Carl Pierre, Revival Assembly, London, was the guest speaker. From Phillippians 4:19 Rev, Pierre stated the Bible is the only book of which the author is always present when it is being read. Mankind is faced with three important needs. First is financial need. Second is physical need, which is more important. Third is the spiritual need, which is the most important. This verse says our God will supply all our needs. To receive we must come with expectancy, and belief. The desire man has to fill his vacuum in his life is satisfied in salvation to meet the spiritual need. Christ can supply our physical needs in healing when we have faith. We must believe God can meet our financial needs before we pray for God to meet our needs. Our faith brings the answer. Rev. C.J. Williams Sunday morning introduced Leonard Evans, from Houston Texas, as the guest minister. Mr. ,Evans started speaking from 11 Timothy 2:1-4. Because we are soldiers of Christ, we are responsible for what we hear from God's word. From 11 Corinthians 10:3-6 we learn we have to get our mind renewed. There are condi- tions to Christian warfare. Coming to church does not • St. Pat's plan pork roast A Parish Advisory Board meeting was held on Tuesday in the staff room of St. Patrick's School. All members of the parish were invited to attend. Wednesday, August 17 a parish pilgrimage to the Marian Shrine in St. Marys will take place. Mass will be celebrated at 11:00 a.m. out of doors, before the rock -built Grotto of Our Blessed Lady. After a picnic lunch, the Rosary Procession, Benedic- tion of the Blessed Sacrament and the Special Blessing of the sick is to be conducted by Father Pat Moore. Everyone welcome. - For all COR sisters and brothers, St. Patrick's fourth annual pig roast will take place on the spacious grounds at the Church on theafter- noon of Sunday, August 21. At 2 p.m. mass will be celebrated to be followed with baseball and other sports ac- tivities. All COR graduates are invited. make one a Christian, because one must be born again of God's Spirit. When we have the nature of God living in us, we wake up praising God, and enjoy being in God's house. Salvation is a gift of God we do not pay for or earn. psalm 37:23-24 states our steps are ordered by God. God's army came on their own free will to serve Him. In return in Proverbs 3:1-6 they receive met'cy, long life, and peace. Isaiah 55:6 tells us to call on the Lord. Isaiah 65:24 says God will answer and hear us. Ephians 6:11-13 says God's army must put on God's ar- mour to be able to stand against the devil. Rick Thornton opened the evening service leading the singing. While Larry McGill played the piano Bruce Thom- son sang I Owe it all to Jesus. Rev. C.J. Williams spoke from Exodus 13:17-18, telling that after 400 years of bon- dage, the Hebrews were let go. God led them through the wilderness, a time of testing them, and building strength and character in them. God will lead us and prove us in discipline. Exodus 14:1-2 tell of the Hebrews encamped in an impossible one way out situation. Verse 21 shows how God delivered them. This discipline of an impossible situation will make a strong Christian out of us, as God proves His deliverance from impossible situations. Then the Hebrews found bitter water as in Exodus 15:15-26, and murmured against leader Moses. When they prayed, God showed them how to make the Water sweet. God proved them there. After the bitter water experience, they came to an oasis of good water and rest under palms.

T -A photo. and district news Expect profit of $16,500 fair a success, despite fewer people Despite slightly smaller crowds, the 1983 Lucan Lions Fun Fair proved to be quite successful. While attendance was estimated to be down 10 per- cent from a year ago at about 12,000 a sizable profit to be us- ed for community service work is expected. Fair treasurer Bob Benner said Monday that profits would likely be in the neighbourhood of $16,500. Benner suggested the small decrease in the 1983 atten- dance was due to the coun- try's economy. He added, "While the economy appears to be recovering, it doesn't seem to have hit the general fair goer yet." Attendance at the Saturday afternoon appearance of the Juno award winning rock band Carol Pope and Rough Trade was disappointing. About 1,400 spectators paid $7 each to listen to the group in a special enclosure at the south end of the fair grounds. r• - Treasurer Benner said the rock music venture was not disastrous financially. He said, "although we did lose some money on this deal, one must remember we usually paid several thousand dollars for Saturday afternoon entertainment." The Friday night entertain- ment provided by Sonny James and Marie Bottrell on stage Saturday night proved very successful and attracted large and enthusiastic crowds. The Sunday afternoon parade in charge of parade marshal John MacDonald drew a large number of en- tries and attracted spectators the entire distance from the OPP station to the arena grounds. . Adding to the number of participants were Lions clubs from numerous Western On- tario communities, a large number of Shriners with their variety of cars, the singing Sweet Adelines ..tong with Susan Cook 225-2730 Busy weekend for scouts, many leaders needed What a busy weekend! Many of the people, both adults and young people, in Scouting participated at the dunk tank and Scouting booth, in the parade and with clean up at the Lucan Fair. Thanks to all who helped especially those who got "dunked" for Scouting. But further participation is needed to keep Scouting alive in Lucan. There is a severe shortage of leaders for all sec- tions and of Group Committee members. It is not necessary to be a parent or to have Scouting experience. Hours are flexible. Training and un - forms will be provided. It is a very satisfying and in- teresting way to spend a few hours every week. Our current situation is as • • follows: Beavers A (meeting at St. Patrick's School) has three leaders. Only 15 boys will be able to register unless more leaders come forward. This means that all last year's Beavers will not be able to re- join. Please contact Judy Damen 227-4744 if you can help. Beavers B (meeting at Lucan Public School) has two leaders and will be able to register 10 boys only unless there are more leaders. Con- tact Linda Froats 227-4706 if you can help. Both Cub Packs need leaders before they can register new boys. All Cubs registered last year will be able to re -join. Contact Marg Chapman 227-1031 or Doug Halladay 227-4107 if you are able to help.

He thanked also all those who so capably led in worship dur- ing his vacation time. Psalm 84 was the theme of the meditation for the morn- ing. The first section deals with the psalmist as a Prais- ing Man. He took great pleasure in the house of the Lord, yet saw beyond the beautiful building to the living God who alone could satisfy the hunger of his heart. He was also a Praying Man who recognized that his strength comes from the Lord. He had discovered that this strength could turn the "valley of weeping" into a place of blessing for himself and for others. In addition, he was a Trusting Man one whose trust was in the Messiah of God's promise. He took great pleasure in the presence of the Lord. and praised Him for the love that showered good gifts upon him. Ken and Sue Rees served as welcome committee for the service.
