The Easter Ecumenical Service
was hosted by the women of St.
John's By the. Lake Anglican
Church on April 7. After the open-
ing readings and hymns, five area
churches participated in the pro-
gram.
Idella Gable represented Calvary
United Church with a tribute to
Bach, the Figure in G. Katie
Vincent of the Church of God,
spoke about the suffering of Christ
leading to the Glory of the
Resurrection, and how our suffer-
ing also leads to eternal life in
Christ. The representative from
Greenway United discussed the
influence of poetry and music, and
everyone sang the hymn "I Come
to the.Garden Alone."
Roberta Walker from the

A Point to Ponder
friend of mine was having a hard time hearing and finally
went to the doctor. The doctor took one look and discovered
there was a buildup of wax. The Bible makes an interesting
statement several times, "He that has ears to hear, let him
hear." (Mark 4:23).
Is it possible to have ears that hear, and yet not listen? Ruth Ann
and I often comment and laugh over the fact that she can talk to me
and later I can repeat back to her, exactly what she said. But often, I
haven't 'REALLY listened. Listening is a science and an art, yet
have any of us ever had a course in school on how to really listen?
Those who specialize in communication skills tell me that most peo-
ple underestimate the difficulty in hearing what is really being said.
For example, say John is talking to Mary. John thinks what idea he
wants to communicate. He then formulates words that will express
that idea. He then speaks those words. The words travel through
the air to Mary's ears. Her mind records what she thinks she heard.
She now interprets what idea John is trying to convey. She may
even.'6nclude what point is really on his mind. Anyone who thinks
they always know exactly what someone else is trying to communi-
cate is probably naive. Listening requires that we really focus on
what is being communicated.' It requires a real commitment to the
person who is talking. I have found in counselling couples in mari-
tal problems that "lack of listening skills" ranks near the top of that
which causes all other problems to be greatly amplified.
The point is - "get the wax out of your cars" and listen up! Listen
to your spouse.
Listen to your children. Listen to your friends. Listen to
God!
