Dedicate elders
at United Church
. A service of dediction for
elders was held Sunday mor-
ning at Lucan UnitedlChurch.
New elders being inducted
were Freeda Melanson, Bar-
bara Bannerman, and Wes
Stanley.Those reappointed to
office for 1983-1985 were Bill
Froats, Ed Melanson and
Stewart McLellan. During the
installation, each new elder
made a personal statement of
faith and commitment to
serve in this new office, while
those reappointedreaffirmed
their vows.
In the sermon preceding the
induction, Rev. Brown outlin-
ed Biblical standards for
those in this office from
Chapter 3 of Paul's first letter
to Timothy. He explained that
in the United Church, elders
combine the functions of -
"bishops" (overseers) and
"deacons" (servants), and
along with the pastor oversee
the work of the congregation.
Those chosen are to be
blameless in character and
worthy of respect. They are
not to be covetous, and must
have their own lives in con-
trol. If married, they are to be
good spouses, and must be
able to control and win the
respect of their own children.•
They must be servants of
others as Christ was, combin-
ing a spiritual ministry with
a practical emphasis. They
should be sound in faith, and
their spouses also should be
persons of dedication and in-
tegrity. Mr. Brown emphasiz-
ed the elder's role in bringing
honour to God and in building
up the .Church, through life
and example as well as word.
Anne Holden with daughter
Jane, and Jane Forster with
Tara were on duty as
welcome committee before
the service and assisted also
in taking up the offering. Barb

World Day of Prayer
held at Holy Trinity
The host church for the
WorldDay of Prayer service
in the Lucan Area was, Holy
Trinity Anglican. Each year
a special service is prepared
and distributed • by the
Women's Inter -Church Coun-
cil of Canada.
This year the writers were
lay Christian women of the
Caribbean representing a
diversity of race, culture and
tradition who wish to affirm
and to share their faith in
Christ through informed
prayer.
Those taking part were:
Mabel Froats, Lucan United;
Gwen Lynn, Clandeboye
United; Patricia Grace and
Anita Giesen, St. Patrick's
Roman Catholic; Ruth
Meszaros, Barbara Sloetjes
and Toni Davies, Revival
Centre; Hazel Cunningham,
St. James, Clandeboye;
Guest speaker, Larry Crut-.
tenden, lives on a farm out-
side of Lucan. He came to
Canada two years ago from
South Africa, having lived
there some 40 Years, and
comes from a Methodist
background. The theme was
"New Persons in Christ."
In coming to grips with pro-
blems related to any of the
developing countries, there
are three points to be made:
We ought to look at the pro-
blems of the world from God's
viewpoint as we look in the
Scriptures we find that most
of our problems stem from
selfishness and we ought to
see. the solution from God's
view -point.
Jesus said this requires an
toner revolution in man's
thinking and attitudes and
called it being born anew (a
super -natural act of the Holy
Spirit.) Paul said that anyone
who is in Christ is a new crea-
tion. Questions arise out of
this radical change of being
born anew.
is such a change really for
the better? Can this change
really address the problems
of our world? How does this
happen? What is man's part?
Seniors
The Lucan Senior Citizens
met in the club rooms, Thurs-
day afternoon. After the sing-
ing of "O, Canada", the presi-
dent welcomed Harry and
Marian Noels into the club.
They have recently moved to

chased a house on Harold
('ourt. The secretary and
treasurer gave their reports.

Paul gave us a clue, when we
no longer regard Christ from
a human point of view. (i.e)
When we see that it was real-
ly God that gave His life for
us at Calvary to indicate how
much He loves us and when
werespond positively to that
fact.
Two responses are possible.
Either we ignore it or come in
contrition - give love for love
and offer Him our allegiance.
The junior choir under the
direction of Beaulah Hardy
joyfully sang an anthem en-
titled "God is Love."
Following the service a
time of fellowship was en-
joye in the lower hall.

February 24 was a very suc-
cessful evening and we wish
to thank the parents that
donated the desserts and all
the volunteers that helped in
any way. The grotto comittee
is most grateful for the sup-

ACW MEET
The Afternoon Group of
Anglican Church Women met
for their monthly meeting of
fellowship at the home of Mrs.
Kay Egan.
The meeting began with
singing of a very old and
favourite hymn, "Breathe on
me breath of God." The col-
lect for Ash Wednesday and
for the second Sunday in Lent
was read by the president
who led in the opening; tke
member's prayer and prayer
fir our prayer partner Rev.
Henry Kekekeyash, was said
in unison.
While remembering all who
were ill, we especially
remembered our sisters -in -
Christ, Lexia Atkinshn and
Mae Bowman. Scripture
Readings were from 1 Kings
17:8-24 and Mark 6:8-24.
Meditation on the readings
was taken from the Living
Message pointing out how
very difficult it can be when
our own self-interest conflicts
with the demands of our faith.
We must be strong in our faith
to do what is right, no matter
what the cost. The season of
Lent provides us with a time
of self-examination.
Rev. Pocock brought a
challenging message on the
need for a spirit of tolerance
and to encourage it in the
lives of all that we come in
contact with.
in honour of Florence
Hodgins' 80th birthday, she
was presented with a
beautiful african violet.
Marion Hodgins read a Helen
Steiner Rice poem "Life's
Golden Autumn" and Joyce
Sovereign read a humorous
poem "On Getting Old." Bir-
thday cake and'?ce cream
were served and a good time
of sharing followed.

