- LUCAN - Sunday morning 'Tim
Kritzeh led the worship in song.
Rev: Roger- Mason asked Mrs. Iso-
bel Edwards to: present a set of
World Book Encyclopedias to a
family chosen by the church, .to -Da-
vid Molnar and family who have a
hearing handicapped boy.
• Rev. Mason read II Corinthians 9
which tells of Paul collecting offer-
ings for the poor in Jerusalem. Paul
tells us we can give sparingly,
grudgingly, or generously.. Paul had
-sent workers to Corinth to have this
give of money prepared before he ar-
rived. Each Christian should come
;prepared to -give to God of his life,
-his work, .his money and his wor-
ship to God,
Christians, according to verse -6,
should give,proportionately, as God
has prospered them. He who sows
or gives bountifully shall leap -
bountifully, both physically, and
:spiritually as he gives to God and m-
others. -
Rev. Roger Mason conducted the
evening service. Mr. Verle Bends
Christianview Bible College student
was guest speaker. Mr. Bends spoke
from Matthew 161:16-30. From
verses .16-19, Mr. Bends showed the
contrast -of John the Baptist humble
wilderness -ministry, and Jesus' -pub-
lic -ministry.
Jesus preached the gospel and per-
formed miracles in.many.cities. But
three cities around Galilee were up-
braided by Jesus because they did
not repent. Today many .people crit-
icize Christian workers just as peo-
ple criticized Jesus instead of repent-
ing: -The problem is not with God,
but with man's attitude.
Upcoming events: January 15,
Sunday morning a Teen Challenge
group from Hamilton will be mini-
stering in the morning service. Pas-
tor will be ministering in the even-
ing service. -
