Explorer news
On November 24 the

leader Miss Vicki Bakker
were invited to an evening
rally at Wellington Street
United Church, London.

Church Bazaar
In spite of the weather,
which made the roads
treacherous, the annual
bazaar and tea, sponsored by
the A.C.W. of St. Thomas
Church on Saturday af-
ternoon, proved a success.
At the United Church Rev.
Elwood Morden was in
charge of the worship for the
first Sunday in Advent, and
took the text for his sermon
from John 7-28 and used the
theme Why did Jesus Come?
Jesus came to serve God and
give the world new hope, an
ideal and a purpose and to
reveal to mankind that in
their suffering He cares and
understands.
If we are brought nearer to
Christ, said Rev. Morden we
shall get an understanding of
Why Jesus came.
Candle lighting
ceremony
Preceding the lighting of
the first candle in the advent
wreath by Paul Wright,
denoting forgiveness, the
senior class of the Sunday
School with their teacher
Douglas Brown, decorated a
Christmas tree at the front of
the church. The first
decoration to go on the tree,
was a "Gold chain of Love"
each link containing the
name of someone who came
to church that morning
followed by ornaments of
Christian symbols made of
styrofoam, the meaning of
each one, was explained to
the congregation as it was
hung on the tree.
Service withdrawn
at St. Thomas
There was no service at St.
Thomas Anglican Church on
Sunday morning. This was
owing to a visit of the Rt.
Rev. M.C. Robinson Suf-
fragan Bishop of the Huron
Diocese, who officiated at
the service of morning
prayer at St. Paul's Church,
Kirkton.
