Evangelicals to form fellowship EXETER - "How good and pleas- ant it is when brothers live together in unity! For there the Lord be- stows his blessing, even life fore- vermore." Those lines from Psalm 133 were sung with great meaning by 20 ministers and lay Christian workers from 10 denominations gathered at Exeter Pentecostal Ta- bernacle, last Tuesday April 26. The informal gathering, chaired by Rev. Don Rogers of the Pente- costal Tabernacle, resulted from the Barry Moorc Crusade held in Exctcr this past January. Nearly 4,000 pcoplc attended those eight days of meetings. At the conclusion numer- ous lay pcoplc and pastors ex- pressed their pleasure at being with so many others who shared their faith, and suggested there should be further trans -denominational meet- ings. It was thought that a broadly- based evangelical fellowship be formed, and Tuesday's meeting was called to explore such possibility. Those attending recognized there are some large barriers to be over- come to achieve that objective. Thcrc arc firmly held doctrinal dis- tinctives that cause wide divergenc- es. Yet it was affirmed that the things evangelicals have in com- mon can overcome those differenc- es. As chairman Rogers pointed out, "We all believe in Jesus Christ as Lord, and that alone gives . us plenty of reason to fellowship and work together," and all agreed. SingultatuasistittortassaitaKwArr Several people underlined the need to express this unity. Rev. Clayton Kuopfcr of Zurich Mennonite Church drew attention to the fact the Scripture reports Jesus prayed for his followers "that all of them may be one, Father, just as you are in me and I am in you". Others ex- pressed the concern that in our com- munities there is the feeling that Christians cannot get along togeth- er, and that this misleading reputa- tion just has to be overcomc..It was thought that the proposed evangeli- cal"fellowship could do much in this regard. A further difficulty was confront- ed. onfronted. It was agreed that as much as possible should be done to avoid having the new fellowship appear to be another ministerial in conflict with the South Huron Ministerial. It was stressed this is not the inten- tion at all. Rather, these evangeli- cals see the need to get together from time to time to worship and praise the Lord. As well, it was af- firmed that there are quite a number of excellent opportunities for evan- gelism outreach that should not be passed by, but undertaken jointly. For instance, there are numerous large public gatherings in the arca from time to time which should re- ceive a concerted Christian witness. A further opportunity for joint participation was presented by Eu- gene Fox of Rayma Christian Min- istries of Zurich. It is a dial -in tele - Ohio balloon By MARGARET HOGGARTH KIPPEN - While cultivating her father's land on Saturday April 30, Janet Hoggarth spotted something on the ground, catching the sun, on close inspection she discovered a note covered with clear plastic, with string and remains of a red balloon attached. The note was from Rachelle Fox who is in Grade two of Salem Ele- mentary School, Route 2, Upper phone ministry called "New Life". Fox played a sample three-minute message tape, noting that callers will be encouraged to record com- ments and questions at the conclu- sion of the messages. These will be reflected in a weekly newspaper col- umn produced by Rayma called "New Life...The Callers' View- point". - Explaining the proposal further, Fox suggested. "There are many people in our communities who arc open to the things of the Lord, but arc not interested in such things as church services and crusade meet- ings". He indicated such pcoplc will accept the Bible's message from something as non -threatening as a telephone recording. The response to Fox's proposal was very favorable: At the conclusion of the meeting there was general agreement that the formation of the evangelical fellow- ship should be pursued. According- ly, a steering committee was ap- pointed to work out details such as the structure of an executive, the specific relationship to the South Huron Ministerial, the clear pur- pose and direction of the fellowship and its name. Committee members arc Rev. Don Rogers, Rev. Stan Desjardinc of Grand Bcnd of God, Eugene Fox of Zurich Mennonite Church and David Gardiner of Exet- er Bible Fellowship. found near Kippen Sandusky, Onio.

Cream or white is still most popular in rich textures of linen or silk shantung, often accented with an emerald green blouse. The "Weekend Encounter" was met in cropped pants, jumpsuits, full dirndle skirts, and blazers or bomber jackets. Walking shorts are plain or fancy, depending on the material and tailoring. In the swimwear section for "Pool and Patio," the ladies got to see the daring fashions for 1988, with high cut legs, shiny metallic fabrics and bikinis. The fiesta clothes "La Bama" fea- tured "born in the sun" hot colours, in frivolous fun styles with ruffles, frills and necklines to make the temperature rise.

The "Crinkled cotton" look is in, and cafe au Tait is a lovely new shade worn with peach or cream, all very pretty looks. The show ended with "Rhythm of the Night" as the younger models paraded in dresses to wear to the prom, all lace and ruffles, while others showed this season's gowns for "Mother of the Bride' in pale blue tiers, accented by embroidered sequins on one shoulder. All the models returned in their glamorous evening wear as they were introduced amid applause of the audience: Donna Hoffman, Dor- othy Peat, Tracey Soldan, Marie Bannon, Jackie Slade, Marge Rob- erts, Jenny Bumstcad and Roxanne Johnson, all local.
