ici News from Scugog Island and area by Mrs, Earl Reader _... Sunday was a very meaningful day at the Island Church when Sunday School pupils were privileged to witness the official installation of four of their teachers by Reverend Clarke. The four who were able to be present were Mrs. Wilma Johnson, Mrs. Pat Henshaw, Mrs. Carol Hobbs and Laurie Anne Wilson. After pupils and teachers left for the Sunday School area, the installation continued when the acting secretary Mrs. Dorothy Freeman called other new officials to the front, namely Jim Heayn as an elder, Mrs. Pat Taylor as a steward and Mrs. Joan Aldred as treasurer of the '""'Grace", the installation and vows were different according to the responsible position. Each was welcomed by elder George Samells. Reverend Clarke is relating his services at this time to the Lenten Season. It was the second Sunday on the Passion or suffering of Jesus during the period following the Last Supper. On Sunday he reviewed the happenings in Gethsemane" and olive orchard near Jerusalem where Jesus took his disciples when he went to pray on the night of "his betrayal. associated this occasion with a Gethsemane period in our own lives when we all go through a period of agony and suffering and find it Reverend Clark... difficult to handle-if we are alone in it. Frequently, we are so busy with our own problems we can't see the sufferings of others. We are- happy with the renovations .and improve- ments in our church building for comfort, appearance and cleanliness. We appreciate two more 'donations from Scugog and we understand others will follow from more distant places. As we review the list of donors, we are impressed with the number of former residents or people formerly associated with the work of the Church. Why do they do it, when they will not be able to enjoy it? The answer is clear. They have faith that we may have help and put forth our best efforts to carry on the work which Jesus directed us to do. So now that we have the material requirements where do we go from here? Winter sports are over and we should turn our attention _to the meaning of the Easter - Season and figure out what it means for us and our families. We expect to see our Church filled with all the young families as well as the ~ older faithful members and not just on Easter Sunday. Our opportunities are passing faster than we realize.

Last week four young couples, married in 1980, were presented with individual gifts of money and a "Good Wishes" wedding card from friends - and neighbours whose names were found inside the card. "'The-.four.__ couples were Margaret and ~Calvin- Cochrane, Jane and Raymond Reader, Donna and Tim Pearce, Cheryl (Chandler) and John Davis.
