Rev. C.J. Williams spoke from 1 Peter 3:18. To be a Christian is to live etermally, but first one has to die to self. A Christian is either dead to sin, or alive to the flesh. Paul said in Philippians 1:21 that to die meant for him he would be with Christ. Unless we have a revelation from God, we have no idea of the glory of heaven. Romans 8:11 tells us when Christ's Spirit lives in tis He gives us life. Romans 6:6-12 tells us when our fleshly desires die, we die to sin. The spirit of God does not sin in us, it is the flesh that sins. We cannot be dead to the flesh, and full of bitterness and unforgiveness. When our fleshly desires are dead in Christ, we shall also live with Him. At the farewell service for Rev. C.J. Williams, Mrs. Becky Brewster, on leave from missionary work in Haiti, told of some of their work. They have 17 churches and 9 schools, and a clinic. They feed 1000 children a day. Because the adults are so hardened in the voodoo way they work .with the children with Bible teaching each day. Mr. Nello Romagndli played his violin, accom- panied by Miss Wendy Robertson on the piano, as they played Amazing Grace, dedicating it to Rev. Williams. Mr. Romagnoli then played his guitar as Miss Robertson sang His Beautiful Hands. Rev. Williams ministered from Isaiah 50:1-2, covering the Lord's hands. Verse 2 asks "Is God's Hand Shortened?". Verse 1 asks if we have cut ourselves away from God. We cannot produce a bill of divorcement from God until we are sold out to the enemy. God will follow us with His love everywhere. FROM THE ROMAN EMPIRE — The Roman Empire number at Sunday's Lucan figure skating carnival included Tara Forster, Kelly Williams, Jennifer Duskocy, Lisa Car- roll, Julie Riddell and Jennifer Corless. T -A photo Couples club attend film showing in Exeter Marguerite McRoberts presented the Study and Wor- ship Wednesday night at the Church during the March meeting of Lucan United Church Women's Friendship Unit. The Study was based on the theme, "Jesus, the Poor and Us", taken from the cur- rent study book, "Jesus Means Life". Jesus identified with the poor in His earthly life, and in our day the poor of the Third world identify with Him because He too suffered and died. The challenge comes to Christians today to minister to the poor as Jesus did. We need to be informed and con- cerned about Global Justice, and must be willing to adopt a simpler, less selfish life style. The theme of Justice for the Poor carried, through in- to the Worship service as group members participated in Scripture reading, hymns, responsibe reading and prayer. Group leader Donna Vanarenthals took charge of the business meeting. Plans were made for the Friendship Unit Luncheon to be held after the Church Service on April 18. Donna mentioned that mission study next year deals with Korea, marking the 100th anniversary of the Christian Church in that land: Members of Lucan United Church Couples' Club attend- ed a filth in Exeter Thursday evening as the special activi- ty of their March meeting. The film 'God In Hard Times", was the testimony of Dale Evans Rogers to the Lord's faithfulness and love to her through the difficult ex: periences of her life. Cduples in charge of the meeting, Don and Anna United Church "What Made Judas Act That Way?" was Mr. Brown's Lenten sermon theme Sunday morning at Lucan United Church. Although, like the other disciples, Judas had many faults, Jesus paxpressed confidence in hinfwhen He chose Judas to be one of His Special Twelve. The other disciples evidently trusted him too when they appointed him their treasurer. Moreover, Judas chose Jesus, leaving all that he had to be His follower. And yet he fail- ed by betraying his Lord and is remembered today only for that one act. "As Church people and friends of Jesus, we need to find out why Judas failed, for he stands as a warning to us all", said Mr. Brown. Judas failed because, in his heart, he remained hungry for money and the power that it gave him. Ile failed because he could not understand Christ's methods and so became disappointed in Ifim.Likewise, Christians to- day become impatient and ask, "Why doesn't God do something" when they face suffering of some sort. They forget the Cross and the fact that even Jesus learned pa- tience through suffering. Hurt pride was a third possible cause for Judas' failure. Rev. Brown pointed out that Judas' betrayal and Peter's denial of Christ are not real- ly too different. But though Peter repented and cam-' back to be an effective ser- vant of Christ, Judas did not, and as a result, life for him was no longer worth living. Elder Barb Bannerman read the Scriptures, and along with Dana, welcomed those who arrived for worship. Brad and Jan Coughlin assisted them in receiving the offering. Flora Robertson was at the organ and gave leader- ship to the Choir as they sang the lovely anthem of dedica- tion, "All My Tomorrows". Pam Wright told the children a story about Mrs Fisher who wouldn't forgive the children for spoiling her flowers, even when they said they were sorry. "God is not like that," said Pam. "When . we are sorry, God forgives us. His love never wears out." Following the story, Pam took the children out for Junior Congregation.
