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. Coming Events .

The Quilters are busy this week with a new quilt, and invite all who can to join them each day in the C.E. Wing . 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. .

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 Busy time for Brownies The second Lucan Brownie" pack has been very busy the last two months.
