Lorraine Clugston then led a Bible study based on the question: Are your warning lights working? She stated that many times people know very well the truth about issues, but are willing to be led to believe something quite different. Through the study of various scripture passages, she stressed to the group how necessary it is to firmly remember and not be misled about three truths concerning Jesus: He is the image of God; He is the firstborn over all creation and Reis the Creator. When we read an article, see a film or are told information other than what we 'mot? to be true, our warning lights should alert us tthe danger and remind us of the truth, Mrs. Clugston.said, . , As an expression of the Bible study theme, the group joined in singing "Thou Art Worthy", with Linda Pettigrew as pianist. The offering was received and Marilyn Baird led in prayer. A lunch eak, prepared by convener Sandra Walker and assistants, was enjoyed.

After a question and answer period, Mrs. Pettigrew thanked Mrs. Giesbrecht for her present ttion. •
