Lichty gives BMF message BRUSSELS --Mervin Lichty gave the message at the Brussels Men- nonite Fellowship on Sunday, Oct. 15. • The topic for the week was "Facing Our Fear of Living Insig- nificant Lives", following the main theme of "Facing Down Our Fears". Comparing ourselves to others can be unwise and damaging, . said Mr, Lichty. God sees each sparrow fall and we are each of much more significance than any bird, but should not compare ourselves with others. Significance isn't found in trumpet blasts, but in the, faithful- ness of everyday living, he contin- ued. Accomplishments outside God's command will ring hollow, noted Mr. Lichty and all else is mere van- ity. God formed us and He knew all about us even before we were born. For if God knows us that well, Mr. Lichty concluded,' we must be of significance. Erna Koch led the worship ser- vice and Lloyd Koch led the con- gregational singing. Kathy Procter was pianist and Darlene Heming- way played for the offertory.
