October 30th at 7:30 at Coldstream Hall to which United Church Communion Lucan United Church celebrated the Lord's Supper at their service Sunday mor- ning. Mr. Brown reminded the congregation that the Communion service is a time of thanksgiving for Christ's sacrifice for us " Thanksgiv- ing precedes power.' he said. When we seek (nd's power for some need in our lives, we must first thank and praise Him before we can expect to receive the answer to our need We must look beyond the problem In the power and thank Him for it We must not relegate thanksgiving to special occasions, but each day bring grateful hearts to God. When we do so. those hearts will be spiritually powerful Gary and Anne Revinglon with Brett and Christopher were in charge of welcome and ushering. and Beth Cowdrey red the children al .Junior Congregation lime.

Marion Lee also reported on the Tweedsmuir History Curators' meeting held at Col- dstream during the summer, which she and Flora Robert- son had attended, and from which they derived much useful information. Two members who live at the cor- ner of William and Main, mentioned that it was most difficult to cross either street, and they would like to see stop lights installed. Alice St. comes in from the East at that corner as well, adding to the difficulty. Many drivers coming up William do not stop at the corner of Main, just slow up and then "gun it", making it very dangerous for pedestrians. A letter recommending a stop light is to council for their meeting in October. Friendship Club Bryanston Friendship club met September 26 in the Christian Education Room of Bryanston Church.

The adults will be canvass- ing the community, including Biddulph township and parts of London township during the week of October 15 to 20. The money is required for finishing touches such as painting and decorating, cabinets, cupboards, vanities, and so forth. "While much of this work could wait until the future, it makes much more sense to complete as much as we can now," says building commit- tee chairman Dave Bafr. "Alt the work completed to date Revival Doug and Martha Butler, in Sunday morning service, sang Now I'm Forgiven. They then sang praise the Lord. Rev. Roger Mason introduc- ed former pastor, Rev. Ray Brewster, now missionary to Haiti. Rev. Brewster led in teaching a new chorus, I Will Sing and Praise the Lord. Rev. Brewster ministered from 1 Corinthians 6:16. The secret of ministry is finding out what God is doing, then become involved in it. When we walk through trials we can go through in victory when we know what God is doing. God has a season for blessings, but we have to ask for the blessing. If we ask and pray accor- ding to God's will, we know God will hear us. God will tell us His will if we take the time to spend alone with Him. Life is too short to miss what God is doing. God's word can come to us through the writ- ten word, or through His Ho- ly Spirit. The problem is not that God is not speaking, but that people are not listening. Mission Service Sunday evening, after. prayer for needs in Haiti. Doug and Martha Butler ministered singing Go and Teach All Nations. Rev. Roger Mason again in- troduced Rev. Ray Brewster, missionary to Haiti. Rev. and Mrs. Brewster are the field superintendents of the Pentecostal Holiness Church in Haiti, accountable to Mis- sions superintendent of the Latin and West Indies work. Although the Canadian work sends him $1000." U.S. a month, Rev. Brewster is responsible to raise that money for his support as well as the same amount in the U.S. This support money is channelled through the Mis- sion Board in U.S. After all expenses are paid, they receive $585 a month salary. Food is veryexpensive,with a jar of coffee alone costing $15. Rev. Brewster thanked everyone for supporting them both financially and in prayer. Rev. Brewster then showed video via two donated T. V.'s has been accomplished without going to the public at all. Now we feel that a one- time blitz will help to raise the money needed to completely finish the hall." In addition to the door-to- door canvass, local businesses will also be ap- proached by letter or personal visit to help out. It is believ- ed that the Scout/Guide Hall can be completed with ab- solutely no long term finan- cial liability with the generous support of the community during this blitz. In the meantime, blitzes of another type are going on almost constantly at the con- struction site as volunteers work to complete parts of the necessary construction not covered by the contract.

Illiteracy is prevelant, with only one teacher for 1000 people. The country is nominally 90 per- cent Roman Catholic, with voodoo actually the rule. The office of the Haiti Mis- sion Board was shown. They have established churches and schools in new areas. The Brewster held a two week crusade to start a new church in Duvalierville. They teach the bible on the people's level in each local church. Some opposition came, but the churches grew. They combine church ac- tivities with a school. They have now nine schools, where they offer a daily feeding pro- gram. The children lustily sing while they wait for their daily meals. The food, rice and beans, is provided by World Missions, and child sponsor programs. This is all many children get to eat a day. Rev. Brewster looks after the child sponsor pro- gram for the church in Haiti. His address is available from Rev. Roger Mason. Also Rev. Brewster establishes medical clinics. A voodoo ceremony showed the spiritual darkness of the people. There is a church be- ing built where the Brewsters will have a national teacher's program in Creole, the na- tional language. The course has 34 book series, to teach native pastors. A native church service was shown. They worship God whole- heartedly, using their own musical instruments, as they sing unto the Lord. After the video presenta- tion, Rev. Brewster said they feed the children, and teach them about the Lord Jesus Christ. It is the gospel that people need to change their lives. Rev. Brewster read Romans 10:9-15. This scrip- ture asks questions on how to bring the gospel to those who have never heard, from those near us, to those in foreign lands. Christians living accor- ding to the Bible, in unity and love, are witnesses to others to help win them to the Lord.
