Betbany United Church March 24th at 11:00 a.m. a tood Friday Service will ýbe 'tield in Bethauy United Churcb. This will be an ,cumenical service and the Rjev. Wayne Chatterton will peach the sermon. 'Betbany Greeters for Marcb are Mr. and Mirs. Glen Preston aùti ushers are Lucy Hender- son and Mary Ann Staples. Mr. Grahaus chose the topic "Feelings or ýFacts" for bis sermon on Sunday. There are ýIany ways to divide people bito different classes. Some have no interest in the church. fissuming the majority belong to the ther cass, we can see that even the best of Christ- lans sometimes have doubts. We, Christ jans start off a little #ike a young couple, every tbing is nice and rosy and we figure out because we believe we will have no problems, but like the yaung couple, the honeymoon is over and every- body's 11e is not always rosy. The worries and doubts start coming. Being Chrîstians we seem to face even more temptations and wie begin ta ,.Yonder if t is wortb al the trouble and tribulations. We need reassurance, we need to know we wiil be forgiven.,,We cannot do anything unless God took His Son and gave us salvation. Some tbinXk becoming a Christian bas tu come with a big spectacular experience, like the conversion of Paul, but that is not so, it can be like the Ethiopean, saivation came very quietly and simple. If we believe in Jesus we should have nodoubt and not i4pve fears, but trust in a bigher sphere, in God, who said, "l people everywhere whose sins are ceansed away, who are set apart by faitb in me." St. Pau's Anglican Sunday School will be at 10:15 a.m. instead of during the church service. Debbie Wood and Helen Fry have a new programme which should prove very interesting and enjoyable. Ail children of any age are very welcome to attend. Rev. David Sissmore chose Luke 9 for bis sermon and said, "None want to admit it but there's a great desire for glory." Glory is God, given, and the path to glory leads tbrougb pain, suffering and death. We are given glimpses of glory but they are just memqries of encouragement to keep us going. The disciples couhdn't seem to acce1pt Jesus' idea of the Messiah, Jesus always spent time first in prayer before a difficulty He had to face. At the mount of transfiguration. His life changed its appearance - a dazzling white appearance, wh ich means purity and glary. The disciples awakened and saw Jesus and two men and Peter offered to make tbree tents, an eastern custom, of bonour. Peter realized it was an important time as Jesus was going to Jerusalem, and hie wanted Him to stay, lie couldn't understand that in order to receive glory, Jesus had to suffer. A voice in a claud said, "This is my son.." a cloud i the Bible always indicates God's presence. Lif bas no meaning or purpose if it's just a drudgery, but it need not be if we are conscious of God's presence in our daily routine.
