Children told not to be By MRS. WILLIAM ROHDE THAMES ROAD - Rev. Teddy Smits was in charge of the regular church service on Sunday morning. The choir sang Jesu, Jesu, accom- panied by the organist Miss Agnes Bray. In the children's story Rev. Smits talked about the cat's paw. A mon- key and a cat were sitting in front of an open firc.and somebody had put chestnuts on the fire to roast. The monkey could smell that -they were ready hut how could he get them out without burning his paws? He told the cat he had to help him, then took the cat's paw, asked him to grab the chestnuts quickly, and guided the cat's paw with his own. The cat's paw got badly burned while the monkey enjoyed the chestnuts. Thcrc arc tasks people don't, like to do, and so they try to use some- one else to be "the cat's paw". The scripture readings Acts 2:43- 47, Romans 14:1-12 were read by Jack Hodgcrt. In the sermon which had -as text Acts 2:44 "All the believers contin- ued together in close fellowship". Rev. Smits spoke about the virtues- of irtuesof the early church. It was a learn- ing church, where all adults were permanent students. Too often we come across Christians who gave up learning when they left Sunday: School at an early age. It was a church with a great fel- lowship. How often do we come into a church where no one speaks, and one leaves as a stranger? It was a church of great prayer. Where -people don't pray, they shut themselves off from the springs of life. Their spiritual life withers and even usually dics. 1t was a church of sharing. Flutter - "cat's paw"- itcs share in all their earthly gooua. In some churches people share in- events nevents of joy and of sorrow. They help each other where there is. a need, thus fulfilling the Laws of Christ. - Next Sunday June -5 at -11:15 a.m. we will observe the Lord's Supper. We hope to see many out including -the young people who joined the church recently. The June meeting of the United Church Women will be held Mon- day, Junc 6 at 8 p.m. 'Personals • We arc sorry to report that Don Richardson is a patient in Stratford General Hospital.

It was Canada's Fitness Week and the Stan -Lee -Club of Varna is partici- pating in the Moon Walk, all of them have kept track of their mile- age for the week. These results are sent into Fitness Canada to be added to mileage walked by other seniors across Canada • with hopes of enough miles to go to the Moon and Back! On arriving at Bannockburn they discovered that vandals had de- stroyed a large portion of the board- walk. This was very disappointing and made thcir walk and that of oth- ers who come to enjoy this beauti- ful nature trail very. difficult.

Grand Bend churches By Roberta Walker GRAND BEND - The Feast of Trinity Sunday was celebrated at all weekend masses by the pastor, Fa- ttier Paul Beck, at Immaculate Heart of Mary Church, Grand Bend.

The choir sang "Peace Is Flowing Like a Riv- er" and "The Spirit Is A Movin." at Communion. Walter and Madge Costello were the Eucharistic mini- sters: The theme of Father Beck's ser- mon was based upon the Trinity, _ and the.familiar words "In the Name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit, Amen." A person has many different func- tions during his or her lifetime, as a student, a teacher, a parent or priest. God works in different ways with us too, as our loving Father, the Creator; as Christ our Saviour and Redeemer, and as the Holy Spirit, our teacher. God, the Holy Trinity works in our lives wherever we go as His Christian people. Baptisms There were two infant baptisms in the afternoon, as Audri-Anne.
