Times-Advocate, 1982-11-24, Page 12i Times-Advacote. November 24,1982 ce of Centralia Courses Rural people in this area wig have some interesting courses to choose from the winter. Centralia College of Agricultural Technology has released its brochure describ- ing Winter programs. "There's more courses than last year" said Don Cameron, Head of Continuing Education at Centralia. "We think its an interesting program and I'm sure area farmers will take advantage of these courses." Most of the courses are call= ed "longer training pro- grams" and they are at least 30 hours in length. Many are held in the evenings and all are free of charge. "Funding assistance from Canada Employment and Immigra- tion Commission makes this possible" Cameron said. Fourteen of the twenty-two longer programs will be held in off -campus locations: Five swine management programs will be held in centres ranging from Atwood and Belmore to St. Jacobs and then Stratford and Parkhill. "This gives us a swine program accessible to a lot of diffeerrent producers in this part or the Province" Cameron stated. Also a Feeder Pig program will be held in St. Marys and some interesting crop pro- grams, a Crop Production. and Marketing course in At wood and Crop Pest Control in Sing new at United Preceding service at Lucan United Church Sunday. Larry Cruttenden led the congrega- tion in a time of hymn- singing. He taught them also several new Scripture choruses expressing praise and love to God. During this time, Ted and Sherry Lane, along with Matthew and Car- rie were at the door to greet friends as they arrived. Rev. Brown called the con- gregation to worship with the lighting of the first Advent candle - a symbol of Christ who came to be the Light of the world. A highlight of the service was the junior choir, whose' songs were beautiful and joyful. They were directed by Helen Stanley with the assistance of Flora Robertson at the piano. Another highlight was Dorothy Dedel's story for the boys and girls. Bill's adventure with his baby brother, high in the revolving restaurant, taught him that although Jesus always stays in the same place, it is easy for us to get so busy and interested in other things that we may move away from Him. We need to keep Him right in the centre of our lives. In sermon time, Mr. Brown carried on the theme of Jesus, the Light of the world. Jesus was making a,very signifi- cant claim when He said, "I am the Light of the World." I AM is the translation for the Hebrew name for God. Jehovah whom the Jews wor- shipped. He claimed that name as His own, and ex- pressed it in the present tense as a reminder that Ile is always present with his the. Boardroom of OMAF Huron in Clinton will be held. Also, to help area farmers with financial management, three courses will be held. These Financial Manage- ment courses feature area ac- countants and Ministry of Agriculture . and Food specialists. Courses will be held at OMAF Waterloo, in Seaforth and at OMAF Well- ington, Wellington Place bet- ween Fergus and Elora on County Road 18.. , "We also have some in- teresting on -campus' pro- 1 grams" Cameron emphasiz- ed. New this year is a course for Fruit and Vegetable pro- ducers. Also, a Young Swine Farmers Training Program featuring two weeks of classroom work and two • weeks of on-farm training has been developed. "This Swine program is very similar to the successful young dairy , farmer training program" said Cameron. "We have some one -day short courses planned as well". The annual "Farni In- come Tax Update" will be held again this year. A Beef Day is planned and a pro- gram on Trading In Com- modity Futures will be offered. If you would like more in - choruses Church followers. Jesus claimed to be the Light of the world, and through His life, that Light blazed forth revealing the beauty and attractiveness of the Kingdom of God. Yet . Jesus knew that the Light He brought was not ac- . ceptable to many of His own people. This negative attitude to Him is displayed by the Pharisees as they bring to Him a woman taken in adultery, with the aim of for- cing Him to pass a judgment on her that would incriminate Him either with the people or with the Romans. But Jesus handled the situatioq in such a way that His Light shone in- to the darkness of their proud hearts, and they left, conscience-stricken.

