Most of the fabric in the Tops and Trends Line is interlock knit, or linen with some fleece sportswear in delec- table colors like sandcastle yellow, sunrise orange, surfboard pink, divers mauve, windsurfer blue, snorkel jade, .and of course, white. Sounds like a rainbow of hues for Grand Bend's Sandcastle Days in the summer!

The models strolled around in a variety of tops, from tank style, polo shirt, capped sleeves, to " roomy, dolman sleaved pullovers, matched to flared skirts, softy draped pants, and lovely full skirted dresses with a drop- ped yoke. Most of the outfits in this line feature elasticized waists.

All in all, a very successful night, the only downer being the poor weather with slippery roads to drive home! Church of God Sunday morning worshippers at the Church of God were called to prayer with the words of Isaiah 55:6,7 "Seek the Lord while He may be found". The responsive reading was led by George Winegarden. In the pastoral prayer, Rev. Desjardine prayed for those in the congregation who are ill, and for the needs of the church around the world. The special number chosen by Phyllis Desjardine and Janet Desjar- dine as their duet was "i Have Found a Friend in Jesus." The pastor's message was taken from the last few verses of Colossians 4 where St. Paul mentions the names of several people who provided a sup- port system for him while he was in prison. As St. Paul encouraged the church to accept those people in fellowship, we are also reminded to welcome everyone into the fellowship of our church. Paul finished his letter by asking them to remember his chains, that bound him for sake of the gospel. The evening service was led by Lucille Vincent. Jennie Bumstead played a flute solo, "He Touched Me". Pastor Desjardine spoke from Mat- thew 21 the parable of the tenants. Jesus told his story to show that the people of Israel had refused to believe the prophets God had sent, and so had rejected God's only Son, Jesus Himself. Because of this, _Israel had relinquished their rights to be sole heirs to the kingdom of God. The church is continuing to collect donations as a memorial for Rev. Ed- win Wattam, who pastored the church for 23 years. "Welcome back" to Grace and Keith Ilorner from their vacation in lakeland, Florida. The women of the Church of God will meet Thursday, April 9 at 8 p.m. Remember to attend the Easter Ecumenical service, which will be held on Wednesday, April 15 at 8 p.m. with Mrs. Evelyn Krueger as guest speaker.
