(Staff Photo) Communion at United Church WROXETER — "Thy Will Be Done" was the anthem sung by the choir Sunday morning when communion service was held in the United Church here. Hymns sung during the service were "Jesus Thy Blood and Righteous- ness" and "My Hope Is Built on Nothing Less". Nancy Clarke read the psalm 'and scripture. "I am not worthy" was the verse from scripture on which Rev. G. Sach based his sermon. Corzmuniori is the simple story of Jesus having communion with his disciples and saying, "I am not worthy". . . The centurion learned to cross roads of difference. He °built a synagogue. He could have tram- pled the religious customs of the Jews but didn't. His heart went ,out to Jesus and he staked all his hopes on Him. The Pharisee assumed he would gain God's .attention. The lowly Gentile of .the same time made -his plea humbly. "We don't have to be superior to come to God. We are at the Lord's Supper not because we are worthy. The table is for those in despair, who need hope and `feel unworthy those who wish to ne helped by communion," said Mr. Sach. On Sunday the service in Wrox- 'eter will be at 10 a.m. and Wrox- eter and Gorrie United Churches will hold union services in Wrox- eter the first four Sundays in. July.

This training came in handy on his return to Canada when he en- tered the feed and fertilizer busi- ness with a co-op firm in Essex County in Western Ontario. Later he took a position as a car sales- man at Tilbury and surrounding area, then went into business on his own with a modest dealership ,at Wardsville two years ago, where good products and good .deals rapidly expanded the busi- ness.
