Times-Advocate, 1982-08-18, Page 13United Church hymn sing A good number gathered before Sunday morning wor- ship at Lucan United Church to enjoy a lively hymn sing led by Iva Hodgins and assisted by Marj Park at the piano. Wayne Gibson was Di hand to welcome friends At the door, and Henry Kaune added greatly to the worship- ful spirit of the service with his solo. "Great God, we sing your mighty hand". Rev. Brown continued his summer series on the Psalms. A Sunday School child caught the true message of Psalm 23 when he mis- quoted verse one by saying, "The Lord's my Shepherd. That's all I want". Said Mr. Brown, "The whole Bible gives this message that Christ is sufficient for every need". He then proceeded to show from the Psalm that the Lord is sufficient for our need in every area of our life. Our physical, emotional spirtual. moral and social life are all mentioned in this psalm as areas 'where the Lord generously supplies our needs. Flowers in the church were from the funeral of the late Ward Ellyatt and the sym- pathy of the congregation was extended to his family. Mr. Brown announced that word was received this week of the safe arrival of the boxes for the suffering "Church in the Bush" in Angola. Next Sun- day Janie and Jim Robertson will conduct services at Lucan and Clandeboye while Mr. Brown is away.

The sun shone Revival Centre Sunday morning Rev. C.J. Williams spoke of the need for Christians to understand what the Holy Spirit means. Eph. 3:13-19, and, 4:29-32, and 5:17-18 stress the importance of the doctrine of the Holy Spirit bringing us into a deeper experience and revelation of God. Itis human nature to resist moving into the fullness of God. It is only by the moving of the Holy Spirit do people come to Him. Satan blinds people to the need of the Holy Sp' 't's ministry. What makes pepple to be Holy Spirit filled in • any denomination is yielding to God. Tongues are about the least important of the ministries of the Holy Spirit, but the most attacked. Galations 1:7-9 says if anyone preaches any other gospel than what is in God's word let him be accursed. Sunday evening Doug Butler and Martha Sullivan sang "It's Been Worth Having the Lord in my Life," and "Jesus Means all the World to Me". Rev. C.J. Williams com- pared the similarity of the need of the world today to the need of world in Babylonian times to know God. Romans 1:18-21 tells that men do not glorify God or thank Him. If people knew the Hell loose in this world, every seat in churches would be filled wanting to hear the message to dispel the darkness of unbelief. In John 14:6 Jesus says "I am the way, the truth and the life".
