Revival Centre
Doug Butler conducted the Sunday
morning service. Assistant pastor
Pieter Schinkleshoek said living
without faith is like driving in a fog.
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

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. Because
Moses' mother cared for and trained
Moses in his early years, Moses had
faith to leave the riches of Egyptian
palace. Moses had -faith God was go-
ing to keep His covenant to bring the
Hebrews to the promised land.

Bible Society film.
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.

1987 has been a very busy year for
-Lucan United Church who has been
celebrating their 125th Anniversary.
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.
This was the first Sunda} with our
choir and I know everyone joins me
in welcoming them back.
