Brewster spoke from Exodus 3: 11-12. He shared how when we we are going through hard times we can have assurance that we are not alone. As God spoke to Moses saying "Certainly I will be with you" so He is with us today. Like Moses we are prone to fear, but God gives us His word and faith to drive out fear and bring victory. God's name 'I Am', He told to Moses, is still the same today. as it means He is all we need. To illustrate this. Rev. Brewster read Psalm 93. Rick Rose, from Christianview Bible College Ailsa Craig, led the singing for the evening service. Loys Melanson played her guitar while she sang "We Sing Hallelujah." Alfred Pedde ministered. singing " We Call on Him." and played his guitar. Rev. Ray Brewster spoke from Psalm 81. He talked of how when one gets a machine one gets an owner's manual on how to operate it. which one is to read. Our Bible is the Christian's "owner's manual". We need to read it to learn how to live as Christians. Psalm 81 is such a direction on God's way to operate our lives with His help. It tells us of benefits we will have when we praise God, and live for Him November 14, 1979 Pogo 7 Small crowd to remember Only a small handful gathered at the Ailsa Craig Legion Saturday morning for the Remembrance Day Services.

"Even though many may feel this is impossible in today's world," he stated "we can catch the vision of peace as did the psalmists of the old: 'The world shall be full of the knowledge of God as the waters cover the sea "Although death in war seems final and futile, the things death cannot take away from those who died are the things they strived and died for", he continued.
