The Citizen, 1991-11-27, Page 10PAGE 10. THE CITIZEN, WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 27,1991. Minister's sermon, 'A Sure Thing' Auburn [Compiled by Mildred Lawlor The news from Phone 526-7589 Church's Youth Group leads morning service The morning service at Aubum Missionary Church on Sunday, Nov. 24 was highlighted by the dedication of Daniel Packer, son of Richard and Lynne Packer. Dianne and David Baan sang a very fitting duet ‘Breath on Me Breath of God’. Pastor Came's message “A sure Thing” was taken from II Peter I: 1-21. We were not eye witnesses of Jesus’ glory but we can speak of His promises. We should be sure of eternity and eternal things. Heb. 9: 27 speaks of after death the judge­ ment. After death a Christian will open his eyes to the wonders of heaven. A sure Scripture: Some people think the Bible is a myth but holy men of God were inspired to write. In secular history Isaiah prophesied and it was fulfilled 100 years later. A sure Saviour: Jesus said that He came to seek and to save those that were lost. Even the mockers attested that He was the Son of God. A sure Salvation: The answer to our need is salvation. It has been said Christians die well. They have a sure Saviour and a sure salvation. Next Sunday, Dec. 1 Jim and Pat McDowell of Kitchener who recently returned from missionary service in Nigeria will be at Aubum Missionary Church. There will be a Nigerian Fashion Parade. Refresh­ ments will be served afterwards. All are welcome. This is a very unusual fashion parade and will be of great interest to young and old alike.

She said it was the bumpiest ride she had ever had. There were 100 homes and were surrounded by water. Food and fuel were brought in by barge once a year. There were only two cars, one hotel, one nursing station, two stores and four churches. There was a lot of fishing and hunting done. They hunted caribou, polar bears and rabbits.

Thanks Again Bert Elliott Constitutional reform is about many things. But mostly it’s about you As Canadians, we are now facing one of the most important challenges in our history. Proposals have been put forward by the Government of Canada to improve our Constitution. These proposals, for a more united and prosperous Canada in which all Canadians can feel at home, are currently being reviewed by a special parliamentary committee. They will also be considered by a series of conferences run by independent Canadian organizations. Some of the proposals include: ♦ a Canada clause that speaks of our hopes and dreams as Canadians, our values, our diversity, our tolerance and our generosity of spirit ♦ recognizing the right of aboriginal peoples to govern themselves while being protected by Canadian law ♦ ensuring recognition of Quebec’s distinc­ tiveness and of minority language groups ♦ reforming the Senate to make it elected, effective and much more equitable than it is now ♦ strengthening Canada’s economic union so Canadians can work and conduct business anywhere in the country ♦ guaranteeing property rights.
