The choir picked up the underlying theme of the Lenten season, as they sang, "O the wonder of it all -. just to think that God loves me!" Kit Hearn gave the Minute for Missions talk on behalf of the Mission and Service Com- mittee, pointing out that in their overseas mission work, the Church in Canada works closely with the indigenous churches in other lands. It is they who request mis- sionary help and aid of various sorts. The United Church tries to stand with them in their'need and meet the requests. This is possible only as congregations across Canada support the Mission and Service fund of the church. Donna Vanarenthals told the boys and girls about St. Patrick whom we honour on March 17. Though born in England, he was taken as a slave to Ireland as a teenager. Some years later, when once again in his native land, Patrick heard God's call to be a missionary to the Irish. He fulfilled that calling, and still today is honoured as the patron saint of the Irish. Don- na explained to the children how St. Patrick used the shamrock to help people understand the truth of. the Trinity. Gloria Maier and the Junior,Helpers took charge of the children for Junior Congregation. Rev. Brown's first in a series of Lenten messages was entitled "The Place of Faith in Life", bas- ed on a portion of Christ's prayer in John 17. Faith reveals God's pur- pose in creating us - that we might respond to His great love by loving Him and obey- ing Him in the world. God's plan was blocked by man's refusal to cooperate, but through Christ's death and resurrection, He made a new way whereby sin can be forgiven and overcome, and man, by faith in Christ can fulfil the destiny for which God created him. Faith also opens up a line of communica- tion with God through prayer. When we trust Him without reservation, we discover that He will never let us down. Jesus Himself demonstrated faith that His followers would not fail Him when he put in their hands the continuance of His mission. Likewise we to- day act in faith when we unreservedly commit ourselves to God in the assurance that He will work out His purpose in and through us. Coming Events - the senior choir practises as usual Wednesdhy- at 7:30 p.m. The Prayer and Share Fellowship continue their study of 2 Peter Thursday morning at 9:45 in the C.E. wing of the church.

Find out Young people in Ontario can take advantage of a number of excellent programs and services offered by the Government of Canada. If you're interested in any of the ones described here or in knowing more about others that are available, just use -the coupon - below to find out. • Youth Opportunity Fund The continuing strength and vitality of our nation rests with its young people. That .why the Government of -Canada has attached such great importance to creating jobs for Canadian youth. • In the last federal budget, $150 million was added to. the $1 billion Youth Opportunity Fund. The purpose of this fund is to help young people, including students, to learn new skills and find jobs in private industry and the voluntary and public sectors. 77ainin for Youth Haven't found the right job yet? On-the- job training is one of the most practical ways to gain valuable work experience. The Govern- ment of Canada General Industrial Training program allows you to earn while you learn. Many employers have already used this pro- gram to help give young people a start in life. Your employer may be reimbursed for nearly all of the training costs. As well, the Government of Canada will, in most cases, pay the employer half of your wages during the training period. Training may fast from a few weeks to a year. To learn more, use the coupon below. - Career -Access could open doorsforyou A lot of young people know what kind of career they want and may even have pre-. pared for it by studying at high school, univer- sity or training at vocational schools or community colleges. Even so, once they start looking for jobs in those fields, they may not be able to find 'what they want. That when the Career -Access Program can help. It was de- signed to encourage employers to hire these people so they can gain valuable experience in their chosen careers. The encouragement for employers is that the Government of Canada pays part of the wages while the person is gaining needed experience. Specialized Services - Because they have no job training or trade, lots of young people find it difficult to get jobs. So there are special programs designed just for them. For example, Specialized Youth Units (SYUS) are staffed with people who cooperate with community agencies and Outreach projects to place these young people in suitable and rewarding jobs where they can increase their skills. Theret a SYU branch in Scarborough where Ontario young people can appy for help. Planning nowforfuture job security - Modern technology keeps changing the ways we work and the jobs we do. Canada's National Training Program includes a plan that will make sure people are trained now for the . kinds of skills that will be very much in demand in the eighties and after. The Skills Growth Fund encourages public.training institutions and private non-profit organizations to teach . modern technical and related skills and to de- velop the facilities for this work. The easiest way to find out more about training is to ask at your local -Canada Employment "Centre. - • Get involved in Katimavik Katimavik is a popular and successful national youth program for single people from 17 to 21. If you participate, you will be involved for nine months, travelling in groups to differ- ent regions in Canada and working on commu- nity projects. The work is rewarding and varied, from the restoration of cultural artifacts to. the clearing of trails and waterways in munici- pal parks. While you don't get paid as you work, there is a $1,000 honorarium at the end of the nine months. ,. Some Katimavik projects here in Ontario have involved a companionship and home care program for seniors, establishing day care centres for single mothers and a drop- in centre for teens: • Or, you could find yourself budding a fishermen wharf on Cape Breton Island or staffing a community cablevision station in British Columbia. This year, 5,184 participants will be needed for over 400 projects in cities and com- munities across Canada.
