The sermon was based upon the first Epistle of John Chps. 1-11 which teaches that if we confess our sins they will be forgiven by God through the blood of his Son Jesus Christ. Since the absence of Rev. Karl Boersma, the congregation of the Vanastra Christian Church each week seems to be diminishing. We realize that there are people still on holidays but if we are to keep our church active until we are fortunate enough to obtain a resident minister, then we must continue to support it with our presence on Sunday mornings. So won't you please feel free to attend and enjoy a morning of fellowship as well as worship. We have been fortunate enough to have the services of visiting ministers each week but if the at- tendance continues to drop, they will begin to feel that it is not wor- thwhile to come. We hope that this will not be the case. So please help to keep our church active. The' community needs it as a source of strength and guidance.
