Holy Trinity Anglican On Thursday the afternoon branch of the Anglican Church Women hosted a meeting for all the Women of the parish. Mrs. J. Murdy was the chairwoman Mrs, R.A. Carson introduced the speaker Mrs. K,B. Keefe of London. Mrs. Keefe traced the development of the Anglican Church Women from the W.A. She said the women of the church asked for the change because they wanted to involve more women in the cisorch. The A.C.W. is a much looser association of the women of the church. It takes in Sunday School teachers, Chancel Guild and Guilds. Its task is to channel the work of the church women Eventually it is expected that the Church won't have divisions of men's and women's work, Mrs. Keefe showed slides describing the A.C.W. At the meeting it was an- nounced that the Lions Club had approached the women to see if they would like to have a booth at the Lucan Trade Fair in August. On Sunday a special Palm Sunday Service of hymns and lessons was held. There were two four-foot Palm branches displayed that Mr, Carson had brought home from Florida. The nine lessons were read by grade 7 and 8 girls; Wendy Kraut, Lynn Stanley, Joanne Hodgins, Cheryl Davis, Ruth Ann Atkinson, Cheryl Hardy, Barbara Shea, and Sandra Avery. Rev. Carson preached on the Palm Sunday theme. St. James' Church On Sunday at St. James' Church the girls in the Junior Choir sang "Tell me the stories of Jesus'. Michelle Cunningham sang one verse as a solo and Joan Cunningham presided at the organ. The girls were directed by Mrs. A. Hill. Rev. R. Carson preached on 'Love is King'. He said that on Palm Sunday, Jesus and His disciples weren't sitting around philosophizing about the situation, Jesus was leading the tr uimp ha n t procession in to Jerusalem riding on the colt. This was a parade that appeared ludicrous to the Roman army but to the .Jews it was the fulfillment of prophecy. Mr. Carson said that we today have a tendency to think that majesty is power instead of realizing that Jesus was meek and that He said "the meek shall inherit the earth." We need to confess our sin of pride and arrogance and pray for forgiveness.
