Barb Coughlin led in an enjoyable pre -service hymn sing assisted by Marj Park at the piano. John and Sharon Mac- Donald with Jennifer, John R. and Stephen assisted at the door and during the offering. Elder Linda Froats read the Scripture and Sandy Munro was in charge of the large group of boys and girls who left during the service for Junior Congregation. "What does it mean to be a Christian?" was Mr. Brown's sermon theme. Each of the communicants had thought deeply about this subject, and he challenged older members to give it thought also. Being a Christian involves a New Identity. Justas Jesus' priority was to do His Father's will, so the Christian is called to accept the demands and discipline of Christ's Lordship in his life. Baptism and church membership is a visible sign of this commitment. A New Service is involved also in be- ing a Christian. A real Chris- tian deliberately involves himself in serving others for Christ's sake. Mr. Brown pointed out that only by the power of God's Spirit within us are any of these things possible. Flowers in the sanctuary were placed there by Mrs. Penny Thomson and family, in loving memory of George Thomson.

Photo by George Mawdsley and district news Susan Cook'': 225-27$0 Revival Centre news John Brooks was the song leader Sunday morning. Mrs. Judi Ross sang Sing Hosanna Sing, remembering Jesus' triumphant entry into Jerusalem on Palm Sunday. Rev. Roger Mason ministered from John 12:12-19. People record ac- counts of happenings in light of their own life experiences. The accounts of the Gospels differ accordingly. All record Jesus' triumphant entry into Jerusalme. In Luke a multitude of disciples welcomed Jesus. The people cried Hosanna, a Messianic term, giving public proclama- tion, saying to Jesus to save now, as the people felt Jesus was. about to deliver them from the bondage of Rome. Matthew 21:8 tells of people putting branches and garments on the road, as a sign of homage to Jesus. Wav- ing palm branches was a sign of welcoming royalty. The primary reason for having a king was to lead Israel suc- cessfully into battle as the military leader. The people's concept of the Messiah in Jesus' time was to help them overthrow Rome, and restore the Davidic kingdom's glory to Israel. The people who knew Jesus had resurrected Lazarus from the dead con- sidered Jesus to be the Messiah. Tony Laughrene acted as song leader for the Sunday evening service. He read 2 Peter 1:3-8. Rev. Roger Mason thanked Jesus for go- ing to the cross for him, Mrs. -A. Graham for playing the piano and Mr Laughrene for leading the singing. Rev. Mason spoke from Matthew 28:6, the words of the angel telling Mary Magdeline Jesus was risen. Instead of apologizing for believing the resurrection of Jesus, we need to realize that it is an historical fact. How do we explain that the Porpb is empty? The Jews paid the guards to say the disciples stole Jesus' body. Some say Jesus only swooned and revived in the cool tomb, somehow pushed away the very heavy stone to appear to His disciples. First fact for the empty tomb is the Roman scourge, a horrible punishment that often results in death. John 19 tells Pilate had Jesus scourg- ed to bring sympathy from the crowd. Scourging was limited by the Jews to 339 lashes with a leaded whip on the bare back. Naone who en- dured this torture could walk in 3 days. LEGION SPEAKING BEST — The winners in the recent Lucan Legion public speak- ing contest were Lori Lansink and Zara Zuponcic, St. Patrick's and Kyle Darling, Bid- dulph. At the back are Comrade Vern Finlayson and Jim Simpson. Two area accidents The two accidents in- vestigated this week by of- ficers of the Lucan detach- ment of the Ontario Provin- cial Police were caused by unusual circumstances. Tuesday at.S:2.5 p.m. a vehi- cle driven by Donal Rae, Wingham struck some bales of straw which had fallen from a vehicle operated by .Joanne Ennis, RR 1, Arva.

