hearing Christians in China tell their inspiring ex- periences following the Lord in this Communist land? You have that opportunity through a film to be shown at the Lucan Revival Centre on November 15 at 7 p.m. sponsored by the Lucan branch of the Canadian Bible Society. Lucan's five churches will be par- ticipating through music as well. The new film, "Winter Is Past" has been produced by a crew from the Southern Baptist Foreign Mission Board working closely with leaders from China's Christian Councils and seminars. "Winter Is Past" is not an official statement by Christian leaders in China, nor is it an interpretation of the Chinese situation by North American leaders. It seeks to present an authen- tic and representative view of Chris- tianity in China. We see things as they happen: wor- ship services in several recognized churches, a wedding, a communion service, village people in a "house church" service. We hear individual believers tell their own stories: pastors, seminary teachers and a seminary student, a farmer. By the end of the film you will understand much better the place of Christian faith in today's China and feel caught up in prayer by one of the great movements of the Spirit of God in today's world.

Activities have been on the go since the first of the year with one or two taking place each month. With the year drawing to an end, plans are underway for a United Family Christmas Dinner on Friday. December 18. As in most churches in Ontario, Lucan United observed Armistice Day, Sunday. Our guests included the local Legion members and their col- or party. The Boy Scouts were the of- ficial greeters, practicing their mot- to, of helpful friendliness. Rev. Shaule gave greetings to visiting family members, welcomed back travellers, issued God's speed and travelling mercies to those depar- ting for the winter and generally made his congregation (God's Church Family) feel loved. The children's story time was the entire history of the poppy, its origin, including the poem In Flanders Fields, given in capsule form, by Mrs. Donna VanArenthals. She is a lady with a real talent for story telling and to illustrate her narrative had brought along a miniature of Flanders' Field covered with poppies. The children were invited to each take one, as they left the sanctuary. The sermon taken from Josh 4 and the 18th Psalm were read by Legion members: These chapters in Joshua have to do with the drying up of the River Jor- dan. at the time the Ark ot the Cove nant was to pass across it. This was the Red Sea miracle all over again. Rev. Shaule went on to tell of. the stone monument erected on that spot as a reminder of how God had again come to the rescue The Cross is also a reminder. every time we see it of just one death. not the multitudes whti died in battle. preserving our` freedom. Just like those brave men no one took Jesus's life. Ile gave it just as we accept what our military did for us we give them our thanks - can we do less for the King of Kings.
