Anglican
Advent is the first season of
the Christian Year. On the
first Sunday of Advent at Ho-
ly Trinity Anglican Church,
the custom of lighting the Ad-
vent candle was part of the
Morning. Prayer service. As
the first candle in the wreath
was lit by Sarah Henderson,
the congregation were
reminded that Jesus said, "I
am the Light of the world.
Those who follow Me will not
walk in darkness, but will
have the Light of Life." The
junior choir in song, told the
message of the first candle
"One Bright Candle for
Hope."
Greeting the congregation
as they arrived for worship
were Frank and Carol Hardy.
The New Testament Lesson
was read by Donald Ankers.
The senior and junior choirs
sang the -anthem, "There's a
Voice in the Wilderness
Callins."
Rev. Pocock's message
was based on the readings for
Advent. God calls us out of
darkness into light. Human
life is a mixture of elements
which all of us know well.
There are the dark elements
of anxiety, fear, depression,
and the like. They tend to
crush us. There are also the
elements of light. For the
Christian what are they?
Faith? Community? Sacra -
Revival
Opening the Sunday morn-
ing service, Mrs. Judi Ross
sang Lift Him Up, with sign
language also, while accom-
panied by Mrs. Lorraine Ar-
mitage playing the piano.
Rev. C. J. Williams spoke
from Luke 18:9-14, showing a
wrong motive and attitude in
prayer. Both the men in this
parable were equal in oppor-
tunity. Both went to church.
This was commendable, but
not proof they were saved.
Both believed in God. But
there is a big difference in
believing in God, out of fear
and training, or from a per-
sonal relationship. Men form
their opinions of our religious
living by what they see. But
there is a danger of getting
mixed up by what we see. The

Church
ment? Loving relationships?
Holy Scripture?
They are the ways in which
the actual grace of God enters
our lives. Life is lived in the
context of our being accoun-
table, and Christ is the stan-
dard by which we are deem-
ed accountable. Advent calls
us back to the beginning, to
examine ourselves to see
whether we live in the dark or
in the light. We must sort out
our priorities and choose to
become as God intended - a
caring, loving people.
Prepare the way for the Lord
... Now.
Next Sunday, December 4
and December 11 are White
Gift Sundays. All ladies of the

religious Pharisee in this
parable was so religious he
prayed by himself, exalting
his religious living, talking to
God as though he was equal to
God. There is a danger of
Christians becoming like this
Pharisee. super religious
without real love and feeling
for others.
Mrs. Lorraine Armitage.
accompanying herself on the
piano, worshipfully sang
Where the Spirit of the Lord
is, There is Peace.
In the evening service Rev.
C. J. Williams spoke of our
position of victory in God. He
read Joshua 5:12-15, Acts
12:7-10 and Judges 6:11-16.
Then he read Acts 27:9-44, the
story of Paul and those on
board ship escaping to land in
a violent storm. In all of these
stories God sent an angel to
minister to His people in trou-
ble. God has given to us His
word to guide us to come out
of the bad situations we may
be in
Peter was in jail with no
way out God sent His angel to
bring him out. We may be in
such a situation from which
there seems no way out also.
God saw a spirit of resistance
in Gideon to fight the enemies
to deliver Israel. God has to
use something in us to bring
a victory. Every committ-
ment we make is in danger of
leaking out unless we have an
encounter •, ith God.

at local United Church
At Lucan United Church on
Sunday morning, the Manger
Scene, the Chrismon Tree and
the Advent Wreath were all
reminders of the start of the
Advent season, a time of
preparation for the coming of
Christ.
Barb Bannerman lit the/
first candle of the advent
wreath, then' t•ead_ the pro-
phecy of Zechariah, which
speaks of the coming Saviour
and of John the Baptist who
prepared the way for Him.
The choir sang also of the
coming Saviour in their an-
them, "0 Come, 0 Come Em-
manuel." Ed Melanson read
the Scripture portions for the
day and Fred and Beth
Cowdry assisted by Denise
and Lynn welcomed friends-
at
riendsat the door and later receiv-
ed the offering.
Iva Hodgins told the
children's story using an ob-
ject lesson which helped them
see the importance of grow-
ing good roots. "The best way
to do this " said Iva, "is to
come to Church and Sunday
School Where we learn to
know and love Jesus." Gloria
Maier along with junior
helpers took the children out
for their junior congregation
craft period.
Rev. Brown's message
"The King is Coming" spoke
of the return of Christ when
He will be recognized by -all
the earth as King of Kings.
'1 he prophet Isaiah tells of the
desire of nations to learn His
ways in that day and of the
cessation of war. This vision
of the prophet comes to us as
the invitation of the Lord to do
likewise.
Matthew speaks of condi-
tions in the world just prior to
the King's return, conditions
which close parallel our own
day. Christ compares this
time to the days of Noah when
warning of impending judg-
ment went unheeded. Christ's
call comes to us today to be
ready to meet Him at any mo-
ment. We are ready to
welcome the King when we
allow Itirn to be Saviour and
Lord of our lives.