public suport we have had
recently, foresee this as a
viable reality.
Colony A of Beavers is in

your boys are involved why
not consider becoming involv-

Protest F
Lucan village council has
added their support to an ob.,
jection by the Middlesex com-
mittee for the 1982 Interna-
tional Plowing Match to the
action of the London Free
Press in reporting on events
at the. 1982 IPM held in Lucan.
The complaint being --for-
warded to the, Ontario Pr ss
Council In–Ottawa claims
reporting of the cir-
cumstances surrounding the
match was biased and
uninformed.
The letter from the commit-
tee and council continues, "As
the pole regional newspaper

the London Free Press has an
obligation to inform and ad-
vise its rural subscribers fair-
ly of the agricultural events in
its coverage area.

more significance to persons
in the agricultural business
than the annual International
Plowing Match. To report

All the girls joined in exer-

To correct an error made in

curling irons, blowdryers, etc.
After, each girl had either a

Team." Then they discussed
count down to good shopping

Everyone participated in
fifteen minutes of exercise to

Revival
Wednesday evening the
Women's Auxiliary of Lucan
Revival ('entre held their
monthly meeting in the
Fellowship i tall of the church.
Mrs. June Henry led chorus
singing opening the meeting.
Mrs. Judi Ross taught two
new songs while Mrs. Carole
Butler played the piano.
Mrs. Donna Miller, teacher
at Christianview Bible Col-
lege, told she and Mr. Mike
Miller were public school
teachers for 15 years, in
several states, then in Kit-
chener, and lately Orillia.
From several Scriptures she
showed people can have both
wrong or good thoughts. One
of the keys to positive living
is to kick had thoughts out of
your mind, then trust in the
Lord. Wrong speech can
cause trouble.-
If
rouble:if we confess we think we
are getting i11, our bodies will
prepare to get ill, according to
findings of a doctor. in con-
trast, positive confessing will
bring good. We can raise our
children to use good positive
speech.
The ladies enjoyed a light
lunch after life meeting.

from 2 Kings 4:1-17, about the

viding a room for the prophet
Elisha.
Sunday evening Rev. C. J.
Williams and the congrega-
tion read Luke 9:1-6. Because
God has a particular Office kir
each to fulfill, He calls us.
These 12 disciples were no dif-
ferent, until Jesus called
them, and gave them authori-
ty. There were no diplomas
issued. Instead Jesus gave
them power and authority
over all demons and diseases.
Up until then they were
followers of Jesus.
Jesus commissioned them
with authority to go out in His
name to work for Him. God
gives His disciples divine
ability after he calls them.
God's called people are
delivered from the devil's
discouragement. After giving
His disciples power and
authority, Jesus sent them to
reach others. God went with
them working signs and
wonders.

Council and IPM committee
ree Press plow match coverage
developments d)aplays an
arrogant - contempt on the
part of the Landon Free Press
for the ippterests of the in-
habitants of its rural
constituency.
We believe Free Press
subscribers deserved better.
Developments in the
technology of farming and
products of biological and
chemical research into crop
inputs are of vital importance
to our inhabitants and of
every municipality involved
in agriculture.
The health of the
agricultural hinterland is of
equal importance to urban
centres such as London whose
economies are directly af-
fected by the well being of this
hinterland. The London Free
Press ignored this area of
reporting.
In view of the violent objec-
tions of the owners of the Lon-
don Free Press to certain
recommendations of the Kent
Report we are concerned at
the paper's irresponsible at-
titude to its regional respon-
sibilities. We would add our
voice to that of others in their
objection."

ficials have said they would

Lent programme got off to a
good start Wednesday morn-

church with women present
from a number of area chur-
ches. Hostess Mabel Froats
welcomed those present and
introduced the guest speaker
forthe first'Mut, Debbie
Campbell, a Home Economist
from Centralia College.
"Choose Nutrition Now"
was her theme. She em-
phasized that it is possible to
reduce food . costs without
sacrificing good nutrition, by
being more selective in shop-
ping and by settling for less
variety and convenience in
the type of food purchased.
Helpful suggestions about
economical food shopping in-
cluded the following ideas.
List shopping needs under the
four main headings of the
Canada Food Guide, keeping
in mind the number of serv-
ings of each type of food re-
quired. Plan menues based on
weekly sales and shop alone
at a familiar supermarket,
taking with you only as much
money as your food budget
allows.

ning for Lent is scheduled for
Wednesday, March 9,

WHAT OFFICIAL INFORMATION ABOUT
ME MIGHT I EVER NEED?
When accurate information is needed to fill out
forms and announcements, it is often hard to
locate or remember. You need all sorts of in-
formation when you marry, buy insurance,
apply for credit or a job, and yes, even when
death occurs.
It is wise to prepare such o total record now
and keep it in a safe place!!.not in a safety
deposit box because they are usually locked
until after the funeral, but rather in a locked
drawer of your desk. Do, however, inform your
spouse of where this information may be
found.
Information most often needed includes: 1) full
name, address, Social Insurance number, arm-
ed forces serial number, 2) hirthdate and place,
3) employer records, 4) name of father's and
mother's birthplace and dote, 5) names of
organizations and publications to be notified,
6) location of important documents, 7) any
special funeral preferences or pre-
arrangements, 8) pre -arranged donation of
eyes or body organs, 9) names and addresses
of all persons to be notified or your depth.
