The Church Order of the Christian Reformed Church, originally drafted in 1618, and revised periodically as the Reformed branches of the protestant church developed, begins with the following article: "For the maintenance to good order in the. Church of Christ, it is necessary that there would be offices, assemblies, supervision of doctrine, sacraments, and ceremonies, and Christian discipline..." Besides the minister of the word, each congregation has an elected council or consitory, with two separate offices; first elders, who serve the members in a spiritual capacity, and super- vise the minister, and second, deacons, who look after the physical needs in the works of mercy. Rev. Samplonius pointed out in this regard that this does not replace all members' responsibilities as Christians for spititual and charitable service. That is an important aspect of the Reformed churches. All members are con - the \ 1 Faith, Uniting the world One heart at a time Dynamics of Prayer for Solving Problems 4th Step - Have faith and confiden- ce that power will flow through - you, the right way will appear, the door will open, the right thought, the right message, the right prin- ciple, or the right book will be given to you. Have confidence and the right thing will come to your need. Then, as you rise from prayer, take at once the 5th step. 5th Step - Act as though it had all been answered. Then act with tireless, ceaseless energy. And as you act, you, yourself, will become a magnet, which will attract more power to your being, until you become an unobstructed channel for ' the 'Divine power to flow through you. O God, refresh and gladden my spirit. Purify my heart. Illumine my powers. I lay all my affairs in Thy hand. Thou art my Guide and my Refuge. I will no longer be sorrowful and grieved; I will be a happy and joyful being. 0 God! I will no longer be full of anxiety, nor will I let trouble harass me. I will not dwell on the unpleasant things of life. O God, Thou art more friend to me than I am to thyself. I dedicate myself to Thee, O'Lord.

On March 23, Bill Van Reenen was installed as elder. The council also appoints the various com- mittees, teachers, etc. to carry out numerous tasks on its behalf. They met 28 times in 1985. ' On March 17, the annual meeting of the eonf!rengtion "-1" hvlrr At this meeting reports of the council and its various com- mittees were presented. Some of the highlights and statistics of 1985 were noted in the annual report, written and read by the clerk, Joe Van Dyke. After a two and a half year vacancy, when the church had no pastor, ..Rev. Samplonius accepted a call) to serve, beginning in August. During July and August the associate pastor, Rev. Neal Hegeman, mis- sionary to the Dominican Republic, served the congregation. He and his family are returning to the mission field after a leave of almost a year, during which time Rev. Hegeman finished work on his doctorate. During the vacancy, the ministers of the area Christian Reformed Churches (the classis) took turns every other Sunday, with other ministers filling in when possible. Oc- casionally an elder would read a sermon and lead the service. According to the Church Order, the congregation must meet twice every Sunday for worship. During 1985, 25 infants and one adult received the sacrament of baptism and eight young people joined the church as full members when they made profession of faith. The financial report for 1985 and the budget for 1986 were approved after they were gone over with a fine-toothed comb! The budget is based on 168 families and about 50 individual members. However good the budget looks on paper though, at the end of the year there is always a shortfall. This is of concern to council, and members were urged to renew their commitment, both spiritually and materially. ends SUPERIOR MEMORIALS ESTABLISHED OVER 60 YEARS Clinton Area _.----,\MICHAEL FALCONER 153 HIGH STREET, CLINTON 482-9441 Goderich Area ROB ERT McCALLUM 11 CAMBRIA ROAD, GODERICH 524-7345 Sc Natrona FUNERAL HOME LTD. 153 HIGH STREET BOX FUNERAL CHAPEL CLINTON 47 HIGH STREET 482.9441 SEAFORTH MRS.

The children of Christian parents are holy citizens of the Kingdom of God and a special blessing from Him and should therefore receive an educa- tion based on the Bible and a relationship to God. In a Christian School all learning is car- ried on in the light of God's Word. As your children study any subject they also learn more about God and that everything belongs to Him. Our children are the future of our nation and they must be equipped to make responsible decisions as adults. Christian education is where everything is related to God and His.
