LII and district news Susan Cook 225-2750 Churches join Couples club leads service Members of Lucan United Church worshipped with the Clandeboye congregation on Sunday morning with the Lucan Couples Club in charge of the service. Ed Melanson opened the service and introduced his son Alan, who led in many choruses during the service and sang four solos "I Cannot be Defeated" "Majesty" "Praise the Lord" and "What's Wrogg with My Children" . accompanied by Larry McGill of Hyde Park who also played for the con- gregational singing. Speaking from Luke 4:21, Alan pointed out that God anointed Jesus as He was baptized by John, and He received the Holy Spirit, but when Jesus came out of the wilderness after being temp- ted by Satan, He was "full of the Power of the Holy Spirit". We must accept this help and power today, the gift of the Holy Spirit. We need to hear and listen to the "Good News" that Jesus preached as He came to set us free in every area of our lives. "This morning, let us take a step and stand on God's power", said Alan. Just "join- ing" a Church is not enough, we must receive Jesus into our lives and accept all He has to offer. Next Sunday at 9:45 a.m. the service will be in charge of the Lucan UCW with Rev. Cecil Jardine of London as guest speaker, on the theme "Can These Bones Live".
