She quoted from a book by Elisabeth Elliot who describ- ed a visit to the ancient Garden of Gethsemane and the Garden tomb and her attempt there to reconstruct the first Easter.

Good attendance at UC Easter service George and Linda Wilkinson with Tammy and Jennifer welcomed a large number of worshippers to the Easter service at Lucan United Church Sunday morning. The expand- ed choir, under Helen Stanley's direc- tion, added to the joyful spirit of the worship as they sang arrangements of "This Joyful Eastertide," and "Crown Him with Many Crowns". Linda Froats told the boys and girls about Doug and Pat whose Easter li- ly helped them understand that the story of Jesus' Resurrection is really true. Mr. Brown spoke about the Gospel beyond the Cross. The resur- rection demonstrates that evil was powerless to destroy Christ, and that not even death has power over Him. It reveals that suffering can be a pathway to glory for those who deny themselves and follow Christ wholeheartedly. It shows also that God's final word is to all who will ac- cept Christ's sacrifice as being for them, and who will allow Him to be Lord of their lives.

(ask disciples did not believe the women that Jesus had risen. While the disciples had fled, this group of ladies remained at the cross throughout the crucifixion. When they came early Sunday morning they saw the stone was rolled away from the tomb, with an angel announcing Jesus had risen. As the women ran from the tomb, Jesus met them, telling them not to be afraid. When the reality sank' in that Jesus was alive, the women and disciples had great joy and their whole attitude changed. Their accep- tance of Jesus' resurrection brought awe of the Lordship of Christ, with reverence and worship. The soldiers outside the tomb were frightened by the supernatural events of the resur- rection. These soldiers were guarding the tomb from anyone breaking the seal over the stone. But they were powerless to stop the angel rolling away the stone, and Christ rising, They left in fear to go the religious leaders to tell them what had happen- ed. They were concerned their sur- vival for failing in their duty, as they would have been killed by their com- mander. The religious leaders told them to say the disciples stole Jesus' body while they slept. The religious leaders would persuade the governor to spare the soldiers. The soldiers had only apathy towards Jesus. The religious leaders feared Jesus' prediction of His resurrection. They had the soldiers seal the tomb. When the soldiers told them what happen- ed, they knew Jesus had risen. Butt the hardness of their hearts and their rebelliousness caused them to per - suede the soldiers to spread the lie that the disciples had stolen Jesus' body. The implication is that since Jesus has risen from the dead, He really is Lord. Communion was serv- ed after the service. O.H.A. Intermediate C Semi Finals :. Fl" AT BIDDULPH - Brenda Whitehead waits to participate in Thursday's Easter assembly at Biddulph Central School. Lent Learning The fourth film in Charles Swin- doll's "Strengthening your Grip" series was shown Tuesday evening at Lucan United Church. Godliness was the theme. Dr. Swindell pointed that those constantly exposed to Christian influence need to watch that their faith does not become routine and lifeless. He pointed to God's ancient people who moved from a wrong heart attitude to outright rebellion, with tragic consequences. Wes and Helen Stanley were hosts for the evening, and Freeda Melanson and Jean Brown led the discussion groups which followed the film. Film 5, to be shown April 1, is en- titled "Attitudes: Choosing the Food you Serve your Mind". The final film will be shown April 8 with the theme "Authority: Hope for a Talk -Back, Fight -Back World." Everyone is welcome to attend these last two films. • f LUCAN LASERS WIN - The Lucan Lasers won the 'C' championship of the weekend South Huron ret -- hockey tournament.
