News from churches Sunday. Rev. Roger Mason asked the young people who witnessed through mime at the Lucan Fair to do their skits. First a girl planted "trees". going through all the tree planting motions, the trees being two other girls. First one tree. then the other. sprung up. Then winds. boys with wind cards, blew around the girl trees until one "tree" fell down. The tree planter gave the lesson that when a person accepts Christ as Saviour. he must build strong faith on Him. - Next one of the girls picked a "daisy". and picked off the petals, saying over and over. "He loves me." Two other girls disagreed, saying it was supposed to be "Ile loves me. he Loves me not." But the first girl staled it was "He loves me". because she knew Jesus loved her. Others disagreed. while first girl restated her belief. Finally the others agreed she was right. A group of boys demonstrated meaning of bondage. and source of sin was salon, who was taking them bound to hell. After discussion, all fainally agreed they did not believe in hell. These, along with other skits. were portrayed at the Lucan Fair. Vital Signs. a group from Youth With a Mission. sang Looking at the Future, following with The Pools of His eyes. They closed with Love Me Lord. Bruce Thomson, from YWAM, told of their trip to Costa Rica. where they performed a religious drama there for young people, then witnessed to them.

Ile said because we have read this, we assume we will be witnesses. But we all have a choice to witness or not. Every Christian has a choice to make on what he sloes for the Lord.

Roger Mason ministered Sun- day evening from Genesis 18:19. where God said Ile knew Abraham kept the way of the Lord. Abraham. father of many nations. was prophet. priest. and king in his own home.

Jesus', earthly father, is not often mentioned. even though he was God's carefully chosen and prepared servant for this task. Matthew's account of Jesus' birth reveals him as a just and compas- sionate person. a man of faith who received God's message and acted in obedience to it. He was a roan of the scriptures who found answers to his perplexity in God's Word. 4Through Jesus parables. we catch a glimpse of His home. and of a lov- ing and godly father whose influence was fell both by example and word.
