UC news "How's Your Trip?" was the subject of Rev. Keith Brown's sermon on Sunday morning at Lucan United Church. However, Mr. Brown was not speaking of the average summer holiday. His question was aimed at the trip, or journey, we are making in our Christian life. Speaking from Romans 3:23, Mr. Brown said that we all fall short of God's pur- pose for our lives which He has revealed to us down through the years. God wants us to be like Christ, himself and have the qualities named by Paul in his letter to the Galatians. "Surely you want to have these qualities", said Mr.. Brown, "I know I do." May we fulfill God's will for us in our daily family and corporate lives. The "mums"in the sanc- tuary were in loving memory of Allan Ready, placed by his family.

When we ac- cept Jesus into our lives we begin to see God's love. God's love motivated the miracle.of the virgin birth of Jesus. Rick Brewster again led the song service. Under direction of Mrs. Marlene Thornton - the choir sang"God is Love." Rev. Ray Brewster used Psalm 81: 1-10 for his text. God makes agreements with man, but we must keep our part of the agreement to see God's promises come to pass for us. Singing aloud to God is praise that brings us closer to Him, and brings pleasure to God. Music feeds our spirit when it is gospel music glorifying God.
