Times Advocate, 1984-08-08, Page 11Barbecue success at Granton church At Granton United Church the Rev. Bruce Pierce was in charge of the Sunday morning worship and entitled his measage "How Can We Know God?" First of all let us try to understand what God is like. God is Almighty and we are morally weak. God told Moses to tell the children of Israel, "The God of Abraham and the God of Isaac and Jacob" had sent him to take the Israelites out of bondage. Personals Mr. and Mrs. Robert Har- die celebrated their 50th wed- ding anniversary on Sunday August 5. An open house was held in the Masonic Hall from 2-4 p.m. when some 270 people offered their congratulations. Later a family dinner was held in the United Church. Guests were present from Detroit, Dallas, Texas, Wayne Michigan, Sault Ste. Marie, Dundas, Sauble Beach and many other points in Ontario. Sincere sympathy is ex- tended to the family of the late Mrs. Michael Taziar (Josie MacDonald) of RR 1 Granton who passed away at St. Joseph's Hospital, London on Wednesday August 1. al► Ml$. 1. SUMMON A successful beef barbecue sponsored by ' St. Thomas' Anglican Church was held in 'the Granton Community Park on July 25. Over 400 tickets were sold. Combined Lucan United Church join- ed with Clandeboye congrega- tion Sunday to continue a series of joint summer ser- vices. These services are be- ing held at 10 a.m. each Sun-' day throughout August at Clandeboye United Church with Rev. Brown in charge. Brown took his text from the Book of Proverbs, "The Fear of the Lord is the begin- ning of knowledge, but fools despise wisdom." He pointed out that the knowledge spoken of in this verse is based on God as the source of all things. Such knowledge is essential if life around us is to make sense, and if we are to come to saving faith in Christ. But this knowledge, if it is to be of value in our lives, must lead to a relationship with God. This happens as we come to Him open and trusting, in a spirit of repen- tance, and with the deter- mination to live daily a life of personal trust and commit- ment to Him. Not all respond in this way to God. Some repress and re- ject His truth. Scripture calls them "fools" and points out that God's way of dealing with them is to "give them up" to their own evil ways. GRADUATES - Ken and Rita Moor are very proud to announce the gradua- tion of their daughter Pamela Ann at the June 2, 1984 Convocation from the Faculty of Education, University of Windsor, with the Degree, Bachelor of Education.

Three of 44 -applicants were from Lucas in the Middlesex County -Trois Rivieres Ex- change, Paula Hodgins, ('aroline Shumba and myself. The trip itself consisted of a 12 hour busride from Med- way High School to Polyvalente St. Ursules in Trois-Rivieres. Quebec. All 44 of the exchange students ner- vously anticipated the mo- ment when, at last, we would meet our twins. Many day trips were taken to show us more of the beautiful province we were visiting. These trips included Quebec City. La Ronde, Mon- treal, an amusement park, and parc Mauricie. July 16 we returned home and on July 19 our twins arriv- ed in Arva. Some of our ac- tivities in Ontario consisted of a day spent in London, Canada's Wonderland and Marineland. .luly 31 there were mixed emotions alt our twins got on the bus to leave for Quebec. 1 would recommend the ex- change program to anyone who would enjoy the challenge of speaking a se- cond language, meeting new people and visiting new places. Ailsa Craig By ALICE DICKENS A group of adults boarded an air-conditioned mini bus on Tuesday morning. The first stop was at the famous Aylmer market. From here the group dined in downtown Aylmer, after which they en- joyed a stroll through the pretty park in St. Thomas. All went on a shopping spree in St. Thomas before returning home with Reuben Gingerich as the chauffer. This was another pleasant outing convened by the Craigwiel Activity Centre committee.

For Scout -Guide building Times -Advocate, August 8, 1984 Page 11 Oovornor.Oonera 1 invited to opening The village of Lucan has issued an invitation to Canada's Governor General Jean Sauve to attend the of- ficial opening of the new Scouts -Girl Guides building which is now under construction. A tentative date has been set for the official ceremony for October 6. Reeve Norm Steeper in an- nouncing the invitation to the Governor General said, "It's rather an unique situation we have here with the Boy Scouts of Canada, the village and the feder.,l government combin- ing on the project." In 'Tuesday's regular Revival Centre Sunday morning Mrs. Carole Butler acted as pianist, while Mrs. Judi Ross led the song service. They taught a new song from Daniel 2:20, Blessed be the Name of God. To enable the Sunday School workers to partake of communion, the ordinance of communion was served after the song worship ime,T1,11 service. Rev. Roger Mason r ministered from Isaiah 53:4-5, the sufferings of Jesus Christ on the cross. These verses say He bore our grief and sor- rows; His punishment was for our peace; and He was wounded for our transgressions. We receive seven benefits from Jesus' sufferings on the cross. We receive physical healing for our sicknesses because Jesus took them on Himself. Second benefit is inner heal- ing, for the mind and emo- tions. Also Jesus bore the judgement of our sins on the cross. Another is the reconcilia- tion to God when Jesus was pierced for our transgressions and rebellion. Jesus died so we could again become a friend with God, living for Him. Sunday evening Mrs. Carole Butler played the piano while she and Mrs. Judi Ross led in singing Blessed be the Name of God. Mr. Leonard Evans, guest speaker, from Houston, Texas, and Great is Thy Faithfulness, before speak- ing. Mr. Evans said it is as we humble ourselves and wor- ship God that we draw near to God. Christians need to get back what is rightfully ours, our Christian inheritance of peo- ple coming to God. God looks after His own, but if we don't belong to Him, we can't ex- pect His care. Because of care for us, Christians should be worshipping God. In Romans 8:14 we learn we are children of God, when we are led by His Spirit. When we worship God He gives us wisdom in living our lives. and district news Susan Cook 227-4911 Five vehicles involved in Highway 7 accident One of the four accidents in- vestigated this week by of- ficers of the Lucan detach- ment of the Ontario Provin- cial Police involved five vehicles.

We belong to God. It is important to spend time with God so we can fit iti with God's people. Hebrews 13:15 stresses to of- fer sack itiee of praise to God continually. Psalm 103 is a psalm of praise to God. Instead of let- ting our bodies do their desires, we sacrifice in offer- ing praise to God. Because Christians will spend eternity in praising God, we need to• spend time worshipping God here. Upcoming events - August 10 at 7:30 p.m., College and Career Fellowship will hold a corn roast at David and Judi Ross' farm. August 20-21 is Kids Cam - pout '84, at David and Judi Ross' farm. Family Night is going to be held at the farm August 21. Lucan Revival Centre Auxiliary The Women's Auxiliary met Wednesday evening in Graham Chapel, of Lucan Revival Centre. President Mrs. Nola Murray led a discussion on counteracting the destructive forces of anx- iety, worry and fear,, from Philippians 4:6-7, and Mat- thew 11:28. While Mrs. Carole Butler played the piano, Mrs. Judi Ross led in chorus singing. Mrs. Debbi Sanders, as guest speaker, spoke about spiritual clothing, from Ezekial 16:8-12. Belpre anyone can put on clean spiritual clothes, one has to go to Isaiah 12:3 to find the water of the joy of salvation. Once a person has been washed by the living water from Jesus Christ, as in John 7:37, God puts on him the robe of righteousness, the garment of praise, and the fine linen of the Holy Spirit, with a meek and quiet spirit. The jewellery is the gifts of the Holy Spirit. Then the Christian needs the armor of God to live a Christian life. Finally God gives the Chris- tian a crown of life. WAYNE W.P. DONEY, D.D.S.
