May we thank the Knights for their contribution for the church interior. K.C. invitation was extend- ed for Catholic men of the parish to consider joining this association.

The 250 priests of our Diocese will spend all day Thursday, October 6 with this couple while lay represen- tati'es from each parish in News from United Church Worldwide Communion Sunday was celebrated at Lucan United Church Sunday morning as members and friends shared in the Lord's Supper. Mr. Brown in his communion meditation spoke of Jesus as the Bread of Life. In the East, bread is the basic food, other foods secondary. It was in this sense that Jesus spoke of Himself - as the one who nourishes and sustains the deep inner life of man. That bread, His body, was broken on the Cross so that He could give spiritual life to needy mankind. -Through His resurrection, He became the Living Bread that does not perish, but gives eternal life to all who receive Him. But we must eat that bread if it is to nourish us. By this Jesus explains that he means coming to Him, trusting Him, and letting His influence find fulfillment in our lives. The Lord's Supper is a symbol and a sign to remind us of this great truth. The choir contributed to the worshipful tone of the service as they sang, "Nearer, still nearer." Sandy Munro and Betty Hall took the children out for their Junior Congrega- tion Craft period. Don and the Diocese will attend the Billings Conference from Saturday to Monday at noon (October 8 to 10) in Chatham.

The unit decided to order and sell United Church calendars and to give the proceeds to the Sunday School. Following the business _meeting, Jean Brown led in a Bible Study from 2 Chronicles:20. Just as King Jehoshaphat opened the way for God's power to meet the national need through prayer which included repentance, praise and trust, so we today can open the door for Him to work in our "impossible" situations. Following a closing hymn the ladies enjoyed a time of fellowship over a cup of tea.

The apostles, in asking for increased faith were really asking how to ob- tain the quality of faith that Jesus had. It is a matter of surrendering our whole being to God and letting our minds be conformed to the mind of Jesus through the Holy Spirit. Jesus says that our faith must be like that of the humble servant. Faithfully doing God's will, expecting no thanks, knowing that it is our good works. As ordinary servants of the Lord we become children of God and heirs to His richest blessings.

T -A photo Legion Week a success Legion week started off with a church parade with Branch 540 members mar- ching to the United Church, September 18. Monday was open house when members were asked to invite friends and relatives along. Tuesday we entertained between 25 and 30 veterans from Westminster Hospital. They played bingo and en- joyed beef stew and dinner rolls. Wednesday we entertained the senior citizens of Lucan to progressive euchre. About 44 seniors attended and prizes of free meals were awarded for high and low scores and lone hands. Comrade Jim Simpson, Past Zone Commander, gave a talk on the aims and objec- tives of the Legion. Cookies tea and coffee were served after the euchre. WI season gets going The fall Women's Auxiliary meetings started Wednesday evening September 28 in the Fellowship Hall of Lucan Revival Centre. President Mrs. June Henry opened the meeting with chorus singing. Mrs. Nola Murray talked of praise and worship from Psalm 95. The Psalm exhorts God's people to make a joyful noise unto the Lord, in praise. The Psalm then warns God's people not to harder their hearts as the Israelites did in the desert. In the business session, it was decided to hold a Baking Exchange for Christmas, in November meeting. The Canadian Women's Auxiliary president, Mrs. Ruth Nunn, from John 17, talked of working in unity. The Women's Auxiliary code is working together, helping others, as in 1 Peter 4:10-11. Mrs. Nunn closed her talk reading the poem, Motives. At the opening of the Sun- day morning service Twila Duthie beautifully sang, He Touched Me. Rev. C. J. Williams, from Exodus 4:1-5, explained we may place a low premium on our abilities, while God places a big premium on them. Moses saw and heard a miracle when he saw a bush on fire and heard God speak- ing to Him. God was calling Moses as His servant to go free His people from Egypt. But Moses did not want to be burdened with such a respon- sible hard job. He gave many excuses, but God told him he was to go. Moses was afraid the Hebrews would not believe him. God showed him a miracle he could use to help prove God had sent him. God showed Moses he could use what he had in his hand. What we possess will often make the unbeliever believe in God. We have to know what God did for us in saving us was a miracle. Without God our experience can be nothing. People watch us as what we possess from God, they do not have. Sunday evening Gary Schlegel led the song service. Rev. Roger Mason from 1 Samuel 27:1 said it is impor- tant we understand what has happened to David to make him be so discouraged. He had been anointed to be king after Saul. He was depending on God to place him as King Thursday evening a two - pitch ball game was held when the Legion challenged Lucan firemen and lost by one run. It was a lot of laughs and fun for everyone. Friday night a mass initia- tion and dance was held and 21 new members were in- itiated by President Gord Clubb and Jim Simpson who also spoke on the aims and ob- jects of the Royal Canadian Legion. The dance was free to all members "arid included a lunch. The week was rounded out with a corn roast in the lounge Saturday night and public relations officer George Mawdsley wishes to thank everyone who helped in any way to make this a very suc- cessful week.

Arnold and Marie Damen, Ethel Langford and Greta Gibsdn provided refreshments. in God's time. But Saul became so jealous of David's popularity that David had to flee for his life. There are three attitudes found in David's words in this verse. First he felt Saul would kill him, showing unbelief in God's ability to protect him, although he had been pro- tected by God. The vision of being king seemed to have died in David.

Liquid formula diet programs may promise dramatic weight loss, but you can't stay on them for more than a few weeks. And since you haven't learned new eating habits, as soon as you ,go off a liquid program, you're likely to put the weight right back on. Weight Watchers teaches you to keep your weight off permanently, through o bal- anced program of satisfying, sensible meals you can follow anytime, anywhere. We teach you healthier, less compulsive eating habits. And do it for a lower weekly cost. 2. "Medically supervised" clinics usually don't offer the sharing and support of group meetings. Some require you to buy and eat their prepackaged meals. Others try to sell you expensive vitamin and mineral supplements (maybe it's their diets that need medical supervision). Weight Watchers hos a food program that's nutritionally sound and requires no supplements. Our supportive group meetings are taught by "graduate" leaders who live the advice they give. And Weight Watchers does it all for a lower weekly cost. 3. "By -the -Book" diets don't offer personalized counseling or support (try asking Chapter 3 how to resist your mother's cooking). And if any of them work, why are there so many? Weight Watchers has over 20 years of experience helping over 10 million people lose weight and feel better about themselves. And our Maintenance Plan helps them stay that way. 4. Diet pills provide nothing more than a temporary "crutch." You learn nothing about changing your eating habits and are likely to gain the weight right back. So join Weight Watchers. Our program of satisfying eating and group support has helped more people lose more pounds than any other weight loss program in the world. Lose weight once and for all. WEOGHT Enroll at any class.
