Swim pool opens The summer of 1981 is here and on Friday, June 26 at 1:30 the Lucan pool opens for the season. The pool staff realizes that there have been problems in the past; neverthelesswehope that you will support us. It is only through your support that the pool program in Lucan can survive. Besides having a brand new staff, there have been some changes made in the way the pool is directed. The most important change for this year is that we will be implementing the new red Cross 8 Level plus System 11. This means that pupils will be continually evaluated throughout the session. The advantages of this new program are that it is flexable. The instructor will be able to change it so that the candidate can progress at his her own rate which means less pressure on him her and there will not be such a big jump from level to level. Strokes are introduced ata rate of 1 stroke per level. This ends the problem of having to introduce and teach 2 or 3 strokes as was the case in the old system. Finally continual evaluation of the individual nature of the participants. Anxiety over test days will drop as the candidates are continually evaluated, so it will no longer be such a "one shot'' affair. If you have any questions about the new program, we will be happy to answer them at registration. Registration for session 1 (June 29 -July 17) will be held on June 27th from 10:00 a.m. - 12:30 p.m. at the pool. Please note that the size of each class will be limited to 15 pupils per Instructor. Therefore. it is important that you register during the alloted hours as it will be on a first come -first serve basis. Bring all post cards and crests to registration so the staff will know which class to place your child in . We have planned the 1981 pool program to include BIBLE SCHOOL Lucan Community Vacation Bible School is to be held at Lucan Revival Centre July 6 to 17, weekday mornings, 9 to 11 :30 a.m. for ages 3 to 13.

July 17. the closing program will be held at the church at 7 p.m. something for everyone. Due to its popularity last sum- mer, we will be offering "Moms and Tots". This is open to children of all ages who are unable to touch the bottom of the shallow end. thereby providing them with an opportunity to become accustomed to the water. Note as well that Mom or Dad must accompany the child to each class. Adult Lessons will be available as well as one session of RLSS Bronze Medallion. Please contact the pool staff if you are interested in participating in one of these activities. The adult swim period has been extended this year to an hour (7:30 - 8:30) on Tuesday and Thursday nights. We hope that more adults will take advantage of this longer period made available to them. We will be also of- fering such activities as Swim Team, Water Polo, Fitness Swims (lengths only) and Fun Days. Pool Rentals are available for any groups such as baseball teams, families or just a group of friends. NS you can see, there are many interesting activities being offered, so come out and participate. Don't forget thattheLucan pool is heated.

Anglican The Second Sunday after Pentecost - The First Sunday after Trinity, was celebrated at Holy Trinity Church using the Eucharist. Greeting worshippers were Patricia Pocock, David and Lawrence. Rev. Pocock based his sermon on the reading of the day, centering on the Holy Spirit and how it empowers the Church to proclaim the gospel message of Christ Crucified. Jeremiah was given the difficult task of proclaiming God's Word to a people who had forgotten their God Ile suffered great abuse from his friends because of his loyalty to God. So too, today. we as Christians, who are called to proclaim God's Word, find suffering and ridicule • Up -Coming Events: Bible Study Continues Tuesday evening at the Rectory, 8 p.m. until the Rector leaves for holidays.

Keith Brown and his congregation of Lucan United Church on Sunday, June 21st. Don and Anna Maguire were the members of the welcoming committee, a minute talk on Missions in Canada, was given by Sharon Newman, and the children's story was told by Iva Hodgins, with Barb. Bannerman leading in Junior Church. Speaking on "The Dialogue of the Supper",Mr. Brown told his congegation that there are three parts to the dialogue "Com- memoration" - "This do in remembrance of Me "Communion" while there is no physical communication in taking part in the Lord's Supper there is certainly much spiritual com- munication among believers and "Consecration" when it is one's duty to seriously examine oneself before taking Communion to make sure there is no feeling of resentment, etc. against anyone which would spoil the spirit of consecration. If there is let us confess it now. The flowers in the Sanc- tuary were from the funeral of the late Joseph Nagle. The prayers of the congregation are extended to his loved ones.
