Wing of the Church for their regular May meeting. Flora Robertson, in charge of the study and wor- ship for the day, gave an in- spitational talk on the In- fluence of Mothers in Scrip- ture. When Hannah' s prayer for a child was answered at the birth of Samuel, she gave him back to the Lord in gratitude. Because of this expression of love to the Lord, His bless- ing came to her and to her whole family. Speaking also of Timothy's mother and grandmother Eunice and Lois, Flora pointed out the tremendous influence mothers and grandmothers can have in - the spiritual development of children and mentioned a number of prac- tical ways to promote the growth of spiritual values in a young child. Marj Park chaired '-the business meeting. Various up- coming events were announc- ed, and arrangements made for the light lunch which will follow Anniversary Service on June 3.

The Mission and Service Committee of the church were in charge of a Mission Service Sunday morning at Lucan United Church. Larry Cruttenden, special speaker for the occasion, gave a challenging missionary message as he described a fruitful outreach effort in South Africa. "To Preach Good News to the Poor" was his sermon theme. He spoke on the efforts of a Methodist lay minister and his team in an area plagued by drought and extreme poverty. In villages throughout the area, congregations of new belivers have been formed through the team's personal witness, house to house visita- tion and outdoor preaching as well as through the demonstration of God's love through famine relief efforts. The reality of the faith of these new Christians is shown as they continue to trust God through difficult times, as they reach out themselves to - evangelize other villages, and as they give generously of their funds to God at great personal sacrifice. Several committee members participated in the service. Ed Melanson con- ducted the service and Verna Ibbitson read the Scripture. Sharon Newman had charge of children's story time. She reminded the boys and girls how happy Jesus was to welcome Bible -time children, and how He does the same for us today. Many children in mission lands long .to know Him too. Our missionaries make this possible when they take His message to them. Barb Gibson took the children out for Junior Congregation craft period. Ken and Susan Rees served as welcome com- mittee and also as ushers. The choir's anthem spoke of Jesus' concern for the poor and the refugees of the world and His identification with them. Flowers in the sanctuary were from the funeral of the late Bruce Hodgins. The prayers and sympathy of the congregation go out to the Hodgins family. There was also a lovely plant placed in the church by the family of the late Sheridan Revington, in memory of him. Upcoming events: Prayer Break meets at the Church Wednesday at noon hour.
