Warmly welcoming the congregation as they gathered for worship were Lorraine and Bill Smithand their granddaughters,' heather and Kate. Ar- chdeacon Roy Beynon was again in charge of the service due to Rev. Pocock's continu- ing ear infection. The Old Testament lesson was read by Joyce Sovereign and the New Testament lesson by Bryan Smith. The Senior and Junior Choirs sang "Who Can We Turn To" a message of God's great love for us in sending His Son, Jesus to be the Saviour of mankind. The children's talk was given by Patricia Pocock bas- ed on the Gospel Lesson. Jesus healed terr lepers but only one returned to give thanks. How very important it is to give thanks to God for all things but equally impor- tant to thank parents and friends for what they do. Archdeacon Beynon based his message on the collect for Ascension Day. We know that Jesus ascended into the heavens because it is record- ed in scripture, where and how and witnessed. He gave His disciples their commis- sion - "Go throughout the whole world and preach the gospel to all mankind." The message of ascension is for us in the here and now. We cannot live without'God. We are made His children in our baptism and are not just earth bound. God sees the ex- traordinary possibilities in or- dinary people. We are citizens of the Kingdom of Heaven.

Front, Lynn Smith and Chris Anderson. Missing was Bob Smith. T -A photo Revival Centre service Rick Thornton opened the service with the congregation singing choruses and hymns. Marlene Thornton and Lor- raine Armitage sang "I Will Glory in the Cross." The prayer was given by Kim Bedford. The sermon was brought to the congregation by Bishop Nunn and was taken from the story of Jesus and the Woman at the Well, John 4:19. The conversation between Jesus and the Samaritan 'woman resulted in the proper place to worship and Christ brought her to the heart of worship. It is not the geographical location that determines if we are worshipping in the truth. We must do more than a men- tal consent or even an attitude in worship. Worship must come from the very most depth of our being. It must be a worship that is acceptable to the spiritual nature of God and the truth that he has revealed to the believer in their relationship with God. Jesus was trying to show a new dimension of worshipp- ing God as the temple worship of that day was mechanical and a dead form of worship. Lack of understanding in the light of the word of God results from lack of knowledge from the truth of God's word. Isaiah 1:10-20 God rejected the burnt offerings and sacrifices as the attitudes of their hearts and uncleanliness had crept into their lives and had made their worship unac- ceptable to God. How can our worship be ac- ceptable? We must meet the demands of His word in that we have humbled ourselves and have a contrite. heart. Christ tells us to give God our hearts. Luke 18 tells us about the difference between the prayers of the Scribe and the Pharasee. Worship is not justifying ourselves and priding in who we are but recognizing we are all sinners and would be lost without hope exceptit be for the grace of God. Closing prayer by Roger Mason. Evening service Rick Thornton opened the service with the congregation singing choruses and hymns. Several testimonies were shared. The prayer was given by Ed Butler. The sermon was brought to the congregation by Bishop Nunn and was taken from Genesis 5:21-24. If we were to leave one memory behind for people to remember us with, what would it be? Genesis tells us that Enoch was a man who "walked with God" What does it really mean to walk with God) 1) Implies fellowship with God. If we spend time fellowshipping with Christ our attitude toward life and others would indicate and radiate this. Moses and Abraham talked face to face with God and had direct com- munication with Him. hn of ' 4_ Destroy Weeds fellowship with us by the still small voice, written word and divine providence and we will know His will and have His guidance. Walking must be together -side by side- hand in hand. How often have we got- ten ahead of God or held back when He was trying to lead us on! 2)Implies service for God. This is being involved in Christian ministry in one form or another. Christ gave ministries to the church and every child of God has gifts and talents that can be used for service to God. Everyone can be involved in a ministry or service, humble as it may seem. 3)Brings us to progress in Holy living. True measure- ment of holiness is determin- ed by attitude toward God, fellow man, the house of God, Christian service and ministries and to everything we own and possess. This had nothing to do with how we look or dress.
