Times-Advocate, 1984-05-23, Page 19lucan Anglican Morning Prayer was the Order of Service at Holy Trinity Anglican Church. Ar- chdeacon J.R. Beynon, retired priest, was in charge of the service, in the absence of the rector due to illness. Making the congregation welcome were Brian and Bradley Ankers. Reading the Second Lesson was Andy Van Geel. Nancy Murphy held the attention of the children as she read them the story, "The Little Wheel That Caused Trouble". As long as the four wheels of the car obeyed the steering wheel, all was well. When one wheel decided to go its own way the car didn't run smoothly. As Christians, our steering wheel is Jesus and as long as we obey Him things run smoothly, but the minute we try to do things our own way, we are in trouble. The Sermon given by Ar- chdeacon Beynon was a reflection on the - 'graciousness of God' as he examined each of the ap- pearances of Jesus following His Resurrection. God con- tinues to graciously meet each of us at the point of our need - where we are, on our level, and always (in every way of life) in a gentle loving manner. The Junior choir practice will not be held this week but are asked to come early next Sunday morning.

He told the children a story entitled "Something Solid to Stand On". God's Word shared in Scripture were read from Acts 6:1-7, I Peter 2:1-10, John 14:1-14. The sermon was entitled "How Firm A Foundation?" Some years ago doctors were very concerned about the diet of young infants. The quality of baby food lacked the necessary nutrients. A medical team from the presently controversial Children's Hospital in Toron- to invented pablum which has been credited for saving the lives of children the world over. • Jesus spoke of our need for . a genuinely nourishing spiritual food. He tells us at Craig the 81st District Annual of Middlesex North District Women's Institute at Granton United Church on Thursday. Mrs. Bruce (Janice) Karr led the sing -song with Mrs. Lee at the piano. there is more to life than our merely physical nature. While Pablum has helped set a foundation for the physical well being of so many it is Christ who has set a founda- tion for the spiritual well- being of those of the Christian faith. The early apostles were charged with the task of establishing in their genera- tion throughout their world. Their world, like ours, was a fast ppced generation. Nothing seemed solid. One empire took over from another. We need to keep our sights on Christ as foundation of the faith. He is the Way, the Truth and Life - the Source of our physical and spiritual being! As followers of the Prince of Peace we have been called to make God's re-creation of the world known to the world. We are called to celebrate our re- birth and the world's re -birth througout our lives! Rev. Matheson spoke a minute for missions entitled "A Church For The 80's". The United Church Women will be in charge of the Church service Sunday May 27 at 11:15 a.m. The ladies are singing a special number. There will be special music before the service.

Why not take a few minutes to remind your family to stay safe around the pool? Keep electric radios, tvs, clocks, barbecues, lights and other appliances at least 10 feet (3 metres) from the pool. Appliances really shouldn't be used outdoors at all unless they are equipped with a heavy duty cord and 3 prong plug. Swimming pools should be well away from hydro wires ... otherwise, you run the risk of hitting the wires with long handled cleaning equipment. To hit even a light bulb with a skimmer or vacuum cleaner is dangerous. For extra protection, all outdoor electrical outlets should be equipped with a grouncrfault circuit interrupter. This is especially important ih damp locations where more protection is necessary than a fuse or circuit breaker can provide. Exeter Public Utilities Commission Chairman, M.A. Greene Manager, II.I,.
