Review Revival Centre history
LUCAN - Rev. Roger Mason
summarized the history of Lucan
Revival Centre. About 40 years ago
members met in the Orange Lodge.
In 1955 Rev. Joseph Graham, as
pastor for 10 years, and members
built and dedicated the church which
is now Graham Chapel.
In •1964 Rev. Mason as a young
boy first heard the gospel in a Boy's
Brigade under the leadership of pas-
tor Rev. John Sexton. In 1965 un-
der the pastorate of Rev. Evert Gag-
non, the mortgage was burned for
the first church.
While Rev. Gerald Rees was pas-
toring, Rcv. Mason and members of
the Boy's Brigade held a .Coffee
House in the church basement. Rev.
Mason went to Bible College when
Rev. Ray Brewster came. When the
first church was filled, these new fa-
cilities were built.
On April 1, 1979, the new church
was completed. The . weekend of
May 12-15, in 1979, this sanctuary
was dedicated. Now 10 years later
the mortgage is paid off.
Rev. Pieter Schinkleshoek talked
about the future goals of Lucan Re-
vival Centre for spiritual and nu-
merical growth. Rev. Darrell
Shaule., pastor of Living Word Con-
gregational Chords brought greet-
ings from Lucan Ministerial Fel-
lowship, then read 1 Kings 8:22-23;
27-30; 54-61, and Acts 2:42-47.
Mrs. Marlene Thornton, guest
soloist, beautifully sang May This
be the Place. Elder Mr. Bruce Hen-
ry, with pastors Mason and Schink-
leshoek joyfully burned the mort-
gage papers.
Greetings were sent from Doug
Raycraft, MPP. Lucan reeve Nor-
man Steeper, who assisted in the
sod turning over 10 years ago, in
September 1978, said he was glad
_to hear of the planned spiritual
growth of the church.
Former pastor Rev. Ray Brewster
remembered the congregation had
raised S80,000.00 for the building,
with the loan of $102,600.00 which
is now paid off. Rev. Brewster
spoke from Joshua 14:6-15, saying
we have conquered a mountain in
burning this mortgage.
Like Caleb, this church has con-
quered a mountain, now it is time
to conquer another -mountain, in fol-
lowing the Lord -wholeheartedly, as
Caleb did.
Refreshments were served in the
Fellowship Hall after the service.
Service or Celebration
Opening the Service of Celebra-

Rev. Ray Brewster thanked every-

during his missionary travels. After
seeing people lining up to see a 5
1/2 ton gold buddha in Bangkok, he
thanked God for Jesus. In Calcutta
people worship 700 gods; including
rats and cattle. But they have no
peace.
Rev. Brewster has started a train-
ing centre for pastors in Hyderabad,
