Each girl then began to quilt their samples which were to be completed by the next meeting. Members decided' they would call their club "The Kinky Quilters." the Lucan Lions Club (spon- sor of the Boy Scouts) welcomed everyone and in- troduced dignitaries. An opening prayer was given by Rev. Glenn Fretz of the Gran- ton Bible Church. The Beavers delighted the audjence with the song, "Who started everything." Next, the Pathfinders demonstrated their laws by the use of ten different flower colours. This was followed by Marg Chap- man who did the theme reading "The Sower" and by Suzanne Kress who read a prayer written by a fellow Pathfinder. The 1st Lucan Brownie Pack enlivened the service with their song "Up, up with people," and the Venturers presented the skit "The Good Samaritan". Everyone then joined in singing "All things bright and beautiful" accom- panied by Beulah Hardy. Beaver leader, Linda Froats, spoke on today's theme "Bloom where you are planted". She stressed that each of us should make the best of our lives and to always remember how our example can affect others and set them on a path to their future. Using the story of Dr. David Livingston, she emphasized that in 100 years no one will recall the size of our house or the make of our car, but the world can be a better place to live In because we are impor- tant in the life of a boy or girl. The Scouts then highlighted for us the life of Lord Baden- Powell, the founder of the Scouting and Guiding Movements.

Sermon series continues Ted and Sherry Lane form- ed the welcoming committee Sunday at Lucan United Church morning worship ser- vice. Elder Freeda Melanson read the Scripture lesson and Sharon Newman was in charge of the children's story time. Sharon told the boys and girls Jesus' own story about a sheep who went his own way and got lost, and about a Shepherd who cared enough to search for him and bring him home. Barb Gibson took charge of the children for junior con- gregation craft period, assisted by junior helpers. The choir's theme also was the Love of Jesus, the Shepherd as they sang "A Faithful Shepherd is my Lord." Rev. Brown continued his series of sermons on the Christian Home as he spoke on the theme "Dealing with Difficulties in the Home." "Act towards each other as you would a month before you were married," was the ad- vice given by a happily mar- ried elderly couple when ask- ed for their key to a happy marriage. Rev. Brown pointed out that all marriages and homes face difficulties, some arising out of the unavoidable crises of life, and some as the result of moral weakness on the part of one or both partners. Peter in his first epistle, give guidelines for relationships between family members that help to resolve these dif- ficulties and build a strong marriage. In the case where both partners ate not commit- ted to Christ, the believing one should make it his or her aim to win the other, primari- ly through the genuine witness of his life. Compassion, understan- ding, courtesy, appreciation, and kind acts even when other family members do not reciprocate are some of the other principles Peter lays down in this passage for maintaining a good marriage and home through times of difficulty. "The success or failure of a marriage does not depend on the presence or absence of difficulties" said Rev. Brown, "but upon the dedication of both partners to work to achieve success by following God's plan for their lives and by dealing with their difficulties in a Christian way. Christ will guide and help it we let Him." Coming events - Wednes- day at 7:30 Lucan choir meets for practice, and at 8:30 V.I.M. canvassers meet in the C.E. wing.

T -A photo Archdeacon Beynon conducts services The order of service on the Sunday known as Sex- agesima, at Holy Trinity Anglican Church, was Morn- ing Prayer. In the absence of the rector, Archdeacon Roy Beynon, retired priest -in - charge of St. John the Divine, Arva, conducted the service. Making members and friends welcome were Don and Brian Ankers. Reading the lessons appointed for the day were Bill Smith and Michael Scott. Nancy Murphy held the at- tention of the children with a story entitled, "God is a Spirit". Ruth took her friend Terry to church to meet God. After church Terry asked Rtith, "Where was God?" Ruth explained that although we cannot see God, because He is a Spirit, we can ex- perience His Presence, draw- ing the analogy of the wind, which we can feel but cannot see. Archdeacon Beynon based his message on the Gospel lesson, Luke 19:1-10. Zac- chaeus sought to see who Jesus was and was greatly rewarded when he responded to Jesus' invitation "to come down." In coming to his house and to his heart, Jesus brought salvation. God continues to call us, accepting us as we are. We are God's people call- ed to help in the building of His Kingdom, day by day, and just where we are. The flowers in the sbnc- tuary were placed in loving memory of the late Mrs. Bessie Austen by her daughter, Dorothy Hender- son.

Revival Centre Tuesday evening guest speaker Richard Elliott, from Orillla, spoke from txodus 11:4 concerning midnight be- ing a time that should be of rest and peace. The Hebrews had been in bondage for over 400 years in Egypt. Now God had led Moses to bring deliverance to His people. God brought judgement to Egypt, and deliverance to His people in a midnight crisis. People are suffering today in kbondage of -sin as never before. As God prepared His people for the Exodus from Egypt to escape the bondage, we should be encouraging one another for the final deliverance of the church when Christ returns. Are we prepared, or are we reconcil- ed that there may be no change in our times? Bruce Henry opened the Sunday morning service reading a Psalm. Mrs. Lor- raine Armitage played the piano, as she and Mrs. Marlene Thornton sang This is the Time I must Sing. Rev. C.J. Williams ministered from John 4:1-30. Verse 4 says Jesus needed to go through Samaria. Usually Jews bypassed Samaria because the Jews and the Samaritans disliked each other. But Jesus felt compell- ed by God to go through Samaria. Jesus ministered to the daily needs of man because He was wholly man, es well as divine. The Holy Spirit may direct us differently than what we had wanted. It matters to obey the Holy Spirit because God knews what will happen. When we walk with God, otir lifestyle is subject to changes, because we are bought by God we are God's property. Thus God leads us sometimes in strange ways by divine intervention. Sunday evening Rev. C.J. Williams continued the story of Jesus' missionary work to the woman of Samaria from John 4:1-38. Jesus saw in this woman a soul that needed to be saved. The only way a Christian can reach a sinner is to be obedient to God's Ho- ly Spirit's guidance. Upcoming events - Annual Community World Day of Prayer, Friday at 7:30 p.m. at Lucan Revival Centre, the World Day. of Prayer is to be held.
