CHURCH NEWS The Christian Fellowship Church as a group, plan an evening of community carolling on Thursday, December 22. - The message given at the Christian Fellowship Church on Sunday morning was based on a verse-) from Matthew, "Where is 1-te that is born King of the Jews?" For centuries men have been searching for the King of Kings and Lord of Lords-- for the King of Love, Joy and Peace. The Christmas message is one of joyful declaration. The King has been found and can be found by each one. He came as the Christ Child, the Saviour of the world, and can bring to everyone abundant life here on earth and eternal life in Heaven. The Ambassadors singing group from Lucknow took part in the service Sunday morning. They rendered several beautiful hymn numbers, and their con- tribution was much ap- preciated by the church group.