Islands study for UCW unit • The Friendship Unit of the UCW held their November meeting with Shirley Ryan leading the worship service using Christmas giving and how Advent is the time for better road -builders. She clos- ed with the poem "If Jesus Came to Your House" giving us many thoughts to ponder. Donna Van Arenthals presented the Study finishing off Faith and Jtj,stice, then in- troducing us to our new study of the South Pacific Islands which are made up of three groups - Micronesia, Melanesia and Polynesia. She illustrated by the means of a potted plant how the church in the South Pacific can be compared to it; having minimum growth and limited to North American ways. If the "pot" were taken away and let them draw nourishment from their own way of life, they would grow stronger. She also gave an interesting account on fire walking and how itis losing its originality because of the tourists. Its af- fects are being felt by their people. as it is becoming a business taking up much of their time and leaving little for crop farming. An invitation for tea at Crestwood on November 30 at 2 p.m.. was extended to our church. The general meeting will be held December 8 at 6:30 p.m. with a potluck supper. The Middlesex Women Teacher's Association, East Unit, held their annual ban- quet November 10 at St. George's Anglican Church in Thorndale. Approximately 50 teachers met together for this evening of fellowship. An excellent home -cooked meal prepared by the ladies of the church was followed by some lively singing led by Laurel Kenny, a presentation to Wilma McMartin, one of the retired teachers and a re- affirmation of the Federation pledge. Lastly, Dr. Vigna from Lon- don addressed the group on the topic of "The Family of the 80's," pointing out how the problems caused by stress to many families are affecting the children and placing a heavy burden on schools and teachers. The evening provided an opportunity to relax, renew old friendships and make new ones. Cancer Society, Middlesex Branch.

November 17 there were some trick skippers. I will tell you something they did in their demonstration. They would skip and jump. They wouldn't come down until the rope went around twice. They would swing the rope on one side then the other and jump through it. They showed us some tricks to try ourselves. Darren Mason - Room Eight.

T -A photo At Revival Centre Evolution, .creation theories The morning service was opened by William Davies in- viting the congregation to open their hearts to praise God in worship in chorus. Pastor Williams announced Christmas dinner to be held December 7. Also Mrs. E. Crouch would be finalizing her series on archeology with Theory of Evolution, Gap Theory in Genesis .and Is There a Missing Link? Pastor Williams asked the children to come forward and asked them about Daniel, prayed and dismissed them to Children's Church. Bruce Henry led the con- gregation in prayer. Loys Melanson sang a solo on her guitar, titled "I Now Am New." . The message was brought by William Davies beginning with 1 Peter 1:8 emphasizing "joy unspeakable and full of glory". He asked why some Christians' experience are no longer exemplifying this joy. We are the sum total of God's saving grace and the regeneration of the Holy Spirit. We do not have to be . bogged down with the sum total of crisis that hit the church today. Crisis today is an unhealthy spiritual direction - we can have either regression or pro- gression. Since both are mov- ing, it's very difficult to separate the two. Regression is going full tilt in the Wrong direction. Regression in our spiritual walk is a crisis in the' church today. When we are regressing we are not going God's way and will lack that blessing of God that gives this "joy unspeakable and full -of glory." Saul's biggest mistake was that he did not put Cod's word first. Saul didn't obey and held things back, which we do also. We hold things hack and do not commit all to God. It may only be one area only. God wants absolute total com- mitment. Saul held back. Then Saul lied when asked about his disobedience. Do we lie? Sometimes we say one thing with our mouths, but our lives say something else. We lie with our lives which is regressing. God wants obedience, not sacrifice. Saul tried to rewrite the rules by offering sacrifices to please God even though he deliberately disobeyed. If we don't want to live up to what God is saying to us in His word, we try to rewrite it to. suit ourselves. But t at is heresy. Rick Thornton led the ser- vice with choruses and hymns. Prayer requests were made known and Pastor Williams led congregation in prayer. Mrs. E. Crouch began her presentation on the Theories of Evolution and Creation by saying that God is not bothered by science sear- ching out answers to our beginning. Proven facts of science have not disagreed with God's written word. The Bible is not- a science book but archeology has often given confirmation of the Bible. The Bible doesn't need to be confirmed by ar- cheology as it is confirmed in our lives every day and pro- vided answers for the critics. Archeology gives us illumina- tions and enlightenment of God's word. Evolution has never been a proven fact of science and the theory of creation and the theory of evolution do not go together. We must decide which one we will believe. Mrs. Crouch stated since she can believe God's word on salvation, she has no doubt about accepting His word on Creation. Some scientists are now saying the earth and mankind may not be as old as evolution claims., Slides were shown making a comparison on the beliefs of the Evolution and Creation theories. Most missing link theories have proven to be a hoax and scientists have thrownthem out. She ended quoting a scrip- ture from Colossians ... "by Him were all things created."
