HodgIrs* 227.4714 Senior Citizens to return visit to club in Michigan Members of the Sunshine and Busy Buddies' groups accepted. with pleasure, an invitation to make a return visit to Montrose, Mich. Sr. Sunday School officers meet Teachers, officers and their spouses of the Lucan U.C. Sunday Church School met' for a turkey dinner Sunday evening, followed by a hymn sing, with Helen Stanley at the piano. Sandy Meredith, of Ilderton, showed slides and told of her work with "Teen Mission" in India last summer. Sandy, who is 16 years of age, gave a most inspirational witness to her faith in this presentation. The ingredients for the lovely dinner were provided by the group themselves, but Supt. Jim Robertson thanked the members of the Dorcas Unit who assisted by setting the tables, cooking and serving the dinner and washing up. United Church "Jesus: God's answer to Anxiety", based on "The Sermon on the Mount" was the theme of Rev. Keith Brown's sermon at Lucan United church on Sunday morning. Anxiety causes many disorders in our minds and bodies, but this infection is not new to us, commented Mr. Brown. Ever since the beginning of time people have been anxious about many things and this problem is no respector of persons. Jesus asked "Why be anxious"? He gives us much needed advice in the Sermon on the Mount and if we follow it, putting our trust in God, not in "things" we need not worry. We will find that con- centrating upon living each day for the Glory of God will cure us from anxiety and bring to our lives that abundant life in Christ here and now. A father and daughter duet "Tell Me the Stories of Jesus" sung by Lisa and Henry Kaune added much to the service. The children's story, likening saying nasty things about others to the dandelion seeds blown in the air, was told by Dorothy Dedells as the children sat together in the two front seats. Betty Hall and Marguerite McRoberts welcomed members to the service and Debbie and Raymond Hall assisted Bob Murray and Don Maguire in receiving the offering. The potted mums in the Sanctuary were from the Bates -Appleman wedding on Saturday and the flowers were from the funeral of the late Joe Haskett. Sympathy is extended to his family and friends.

RICAN FIGURE SKATERS — Taking part in the activities this year of the futon figure skating club are Bill and Pat Kelly and John Hodgins. T -A photo Revival Centre Practicing for drama Sunday morning, Danny Gilliard led the song service. Rev. Ray Brewster ministered from Isaiah 6:1-8 and 43:19, saying when we have a great need, we should see God high and lifted up, as Isaiah did. Instead of murmuring and complaining let us get our attention on God's glory. As Isaiah had a revelation of God in His holiness, we know our unworthiness as God cannot tolerate sin. Without Christ we cannot do what we should. As the seraphim used a coal to cleanse Isaiah's lips, we need to use faith in Jesus to cleanse us. We cannot live without right relationship with God. We need God's cleansing in our lives daily. We need to start by making restitution to those we have wronged. Like Isaiah we need to say "Here I am send me". This will mean we will go where He wants us to go, be what He wants us to be, and do what He wants us to do. Sunday evening, Mrs. Marlene Thornton ministered singing "Take My Life", followed with a duet with Mrs. Thornton and Mrs. Lorraine Armitage, "Have Thine own Way, Lord" Rev. Ray Brewster speaking said praise is the only sacrifice God has asked us to give. When we are in trouble to praise God is the sacrifice of praise. We then need to continue in a sacrifice of praise to bring the answer. Upcoming events: Saturday, February 21, is the Winter Odyssey at Bingeman Park, Kitchener, followed by a Mike Warnke rally in London.

For kindergarten Registration at Biddulph Pre-school registration has begun for all those children starting kindergarten in September, who must be five years of age on or before December 31, 1981. If you have a child in this age group or know of one who has not been registered please contact the school. Thursday, February 5 Ron Bellows, music director and seven students from the music department at Medway, three of whom were former Biddulph students, Lori Noyes, Mary Lou Tindall and Pat Bates, presented a musical program for the whole school. Each of the young people played a different instru- ment and Lori added to the program with her lovely vocal numbers. This presen- tation was made to interest the students going into Grade 9 in September, in the music program at Medway. Late in January, Bob Pearce, Guidance Depart- ment head, spoke to the Grade 8's, trying to help them to decide on the courses they will take in September. Tomorrow, Thursday, February 19, the public, as well as parents, will have the opportunity of hearing the Madrigal Choir from Medway. at the Home and School meeting in the Lucan building at 7:45 p.m. Includ- ed in the program will be a presentation by Kindergarten pupils, and the top four speakers from the schools will give their speeches.

Instructional skating has begun for pupils at the Lucan School and parents are in- debted to the Lucan Lions Club which provides the ice time. The program followed is from the Middlesex Coun- ty instructional skating guide. The proceeds from the Christmas Concert at the Biddulph School have been used to purchase equipment for the Phys.

Again on February 9, Sharlene Barnes, a grade 4 student. was televised as she gave her speech on the same subject. It is hoped that everyone in the community saw both of these segments on FYI. Two new teachers have joined the staff since Christ- mas. Miss Margaret Carruthers is the new kindergarten asssistant working half time with Mrs. Sharon Barnes and Dwight Baer is the grade 4-5teacher replacing Lynne Plummer who got married and moved to Toronto. Anglican Church Two lay readers from All Saints Church, London, Margaret Wackett and David Eastman, took charge of the Morning Prayer Service, at Holy Trinity Anglican Church, in the absence of the Rector due to illness. Worshippers were greeted by Beth, Bryan and Heather Smith. The Old Testament Lesson was read by NoraLee Elson and the new by Edythe Murdy. Penny Hodgins led the children in singing "Follow Me" prior to their leaving for Sunday School classes. The sermon was given by David Eastman, taking his text from the Gospel, Matt. 4: vs. 23. "We are not only responsible for our actions but also for our thoughts", said Mr. Eastman. Jesus is quite definite in His teaching that before we can offer ourselves and our gifts to God, we must be at peace with God wants 100 percent of His children and anger in our hearts prevents us from entering God's kingdom. Jesus did not promise it would be easy to follow Him and it means submission to God's will in our lives. In choosing to please God we have His promise that He will never abandon us but is always ready to hear our prayers. As Christians we are called to love one I� another which is the "Great Commandment". Bible Study continues each Tuesday evening at 8 p.m.at the Rectory. The World Day of Prayer for all persons in Lucan area will be held in St. Patrick's church Friday, March 6 at 7:30 p.m., being held in the evening to permit more working people to attend. NEED A DOG?
