with all Interested mem here of the general public Clergy Comments During the initial meeting Mra Horn described the development and structure of the Peel Region Social Planning Council and the

has a firm working affiliation with the courts the boards of health and social services organizations She said money however is the significant problem Mrs Horn said that after four years of operation the Peel Region council Joined hands with Brampton Red Feather branch of the United Appeal In this manner she said the problem of funding was placed In the care of a Joint board of directors made up of clergymen businessmen and representatives of volunteer agencies The council was then free to deal with social problems such as housing and child care The Jan meeting Is designed to plan a course of The greatest gift It won t be long now Just a few more weeks and we 11 be asking each other What did you get for Christ mas or Was Santa good to you And we 11 answer in terms of the material gifts we were given We 11 say Oh I got a new pair of socks or a or a car or TV set We probably won tell anyone that we were given a special show ol love from our parents or found new peace by discovering what the season Is all about or were given new friends or received the Joy of seeing tho family all together again or received greetings from old friends we ve long been separated from We don think In those terms We tend to think in terms of Things of the material gifts wo receive And when we give we tend to think our lave Is shown by the things we give Often we give because we have to It expected of us or even days searching for the right gift And sometimes our children or our wives or husbands or friends would be a lot happier If we forgot the thing and gave ourselves to them our time our love our concern our understanding But we think In terms of things And besides often Its a lot easier to give a present than to give ourselves God t take the easy way out when He gave us our Christmas present He gave His Son Just as He had promised Have you ever had to wait a long long time for a gift You knew It was coming but you had to wait weeks perhaps yeora You knew you wanted he present but you t have It yet You knew It was coming but It wasn there Like an engagement ring or the birth of a child That a the way it was with the gift God gave us For unto us a child is bom unto ua a son is given and the government shall be upon his shoulders and his name shall be called Wonderful Counsellor the Mighty God the Everlasting Father the Prince of peace It was over seven hundred years before the birth of that Isaiah made this prophecy The people had waited a long time to see it fuliilled A lot of them gave up hope And when the child was born they t believe It A lot of people still don believe It They have never really understood that God loves us so much that He gave us a great Christmas present one day In Bethlehem Of course a Christmas gilt Ian much use to anyone If It accepted We cannot wrap something that we don accept ourselves Imagine how you would feel if you placed a gift under the tree on Christmas Eve and It were still there two weeks later when you were ready to throw the tree out because the receiver feel like taking it Perhaps he said I don want It yet Bring It back In a few years or Who wants a gift from you anyway or I don need your gift I ve got some other nice toys here to play with God has heard similar to these when His Gift has been presented to people Have you accepted His gift And hove you begun to unwrap that gift to discover Just how great a gift He has given us The present too many people Is still wrapped up unopened ItsnicetolookunderaChrfstmastree and see all the gifts beautifully wrapped with pretty ribbons and colorful paper But we don like to leave them that way for long We get rather impatient wondering what inside Maybe when nobody la looking we kind of shake the present and try to see if we can read the box through the wrapping and find out what Inside that colorful paper The gift is nice to look at all wrapped up but the really big moment occurs when we take off the wrapping paper Sometimes I think that we haven begun to take of the wrapping of God a gift and discovered the greatness of that gift It a still wrapped up under the tree or more accurately In the manger But the really great thing about the Christmas gift God gave us is that Jesus dldn remain a Utile baby In a manger If we think about It It would have been quite gruesome If He d remained that way Nor did He grow up to be just another man That would have been common and nothing worthy of remembering nor of any use to us But He fulfilled His As the angel told Mary and Joseph His name was colled Jesus for He shall save His people from their sins That why He was bom That why He was given And those who have trusted In Him have found Him to be more than a baby In a manger Indeed He Is the King of Kings Those who believed have found His counsel unlike the advice of so many Is wonderful and that He really the Mighty God the Everlasting Father the Prince of Have you begun to wrap that gift to discover Just how great It can be to allow Jesus to be placed on the throne or your life to bear the government of your life upon His shoulders Church helping Vietnamese celebrate The Vietnamese and Cambodian refugees of Montreal are
