New song for children The order of service at Ho- 1Trinity Church was the con- temporary Eucharist. The collect for the sixteenth Sun- day after Trinity is a petition that God will continue to cleanse and defend thy Church - without the Spirit of God, the church is a sad, sorry and dead thing. With the Spirit it can be a powerhouse for good in human life and in human society. Members and friends were greeted by Don Ankers. The lessons appointed for the day were read by Don Ankers and Marion Hodgins. The children were introduc- ed to a new song, "Come along with Jesus" prior to their departure for Sunday School classes. Rev. Pocock spoke briefly to them on the need to walk along daily with Jesus as their guide and friend. The sermon was based on the Gospel - Luke 16:1-13. The parable of the shrewd manager - the 'rich man' represents God and the 'steward' anyone who is working for God, and that means us, for we are all work- ing with His Dpasessinnc Just as the steward was summoned before his master, we too shall be summoned before our Master. And we shall be asked to give an ac- count of how we have used His resources. God has given each of us many gifts and re- quires that they be used in the building up of the body of Christ - the Church. Jesus tells us that we can- not serve two masters. It is our choice to either serve God or mammon (things of the world. ) Which master do you serve?
