Times-Advocate, 1987-02-04, Page 11Revival Centre Rev. Roger Mason conducted the Sunday morning service. Bruce Thomson told that Youth With a Mis- sion has existed for 25 years, as an in- terdenominational group of Christian young people who go to over 90 coun- tries around the world. Before they go they are trained in evangelism, and the arts, including music and drama. Mr. Thomson gave a slide presen- tation of the work Youth With a -Mis- sion does. Their Canadian head- quarters is in Cambridge, an inten- sive training centre. There is a university in Hawaii. These trained groups of young people minister the gospel in churches. schools, parks, and on the streets: They use music. drama, mime, and dance to illustrate the gospel. Their presentation of the drama of Toymaker and Son repeiv- ed an award for excellence in drama. Accompanied by MI. Larry McGill. playing the piano, M . 'hornson sang I Owe It All to Jesus. Mr. 'Thomson ministered from John 21:15-22. Ile stated so often we look at all the talent we have, expecting people to look at us. But we need to realize God can give this talent to others. Then we can lose the pride of "look -at me". In this scripture Peter was told to follow Jesus, not in any specific area. But God can -lead a person into a cer- lain area of ministry. Instead of look- ing at others. Jesus says to. follow Him. Jesus made it clearto Peter not to look at another person's work. but to follow Him. Jesus told Peter three times his mission was to feed His sheep, :Jesus' followers. Christians need to know who they are following and not to be taken in by every whim of man's ideas or doctrine. Sunday evening Rev. Roger Mason was in charge of the service. .Rev.. Mason spoke from Mark 2:13-17. where Jesus called Matthew, i Levi to follow Him. At the supper Matthew had, sinners were present that offend- ed the scribes and Pharisees. Salvation often comes to the most unlikely. Levi was one of the most unlikely people to be called. Tax col- lectors were not in good report then as they worked for the Roman government. They.were corrupt from over-taxing,-and-eonsidered-traito by the Jews. While he was sitting in his tax of- fice. Jesus came up to Levi, asking him to follow Him. Jesus went to out- casts and common people to call them to be His followers. In churches._ the members often overlook calling the ungodly to come to know Jesus. Salvation often comes in multiples. Shortly after Levi gave up his tax col- lector job, he held a dinner party for his friends, with Jesus and His disciples. Because Levi had accepted Jesus, he led several of his friends to follow Jesus. These Jews were sin- ners-according--to-the Pharisees:- • Pharisees lived according to their strict laws.

The men of the congregation were in charge of the meal and did a super job. There were over a hundred attend --- ed the dinner with 70 adults staying for the meeting while the children were entertained with videos in the auditorium. A presentation was made by Rev. Darrel Shaule to Bob Murray in ap- preciation of his faithful service as a board member for 40 years. 26 of those years as clerk of the session. . A good meeting was held with ex- cellent reports for 1986 and a great start for the 125th anniversary year of Lucan United Church. . "Thy name is Love" Dorothy Mur- ray "Said it with F'lower's" - beautiful yellow mums. decorating the altar for • our first communion of 'the new year at the Lucan United Church. Greater Love has no man; Jesus gave the ultimate in terms of "love" His life for ours. - The text for Rev. Darrell Shaule's sermon was taken from Isaiah 43:18. "Behold I will do something new and the prelude to the Lord's Supper read by Mabel Froats from Luke 22:7-20. Rev.-Shaule drew up a mental pic- ture of sheep. A beautiful pastoral scene. sheep grazing on a green hillside. white. fluffy pure. benign and peaceful and then perhaps a more realistic version; -sheep who are stub - horn. dirty,,. disease ridden. stubborn and easy prey for preditors. Hopeless without a shepherd. We are shown to be as complex as these sheep. We do our own thing, live - .our own way and the weight of our pasts lay heavy on us. God is not a God of the past but of the future of "new things". In olden days the Jews owed their lives to the blood sprinkl- ed on the door frames. to save them from certain death. We. may not have that particular heritage but God has "done somethingnew._by_sornpictely coyer- ing our past sins with Itis death on the cross. Jesus was called the Lamb of God and the blood of that small sheep saves us even now. The- children's story was given by Beth Cowdrey. It was a discussion between two small boys concerning household chores. One boy did his willingly, but the other thought of ways of wasting time and thus getting out of doing them •altogether. Hard workers cheerful and diligent was the example Jesus left us. To waste time is as offensive to God as any other precious resource. Only God knows how much or how little we really have. Sunday February 15, several members of this church will be renewing their wedding vows. Some will appear in traditional outfits especially altered for the occasion. Do plan to attend. Dorcas Unit meets Members of the Dorcas Unit of Lucan United Church were welcom- ed to the first meeting lot ttte New Year by Unit leader Mrs. Ruthann Curtis. Plans were made for the year for program worship and lunch. It was . decided to have a safe of baked goods. sewing or plants at the May meeting. We began a Bible study on Eve, a woman who believed God. Theme of the worship conducted by Mabel F'roats, was "your treasure". Readings were taken from the dai- ly devotional booklet. "The Upper Room: Scriptures on treasures were i read by Elmora Reycraft and Bernice Lockyer who also led in prayer. Everyone brought an apron to wear and we had a parade. Prize for the prettiest apron went to Ruthann Cur tis. and for the most unusual apr'n to be worn over slacks Bernice Lockyer. Prizes were tiny aprons to dress up their detergent bottles. • At the next meeting February24 we will continue the study of Eve and also have a playlet commemorating the 100th anniversary of the Day of Prayer which this year falls on Fri- day.
