His wife, Helen, played lovely piano music prior to the service and for the choruses and hymns used. Members and friends were welcomed by Bernice Lockyer, who received special thanks from Wes for arranging the donations of cookies from the UCW for the Interdenominational Vaca- tion Bible School, just finish- ed on Friday. Registration was 143, with an average at- tendance of 118 and it was held at the Pentecostal Revival Centre. Wes told the children's story based on "Trust" and his sermon was taken from several scripture passages, the main one being Col. 3:17, which tells us that everything we do should be clone in the name of Jesus. A "new to us" chorus "In Jesus Name" was to be taught, but, as often hap- pens, the bulb on the overhead blew at the wrong time and it became a solo. by Wes, which was even more effective. Combined services will con- tinue, in fthe Lucan Church, next Sunday at 10 a.m. with Jim Robertson, also a newly dedicated lay preacher, in charge.

Roger Mason spoke concern- ing another ordinance of the church, water baptism. Reading Romans 6:1-4, he showed that Christ instituted water baptism as a symbol of what Christ has wrought in our lives. Why does the church practice water bap- tism? First because Christ commanded it in Matthew 28:19. As Christians win peo- ple for the Lord, making disciples for Him, they are to teach them how to be Christians. The Jews used to baptize people who wanted to accept the Jewish faith. John 4:1-2 tells us that Jesus' disciples baptized converts. The second reason is because the Chris- tian church practiced water baptism in the New Testa- ment. All Christians then were water baptized.

Many more instances are recorded in Acts of early believers being baptized in water. What is the meaning of water baptism? It is an iden- tifying with the Lord Jesus Christ. When a person is bap- tized in the name of the Father, Son and Holy Spirit, it signifies that new Christian belongs to God, submitting to the Lordship of Jesus Christ. Sunday evening accompa- nying Mrs. Lorraine Ar- mitage, guest Mrs. Ruth Thornton played the organ while Mr. Rick Thornton led in singing. Mrs. Marlene Thornton meaningfully sang He Was There All The Time. Rev. Roger Mason, from Matthew 28:19 and 9:37-38 stressed the need for taking time to pray for the need of the peoples of the world. Because of the TV coverage on happenings around the world, people can become more missionary minded. - Some of the effective methods for prayer for mis- sions are: take (he best possi- ble time; to make time for prayer; find a quiet place: forget all previous failures to prayer; fight all hindrances; Luke 21:36, focus on the Lord instead of the answer to prayer; don't give up cons- tant prayer; Luke 18:1-7; be specific in prayer; plan your prayer time. Matthew 6:9; use your spiritual authority; and find a prayer partner Matthew 19:19. Most Christian organiza- tions have lists of mis- sionaries to pray for. Because many countries are closing their doors to missionaries, Christians need to pray for their work.
