Times-Advocate, 1983-10-19, Page 10Page 10 • Times -Advocate, October 19, 1983 Seniors watch films, Thursday Members of the Lucan Sun- shine and Busy Buddies groups met Thursday after- noon in the Clubrooms for cards and crafts. Ed Dowdall, president welcomed all the members and chaired the business meeting. It was announced that all tickets are gone for the Christmas production of the Geritel Follies in Hamilton, so the Clubs will have to wait for the Spring Show. Tomorrow, Thursday, two films will be shown by Verna Ibbitson, "Family Fair," the Calgary Stampede and Ex- position, and "The Land Bet- ween", inland B.C. All seniors are welcome to come and see the films whether or not they are members. A letter was read from The Villa inviting seniors to visit and see the new accommoda- tion on the ground floor. Hav- ing ground floor bedrooms will, no doubt, bring more residents to The Villa. Card convener for the day was Adrian Bax and winners News from Revival Centre Sunday morning Rev. C. J. Williams spoke from Revela- tions 21:1-2, and Daniel 2:10-30. Many people believe in God, but do not always have the faith to believe that God will do what He says. When the king in Daniel demanded the wise men to tell his dream, and the mean- ing of it, none of his wise men could. The king sentenced them to die. But Daniel believed God. God showed Daniel the dream, sparing his life. We need to believe with con- fidence in God, as God cannot do for us until we do believe. It is not the reading of the word, or circumstances, but the God within us in whom we believe. When you get into im- possible situations it matters who you believe in. Sunday evening was Mis- sion Sunday, with the Chris- tianview Bible College students taking part. Nello Romagnoli told how when he was away from God, he heard sung Coming Home at a.ser- vice, which brought him back to Serve the Lord. He !hal played Coming Home; on his violin, while Wendy Robert- son sang it while playing the piano. Robert Becker accom- panied the piano playing his guitar for the service. They then played Sweet hour of Prayer. Rev. C. J. Williams stress ed the theme of missions cen- tres around the truth that Jesus Christ is the Son of God. We thus have a message to share to those who have not heard, from people living on our street, to those in.foreign lands. Should we be called . be a missionary. our message would have to centre around the Lord Jesus Christ, the resurrected Son of God'. Wherever the name of Jesus is preached comes love, and deliverance of spirit, soul and body. Mrs. Marlene Thornton joyfully sang 1 Believe He's ('oming Back Like He said, at the close of the service BOOKKEEPING TAX FILING Geo. & Lois Eizenga R.R. 5 Forint NON 1J0 Telephone: 873-4915 (formerly Lucan) were as tollows: lady's high, Gertrude Hodgins; lone hands, Gladys Atkinson; low score, Angeline Scott; man's high, Jean Miller, lone hands, Rose Atkinson; low score, Alice Hodgson, allplaying men's cards.

Council news At a recent meeting of Lucan village council reeve Norm Steeper suggested planning hoard should look in- to zoning bylaws concerning home occupation. On a similarily related sub- ject deputy -reeve Harry Wraith indicated the installa- tion of television satellite dishes should be considered when property standard bylaws are studied. councillor Tom England asked for direction in connec- tion with the problem of wild animals causing concern to local residents. Council agreed to amend the village's policy statement to allow the animal control of- ficer to act if an animal ap- pears to be in a sick condition and could he endangering village residents. Reeve Steeper also sug- gested the clarification of pro- cedures for ratepayers to follow who wish to file com- plaints against other village residents. In this instance legal action through the courts can only be taken when a plaintiff is willing to sign a formal complaint and attend court. Steeper recommended council update the water ser- vices agreement which sup- plies village water to outlying township homes. The contract for construc- tion of the Whitefield drain was let to G.W.

New Church development in new subdivisions and towns, and among ethnic groups and native people is one area of need. A second is church redevelopment to meet the challenge of opula- tion changes requiring new forms of ministry. Thirdly, there is a need to update the pre -1955 Pension Fund and so fulfill promises of post- retirement support for mis- sionaries, ministers and other church workers who are now retired.
