December 4, 11 Anglicans plan White Gift Sundays The Sunday next before Ad- vent, The Feast of Christ the King, was celebrated with the Contemporary Eucharist at Holy Trinity Anglican Church. All through the Trini- ty season the themes have been the living of a Christian life, the consequences of knowing Christ. At this final point of the Christian year we think of bringing all those ef- forts to God and awaiting His response. And His response is an astonishing promise! He Himself is once again about to be born among us and in us. The living (Trinity) leads to a new birth (Christmas) and the preparation of it (Advent.) The welcoming group for the day was Marla Wilson, Cory, Trista and Patricia. Assisting with the service by reading the appointed lessons were Norah Elson and Betty Ankers. Assisting Rev. Pocock with the Eucharist was Andy Van Geel, Lay Administrator. Flowers in the sanctuary were from the funeral of the late Clifford Shipley. Sym- pathy and prayers go out to his family. Rev. Pocock's message was based on the readings for the day. Expectation is in scripture a theme with many levels of meaning - one being our expectation that in this approaching season of Advent there will be a spiritual com- ing of Christ to us giving us grace to continue our faith in Him and our service to Him. Is Christ your King? Most of the people who taunted and jeered Jesus to save Himself were completely ignorant of who He was or His Kingdom. Is this not true today? We live in a world which is ignorant of the World of God and living in disobedience to His will for us.He calls us to a life of deny- ing the "self" in us and to lov- ing and caring for each other through the way of the Cross. White Gift Sunday is being held on December 4th and 11th. For some the Christmas season is not a time of joy or celebration. White Gift Sun- day gives us the opportunity to share. Gifts of clothes, toys, food and money will be received. The Sunday School teachers are meeting ThtYrsday, November 24 at 8 p.m. in the Parish Hall. A memorial service in celebration for the life and witness of the late Lillian King was well attended by family and friends on Sunday afternoon at Holy Trinity Anglican Church. Lillian was a faithful member of the congregation for some twenty years. She was loved by all whose lives she touched. Her wit and sense of humour a delight - living life to the fullest. This celebration took the place of the celebration plann- ed by her family to honour her 90th birthday, November 21. God intervened and called Lillian into His presence. By celebrating the Eucharist together, at the table of our Lord, as the family of God, we too, were brought into that presence to rejoice rnd give thanks to God for her life. The service was conducted by Rev. Bruce Pocock, rector of Holy Trinity, and Rev Greg Smith, rector of the Church of the Transfigura- tion, London. Greg is married to Maureen, granddaughter of Lillian. Members of the family took part in the ser- vice. Alan King, her son, read the Old Testament lesson; Bryan Smith, grandson, read the New Testament lesson; gospel by Rev. Greg Smith, grandson; and the Ptayers of the People were led by Maureen Smith, granddaughter. The Homily, given by Greg, was a reflection op the life and witness of Lillian, as mother, grandmother and friend. She left the legacy of caring, sharing and loving, in the knowledge and love of God, our Heavenly Father. Following the service a reception in the lower hall was held and a time of fellowship enjoyed. United Church "Who is this Jesus Christ?" was the theme of Mr. Brown's meditation Sunday morning at Lucan United Church. As in Jesus'. day, so today, there are many opinions about Jesus' identity and significance.But it is to the Scriptures we look to find an answer to this question. The Old Testament saints ex- perienced Him and came to know Him in some measure, but the full picture comes to us in the New Testament. Here we see Him; through Stephen's eyes, as standing in the place of authority and power at the right hand of God. The Apostle Paul backs up this view of Him and tells us that Jesus is the likeness of the invisible God and the one to whom all power is given. In the Gospels we see Him as the King who blessed many lives and whose kingly bear- ing is apparent even in the hour of rejection and death. Jesus saw this humiliation as God's way of bringing. the world back to His Father, and He willingly gave His life a ransom for many. But it is not enough for us to know that Jesus is King and saviour. We must also commit ourselves to Him and Let Him be king in our lives. Bob' and Helen Patterson acted as welcome committee for the day, and later, assisted by daughter Linda and by Kim Newman receiv- ed the offering. • A highlight of the service was the baptism of the three small sons of Paul and Debbie Revington, Phillip Wesley Paul. Matthew Robert, and Wesley James. Following the ceremony, Dorothy Dedels. on behalf of the U.C.W. presented them with books. Bernice Lockyer, on behalf of the Lucan Women's In- stitute, presented four volumes of the Tyndale Bible Commentary, to be placed in the Church Library: These were in loving memory of Leda Revington and Hannah McGuffin. Mr. Brown receiv- ed them on behalf of the Church and dedicated them to the glory of God. • Flora Robertson, in charge of story time. told the boys and girls abotlt Johnny and his flashlight. When Jesus is our Saviour, He lives in our lives as a light and we can show by our actions that He is there. When we do so, others come to know Him too as the Light of their lives. Under Flora's direction, the children (and adults) enjoyed singing and acting out the familiar children's chorus. "This little light of mine." Dave Barr and helpers then took the children out for their Junior Congregation Craft period. The flowers in the Sanc- tuary were from the funeral of the late Clifford Shipley. The sympathy of the cor - gregation is extended to the family at this time. A selec- tion of Library books were placed in the pews for the con- venience of adults who may wish to borrow them. This service will be repeated for the next two weeks. A number of new titles have been added to the library recently. Ladies are reminded of a Christmas pudding -making bee for the bazaar on Mon- day, November 28 at 9:30 a.m. at the Church. They are asked to bring mixing bowl and measuring spoons and cup.
