United Church
"The Power of the Holy
Spirit in this Church" was the
theme of Mr. Brown's
message at . Lucan United
Church for Pentecost Sunday
morning. Before His acscen-
sion into heaven, Jesus pro-
mised His disciples, "You will
receive power when the Holy
Spirit comes upon you. and
you will be witnesses for me
in Jerusalem and in Judaea
and Samaria and away to the
ends of the earth." The Holy
Spirit is the One who brings
spiritual power to the Church
of Jesus Christ both on the
first day of Pentecost, and to-
day in this Church. said Mr.
Brown.
The•choir shared a good
message as they sang. "I'm
going to live the way He
wants me to -live." Linda
Froats told the children's'
story about Jerry who got so..
busy doing other things that
he failed to spend time with
Mr: Thompson and missed
out on -his summer,visit to the
farm. Sometimes children
and adults become so busy
with their own interests that
they fail to get to know their
Heavenly Father and miss
the many blessings He has for
them - the joy of His
forgiveness and Ills presence
in their hearts, as well as the
Home He has for them in
Heaven. Following the story.
Dorothy Dedels took the
children out for their Junior
Congregation craft period.

regular May meeting.
Dorothy Lankin, with the
assistance of Anne Holden,
opened with a worship period
on the theme Spring.
Readings, hymns, scrip-
ture, and meditation all em-

good gifts so obvious during
this Spring season. We can
praise God with our hands,
our lips and our minds, com-
mented Dorothy.
Phyllis Brady continued
with the Mission Study on the
South Pacific. She pointed out
that 17 Pacific nations are
scattered over 1,700 miles of
ocean. But rather than
isolating the people, the ocean
brings them together for they
use it as their chief highway.
Phyllis spoke also of the
nuclear issue in the South
Pacific.
Between 1946 and 1958, 66
nuclear tests were conducted
in that area by various world
powers, and this process con-
tinues to the present lime.
along with the dumping of
nuclear waste. Islanders and
their environment have suf-
fered greatly because o(this.
This is one of the issues of
most concern to Christians in
the area, and they look to
Christians living in more in-
fluential nations to stand with
them against this evil.
