Catholic News The pastor, Father Robert Mor- rissey, celebrated all masses this past week at Immaculate Heart of Mary Church in Grand Bend. Sunday mark- ed the Feast of the Triumph of the Cross. Denise Duchou was the reader at the 11 a.m. mass, with Lydia Duchou as cantor and choir leader. In his sermon, Father Morrissey asked how we could consider the Cross as a triumph, since to all ob- vious standards, Jesus lost; He lost His friends and ultimately His life: Christ's life on earth was a beautiful example of love in action, even to forgiving His enemies while dying on a cross. Christ developed His beautiful, loving character through the love of His parents, His friends, the love of God the Father, and most of all the love that He gave to others. We too must give love a chance for the cross itself is a symbol of the triumph of love, the ultimate gift of Christ. Congratulations go to Paul Costello, son of Walter and Madge Costello and to Deborah Nudyk, the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Daniel Nudyk, who were united in the sacrament of matrimony this past week.

Barnhart spoke from Joshua, discussing Rehab, the prostitute, who was sav- ed by helping Joshua and how the Israelites were able to capture the ci- ty of "Jericho. A general hymnsing followed. United Church Rev. Peebles continued his sermon topic of "The Straight Furrow" at the Grand Bend United Church this past Sunday. He reminded the people that as Christians they need to have their eyes fixed on Jesus Christ and the teaching of His word; to be totally committed to His service, in order to direct a straight furrow. Luke 9:62, states "Lord, I will follow you, but first let me say good- bye to my family". There are many areas in life that take precedence over decisions and distract us from following Christ. There are family pressures, personal ambitions, the in- fluence of our friends and peers, and the lure of status and material posses- sions. Christ replied, "Anyone who lts his hand to te plow and then ooks back is not fiitforr the Kingdom of God." Uwe look back, well be dis- qualified for God's service and will lack His blessing and peace. The scriptures were read by Doug Martin. The chair sang "Saviour Lead Me Day by Day". New flags were presented to the church and dedicated in the morning service. The Canadian flag was presented by the congregation as a memorial gift and the Christian flag by Jean Gibbs, in memory of her parents, the Verne Ridleys.
