United Church
The monthly Outreach Cof-
fee Hour was held Sunday
after service at Lucan United
Church. A good number of
members and friends enjoyed
a time of fellowship over
refreshments provided this
time by members of the Dor-
cas Unit of the U.C.W.
Frank and Iola Goring were
in their places by the door
before the service to welcome
all who came. Wes Stanley
read the Scripture portions
for the day and the Choir
assisted also in worship as
they sang "We are God's Peo-
ple". Barb Coughlin told the
boys and girls about Jimmie
who wondered why Jesus
always looked so serious in
Bible pictures. His Dad
pointed out that world
leaders, with their heavy
responsibilities, often looked
serious too.
- Jesus hada bigger job than
any prime minister, for His
was to save the world from
sin. Jimmie decided that
those serious pictures are
good for they remind us about
what a very important job He
did. -Sue Barr and her sister
Anne then took charge of the
children during Junior
Congregation.
Rev. Brown continued his
series on Marriage and Fami-
ly Life with the theme, "Mar-
riage and the Home are
Serious Business". It is a
serious matter because so
many people are involved, not
only the couple, but family,
unborn children, the com-
munity and the country.

Revival Centre
Sunday morning music was
provided by Miss Wendy
Robertson playing the piano,
accompanied with Mr. Nello
Romagnoli playing his guitar.
Mr. Romagnoli played his
violin, as they. sang Jesus is
the Way, the Truth, and the
Life.
Rev. C..J. Williams
ministered from Ephesians
5:27 concerning the spotless
church of which each Chris-
tian is a part. Revelation 5:8-9
and 20:4-6 again stress the
redeemed Christian, changed
by God into a beautiful vessel
God can use, a priest unto
God. Leviticus 21:16-24 lists
the requirements of the Old
Testament priest.
No priest can offer to God if
he has sin in his life, or
blemish in his body. A blind
man is not accepted for an
Old Testament prie.;t. A per-
son who is blind spiritually
does not see or know the right
way of God. The lame could
not serve. Larne spiritually
people are up and down
spiritually, not strong enough
to conduct their own lives for
,God's services.
Nello Romagnoli and Miss
Wendy Robertson again
brought music for the evening
service. Nick and Margaret
Murray with Nello and Wen-
dy led in teaching a new
chorus Jesus, Now, More
Than Ever. As Mr.
Romagnoli played his violin,
Miss Robertson played the
piano, as she sang with him
accompanying her on the
chorus of I Met Him at ,the
Cross. They then sang He is
My Everything.
Rev. C.J. Williams and the
church board . welcomed
Michdel Creery, and Mr. and
Mrs.'Douglas Hindmarsh in-
to the church membership.
John Brooks, 4th year stu-
dent at Christianview bible
College, spoke from Colos-
sians 4:2-6. Just before Jesus
was taken up to Heaven, Ile
gave the reason for His peo-
ple to be left on the earth.
Christians are to he
witnesses, to share the love of
Christ to those around us. To
reach people in our communi-
ty we cannot keep separate
from therh. We need to he a
good neighbour useful in
reaching the unsaved.
Anglicans
It being•the first Sunday in
the month, the traditional ser-
vice of Holy Communion was
celebrated at Holy Trinity
Anglican Church. Welcoming
members as they arrived
were Nancy Whitehead and
her daughter Brenda.
Reading the appointed
lessons were Jim Shipley and
Marion Hodgins. Assisting
Rev. Pocock with the ad-
ministration of Communion
was Norah Elson.
The message given by Rev.
Pocock was based on the
readings. The promise of
righteousness depends on
faith in Jesus Christ for all
who believe that He is the Son
of God. Jesus makes it clear
that, confessing with our lips,
Ile is Lord, is not good
enough. .

give Life to Women" The life
style of a woman of New
Testament times, and some of
the negative attitudes she fac-
ed came to life through an
"imaginary" film strip.
Discussion on several Bible
passages revealed that Jesus
rejected those attitudes and
Froke taboos of His day by
treating women as persons of
worth and by befriending,
healing and forgiving them.
Hymns, prayers and Scrip-
' ture readings were included n
the course of the study, and

At Revival Centre
fix ckurcliis take par in Prayer Day
The Luca Community
World Day of Prayer was held
Lucan Revival Centre Fri-
day evening. Chairwoman
Mrs. Nola Murray aptly co-
ordinated the service, while
Mrs. Lorraine Armitage
beautifully played the piano
for the hymn sing.
Beginning the worship ser-
vice, Mrs. Marlene Thornton
sang Fill My Cup, Lord, and
Mrs. Thornton and Mrs. Ar-
mitage sang a duet, There Is
A River. Students from Chris-
tianview Bible College
ministered in music, and in
the drama Living Water
From Christ. While Nello
Romagnoli played his guitar,
he, Miss Nola Buck, and Wen-
dy Robertson sang For Those
Tears I Died. Portraying Liv-
ing Water from Christ, Ken
Ellington, narrated the story
of Christ meeting the woman
at the well in Samaria. Rick
Damon convincinglyacted
the pert of Jesus witnessing to
the woman, played by Miss
Patty Harris.
Living Water in the Old
Testament was read by Mrs.
Marion Hodgins, from Holy
Trinity Anglican Church. Liv-
ing Water in the New Testa-
ment was read by speakers
Mrs. Bernice Crunican, Mrs.
Aneta Geisen, and Mrs. Cor-
inne Reymen. Mrs. Geisen in-
troduced Father Finn as the
guest speaker.
Father Finn discussed that
he had-had.quite a lot of ex-
perience with water in his
sailing experience. The sub-
ject of living water opens up
much channels of thought.
Water is the most common
element of earth, with so
many bodies of water around
us in the Great Lakes also.
Water is a gift from our
Heavenly Father. First the
Spirit of God hovered over the
waters. Then God divided
land and water, and saw it
was good.
Moses deli irered the
Israelites through the Red
Sea. When they thirsted,
Moses struck the rock to
bring forth water. Jesus was
baptized in the waters of the
Jordan. When Jesus died the
soldier's spear pierced his
side, bringing out water and
blood. Jesus told Nicodemus
one had to be cleansed by
water and blood to be saved.
The rite of baptism was in-
stituted by Constantine when
pagan Romans asked to join
the church. Father Finn then
said the prayer for baptism
used at St. Patrick's church.
Our hope in Jesus Christ
must not be cooped up within
ourselves, but flow to help
others in this sick world. As
Jesus told the woman at the
well He would give her living
water, that should spring up
within us, so we need to ask
that we become springs of liv-
ing water flowing up to life
eternal.
The Christianview College
students brought musical
numbers. Mr. Romagnoli
played his violin, while Wen-
dy Robertson played her
guitar, as they sang first
