Times-Advocate, 1982-04-28, Page 27Sunday School sponsors story Church started an hour ear- ly for many on Sunday, when they joined the more senior classes of the Sunday School at 10 a.m.. to see the slides taken by Don and Carol Langford, of Kerwood, when they visited Somalia to help in the delivery of "Corn for the Horn". The Langfords told the children the story of "Corn for the Horn" from the word "go" and showed many pictures -of home, school, work, etc. in the refugee camps. Don and Carol visited a "Parents for Children" or- phanage in the ares as they belong to this organization having adopted two little girls in addition to their own three boys. Dave and Sue Barr of Lucan are also "Parents for Children" and would be hap- py to give you further inThe Mission and Service committee was responsible for the phasing of the 11:15 service, when Mr. Langford told the congregation the need is stW very great and Mission and Service contributions are. the main source of revenue. He compared "The Good Samaritan" story with what we mist do to help in this and similar situations, not just "do" for them now, but help them to look to the future as well. With this in view a seed bank is . needed for East Africa for planb that grow in arid tem ratures, forage plants for both men and beast. Rev. Bruce Eaton, a U.C. minister from Stratford and his son, Andrew, are in the refugee camp now drilling for a source of pure water instead of the refugees having to use polluted river water. "Everyone cannot go as Bruce has been able to do," said Mr. Langford, "but as members of the Christian faith we believe in prayer and we must identify with those m other lands, remembering them in prayer, believing our prayers will make a difference." Mr. Langford was introduc- ed by the Chairman of the M.&S. committee Marjorie Park and thanked by Ed COLLEEN B CHAMPS - Of the Luton ladies bowling was the team of: (back, from left) Sharon Dewan, Laurie -Anne Bartlett, Nola Lewis, Agnes O'Sullivan; (front, from left) Nancy Densmore, and Sue Heffernan.

We too, need to be reminded that we, (the Body of Christ) are each given special gifts to be used for the building up of the Church (Christ's Body). By all the different parts of the body working together in a spirit of love we strive to seek the truth of Jesus Christ. Today we find more and more separation from the Body of Christ as groups or in- dividuals believe that they have found the better way of worship rather than believing in Jesus Christ and following His Way. He asked us to work together at building the kingdom not dividing it.

Harold Fletcher, playing his guitar, sang "Wherever I Am, God is". Rev. C.J. Williams, • from Ephesians 6:1-17, said that we have been commanded to use the whole armor of God spiritually. Some Christians will put on the helmet of salvation and take the sword of the Spirit, but forget the rest. Being a Christian is hard work, a battle, in God's army, to overcome evil. Putting on God's armor is a command. In our country's army soldiers do not argue when orders are given. In God's ar- my the children of God do not have the right to pick and choose on following the com- mands of God. Those who fall away do so because they fail- ed to obey God's orders. Because God knows the subtleties of satan, He has provided spiritual armor to protect His people. A disobe- dient soldier is courtmartial- ed, while a disobedient Chris- tian is punished. God has pro- vided His word to show us the protection He has provided for us to live for Him, obe- dient to Him. Sunday evening Rev. C.J. Williams from Ephesians 6 spoke on the armor -of God. The Christian life is a war against the enemy, the -devil and his demons. Satan does not back up because we are nice people. "Principalities" refer to highest order of the enemies, under the leadership of satan. "Powers" refer to forces of influence from the devil that can come,in subtle- ty to deceive people. "Armor of God" consists of several. pieces of spiritual armor. Upcoming events: Sunday, May 23, will be a water bap- tism service in the church.

Elwood Morden was in charge of • the morning worship and officiated at the Sacrament of Holy Com- munion. The title of Rev. Morden's sermon was "Not giving up soon enough". We should cease holding on when there is nothing to hold on to, let faith and let God take over. The steadfast mercies of the Lord are unending and they are renewed every morning. Moses had to let go and let Joshua take over the leadership of the Children of Israel, the farmer with the tares in his wheat had to let go and wait for the harvest to separate them. There are times in life when we are forced to let go, illness is a time, when we are dependent on others, retirement is a time, death is the hardest of all said the minister the time when we should be able to say "I have fought the fight, I have run the race, and i have kept the faith". Let go, and let God take over your life. At St. Thomas Anglican Church the Rector Rev. Greg Smith conducted the mor- ning prayer service and took the theme for his sermon from the second Lesson from Luke 24:36-49 this was read by Jim Hodgins. Rev. Smith spoke on the Resurrection, saying after the Resurrection. Jesus said we are witnesses so let us go forward and live and die Smiles A pessimist is a guy who sizes himself up and gets sore about it. z $ The trouble with burning the candle at both ends is that you always get caught in the middle. • You're getting old when the . gleam in your eye is from the sun hitting your bifocals. * • The priest who passes the potato chips in the monastery is known as a chipmunk. perfectly.
