Through our relation- ship with Christ we should in humility consider others better than ourselves, looking not only to our own interests, but also to the inter- ests of otheis. Ouf attitude should be like that of Christ Jesus, as servant (in human lilkeness), and obedient at all times, even to death. We were encouraged to reflect beyond the borders of Hamilton Conference, to be more inclusive, and .to recognize and offer support to our neighbours through our missions. The Rev. Lapp expressc thanks to Bruce Presbytery for taking initiative in creative ministry (in particular, Queen's Bush Rural Ministry), and he also commends the St. Paul's and Five Oaks on their joint campaign. Rev. Lapp related his own faith journey, noting that while God is Always with ns; we keep .meath Jesus Christ in different ways. After the Holocaust he began to see Christ in greater dimensions - the emaciated Christ the suffering Christ, an oppressed Christ. "ugh all, we recognize Jesus is alive and present, a very central figure in'our worlq without Him we are nothing.
