Chris tian Reforrned Church CLINTON - In the past few weeks, a number of notable events have taken place in the Christian Reformed Church. The congregation witnessed the public profession of faith of 12 young people. This means that they are now communicant members rather than baptized members. When making their profession of faith, a number of vows are made in connection with their personal faith, their baptism, church doctrine, and involvement in the ac- tivities of the church. The church, families, and friends rejoice with these members in their decision and promise their support, en- couragement and prayers. On May 11, five infants were baptized. Although this was Mothers Day, the Chris- tian Reformed Church does not make it a practice to make this a special day for bap- tism. Four of the five couples were first time parents! As a congregation, members pro- mise to support them. Another significant event was the meeting of Classis Huron in Exeter. A classis is a group of neighboring churches. In the case off Classis Huron, it consists of 18 congrega- tions in the region bounded by Owen Sound, Colingwood, Orangeville, Acton, Cam- bridge, and Exeter. Classis Huron serves about 1,650 families, or 7,500 souls. A classis makes decisions on projects that are run by this group of churches such as campus ministries. A classis may also be asked for advice by any church. Two delegates from each church make up the classis body when it meets three times a year. One of the issues dealt with this session was the approval of the process that will make the Vanastra Christian Church more independent. Up to this point it has been a project of Clinton Christian Reformed Church and Classis Huron. It is a big step in a project that was first conceived in 1973.

(David Emslie photo) Assistive devices program extended TORONTO — Ontario's assistive devices program, which now covers 75 per cent of the cost of medical devices for young people up to the age of 21, will be expanded to cover prostheses for people of all ages beginning July 1, 1986, Health Minister Murray Elston announced. Prostheses include artificial arms and „legs, breast prostheses, facial prostheses and prosthetic eyes. The assistive devices program will be fur- ther extended to cover 75 per cent of the costs of respiratory equipment for people of all ages on September 1. This will include ventilators, suction machines, compressors and equipment for people with cystic fibrosis. Mr. Elston also announced that coverage of all' other issiistive':deviices ectlkipme}}11t in - eluding ii�heelchairS, ostomy siipplies,`heai•- ing aids, visual and communication aids, in- continence supplies and orthoses, which in- cludes braces and splints, will be extended to include those who are 22 years of age on July 1, 1986. Costs for the additions to the program will be $4 million for 1986-87. This will bring total annual costs for the expanded assistive devices program to approximately $18 million. The program helps toprovide medical devices for people with chronic il- lness or physical disabilities. "The government is committed to the ex- pansion of the program until all remaining categories have been extended to people of all ages. This will ensure that Ontarians with physical disabilities, which require special devices, have access to such ser- vices," Mr. Elston said. Agencies such as the Cancer Society and the March of Dimes traditionally assist peo- ple in need with the remaining 25 per cent , portion of costs fdr assistive. devices. The Assistive Devices Proggg�a__m Advisory Committee greatly helped the"3iinistry with .the planning and development of the expan- sion of the program. Volunteer groups also played a key role in advising the ministry on how to proceed with the phasing in of the program expansion. .

Health Minister Murray Elston announc- ed last September the ministry would pro- vide up to $300,000 to establish OPEPA, with the aim of supporting and counselling peo- ple with AIDS.