They discussed the use of con ditioners and other hair care products, as well as giving suggestions- about various hair and scalp problems. In a second interest group, Donna Vanarenthals, assisted by Ruthanne Curtis con- ducted a session on "The Ar- tistic Use of Scarves." Donna spoke about the history of scarf use, explained how to use the various shapes and amazed the women presented by her demonstration of many novel and attractive uses of scarves. Muriel Cobleigh and Iola Goring were in charge of the delicious snack served at cof- fee break. Jacqueline Pierce con- ducted the final Bible Study period on the theme, "Reach Out in the World." She raised the question, "How can I have Dollars do make difference 'Dollars donated to the Canadian Cancer Society do make a difference. A major breakthrough has been made by a research team at the Ontario Cancer Institute and their research was sponsored, in part, by funds raised ,by Canadian Cancer Society volunteers. For over 20 years, scientists around the world have been trying to figure out what mechanism organizes the body's defenses against the disease. In March it was revealed that a group of eight scientists at the Ontario Cancer In- stitute, involved id' im- munological research, had identified and cloned an information -carrying gene which produces a "receptor" protein in the surface of cells called "T lymphocyte." This protein helps the body's "T cell" im- munological system to distinguish body cells from alien cells (they are called 'killer T-cells') and to reject an intruder. The immune system is an important defence against major diseases such as ar- thritis and cancer. The gene has already been used at the Ontario Cancer In- stitute to distinguish leukemia of T-cells from other blood cancers. "We have found an en- trance to a maze, and ....hun- dreds, if not thousands of scientists around the world will use that entrance to find out what the maze is made of," said Dr. Tak Mak, a biochemist, who, along with postdoctoral fellow Yusuke Yanagi, led the research team who made the discovery. anything meaningful to con- tribute to the world?" Thoughts that emerged from the session included the fact of our selfish natures as the root of so many world pro- blems; the new inner life of love available to us through Christ's death; God's suffi- ciency no matter what the problem and our need to act together in the unity Christ gives. "There is only one way to peace in the world," said Jac- queline, "and that is to go through the Cross of Jesus." She concluded the session as she shared some of her own experiences and read a poem she had written expressing love and commitment to Christ. President Mabel Frosts ex- pressed the sincere apprecia- tion of the group to Mrs. Pierce and to all who assisted in this year's program, Lear- ning for Lent Committee members this year were Ruthanne Curtis, Mabel Froats, Marion Lee, Shirley Ryan, and Donna Vanaren- thals. They deserve great credit for a job well done. Ap- preciation is also due to Deb- by Kennedy and others who helped with Child Care. United Church Women Lucan United Church Women held their general Easter Thankoffering meeting Wednesday evening in the C.E. wing of the church. Bernice Lockyer, assisted by Alice Thompson, opened the meeting with a worship ser- vice of readings, hymns and prayers dealing with the mis- sion of Christian women in the world. Flora Robertson in- troduced a skit she and group members had written, based on the UCW purpose. A group of United Church Women involved in a quilt project are visited by a new community member, Sue Barr, who asks questions about the purpose of the group. Freeda Melanson, Donna Vanarenthals. Susan Rees and Shirley Ryan each explained one part of the four- fold purpose of the group, con- vincing Sue of the value of membership. President Mabel Froats chaired the business meeting. She thanked all who assisted with this year's Learning for Lent program and informed the group that 49 women had registered for this year's ses- sion. Mabel showed the group the Memorial Plaque now ready to be hung in the church. Tabatha Froats is responsible for the beautiful l lettering. Some discussion followed regarding the hot beef supper to be held at the Lucan Arena on May 10. The UCW Regional Rally was announc- ed for May 3 at Brinsley Church. Mrs. Val Hodgins is to speak on "The Asian Con- nection" and the Lucan group is responsible for the worship service. Flora Robertson re- quested mothers, daughters, grandmothers and grand- daughters to assist with a special Mother's Day choir May 13. Thank offering envelopes were available at the meeting for contributions to transportation costs of a team of Korean Christian women who are visiting Cana- dian churches in 1984. The evening closed with a social time and a delicious lunch served by Donna Vanarenthals and Marguerite McRoberts. „ Farmers Book Now To have your spring grain and beans custom cleaned on YOUR farm.
