Learning for Lent Wednesday morning's ses- sion of Learning for Lent at Lucan United Church featured two interest group. 'Mrs. Helga Kress demonstrated "Quilling Spring Flowers", and assisted participants to make attractive plaques using this craft. Also during this first period, Dr. Lloyd Hall gave an "In- troduction, to Computers" to his group. outlining the various means of input and output, and explaining as simply as possible the way a home computer works. He mentioned some of the uses of computers in our modern world, and pointed out the great potential of this inven- tion for accomplishing huge amounts of work. Shirley Ryan and Gladys Hall were in charge of pro- viding coffee and muffins for break time. Jacqueline Pierce introduc- ed the Bible Study hour as she led the women in singing two hymns which she had written. "Reach out in Canada"was the theme of the study. Jac- queline reminded those pre- sent of some of the privileges and blessings we have as Canadians, pointing out that the great variety of ethnic groups in our land interweave to give strength and beauty to our nation. She recommended prayer for our leaders as a priority. The women then divided into groups for Bible Study discus- sion on topics relevant to the theme for the day. To close the session, the women came together to share their fin- dings. The need for personal commitment to Christ, and the certainty of God's faithfulness were two truths that stood out during this sharing time. The final session for 1984 is scheduled for Wednesday April 11. Again there is a choice between two interest groups. Sharon Newman and Judy Darling will make a presentation on "Hair Care", and Donna Vanarenthals will demonstrate `:The Artistic Use of Scarves".

All women of the community are cordially invited to share in this last session. Revival Centre Sunday morning Mr Nello Romagnoli played his violin, while Miss Wendy Robertson played the piano, as they sang "Help me Hold Tightly". Douglas and Martha Butler then sang "He's More Wonderful". Dr. G.H. Nunn read Genesis 22:1-14, the story of God asking Abraham to offer his son Isaac to Him, as they worshipped. There are many ceremonies we go through that God does not consider worship. In Jesus' day the church was wrapped up in ceremonial worship. In John 14 Jesus said wor- shippingGod must be in spirit and in truth. God is of tremen- dous diversity, in nature, and in the work of the Holy Spirit. Just because one method worked once does not mean it will work when done the same way again. Unless we leave ourselves open to the moving of God's Spirit we are limiting God. Christianview Bible College choir harmoniously sang Sun- day evening. Ably conducted Dr. G.H.Nunn, accompanied by Mrs. Huth Nunn playing the piano, and Mr. Nello Romagnoli playing his violin, they sang "Sweet Jesus"and"Marching On". Dr. Nunn taught a new chorus "God Hears and Answers our Prayers". After reading Hebrews 11:29-40, the faith chapter, Dr. Nunn said to look at the list of ac- complishments the Old Testa- ment heroes did through faith in God. Some Christians have so many spiritual excercises to get faith, but Galatians 5:6 says faith works by love. If you give yourself to God's word, you will find faith. Then the greater the relationship with God builds on a founda- tion of love, the greater faith grows. Great faith can be con- quering faith, the kind that goes into action and sees results from God. Upcoming events- Friday April 27 at 8 p.m., will be the graduations excercises for students of Christianview Bi- ble College, in Lucan Revival Centre. Guest speaker is to be Bishop Leon Stewart, of Pentecostal Holiness Interna- tional. Bishop Stewart will also preside over the quarter- ly conference April 28 of On- tarion Pentecostal Holiness Church, then be guest speaker both services Sunday April 29.
