things. If

At Christmas-time Mirs. Ross invited the congregation

to

D ur i n g t h e month

of

we

q u i t e a

snow storms. S o m e of

t h e

more perman ent residents ha ve said it's been the worst wint er i n quite a

few years.

We've

h a d t e m p e r a t u r e s around -17°C (that's about

0^)

nd the snow has a c c u m u l a t e d

in places

higher

than

people's

front

doors•

The snow removal equipment here is

quite efficient and the

road crews

get

out

almost immediately,

so w e'r e

never-

•snowed

in for more

t h a n a

few

hours.

suffering more heavily

this

winter

than

ever.

The church

here remembers

y o u all

in

her

pr a y ers

and

we are

grateful

for

God's

protection of

our

families and the Clarks.

On the personal

side,

this

m o n t h

has b e e n interesting to

say

the least. We

flew to Ohio

in

December to share

in

the wedding of Rhonda's college roommate and

- c - l o s e fri-endy-

Susan

-Shoup^-Manki-nsy—and—to-celebrate a n - e a r l y

Christmas--with

our

——

parents. Mom a n d D s i d D u n h a m a n d C h r i st y joined u s bringing greetings from Illi nois,

a n d spec i a l

th anks

to Mom Neumeister

for

m a k i n g S t e v e 's a n d

Ueremy'sfirst

a i rp l a n e

flight possible. Jeremy cele brated his first birthday D ecember 2^ complete with

presents, cake,

a nd

a l as, a tummy*-ache afterward.

But

cn Christm as

D a y h e

showed

no signs of

discomfort as he

l i t e r a l l y

"tore"

i n t o

his

gifts

from "Sant a."

We a l l

especi a l l y en joyed this Christm a s

D a y

as

it was t h e first we spen t

a lone together

a s a fa m i l y. W e

were i n v i t e d

t o several "open houses" durin g the hol ida ys. These

ga ve u s m a n y

opportunities to

make new acquai n ta nces and

to

secure friendships."

We

hope to build on these relationships

i n

t h e crming

year.

Steve has had some different

exper ie nces

He

They

each a dded a

We ask for your prayers

on ou r

behalf.

During the middle of March, we printed a letter to be mailed to apartmen t

dwellers in our area. In it we introduced Christ and His Church and briefly

the

West Island Church

of

Christ. Some

of these

have been

distributed

but

we

have not

witnessed a n y response

as

y et. We pla n

t o distribu te more of

these

n ex t m o n t h.

We were saddened to hear of

the

death of Mr. Melvin S. Kitchen on

March

I9. We were

sad but y et happy because

we

know that

2

Timothy 4j7,8 a n d

Revelation 1^:13 apply to him.

In

August 19?? God ga ve

us

the

priviledge

a nd

blessin g to

m e e t

Mr. a nd Mrs, Kitchen a nd

their

sons, Richard an d Edward, an d

their families, It was a

tim e of

fellowship we sh al l never forget, Mr. Kitchen

was the founder and first president of Eastern Ch ristian

College,

Bel Air, Md.

and had

been a minister for 6^ years. He was a

rea l

inspiration to us - and m a n y

others. While Richard a nd his f a m i l y were i n Pe n n s y l v a n i a for the funeral, we

were i n Gracefield t ak i ng c are of the ir

home.

It was good t o be i n t h e

country

a g a i n - a n c l r - t o . . c a r e

. f . Q r

.cows,,chickens-and a newborn calf. - We-enjoyed o u r . -week—

there

but

we

wished it could

have been

under different circumstances.

T h e

Ontari o Christi an C onference was hel d the 23rd through

t h e

25th.

Unfortun atel y, we missed

i t.

However, we

fel t

our

most im portan t

responsibility

was to take care of

the

Kitchen*s home.

We

were thankful that we were able

to

be

of help. Mrs.

Ross

an d her son Graha m were ab le t o attend though a lo ng with a

friend

from Ottawa

and Wayne

Scharfenburg from downtown Montrea l.

They

had

a

great time

a nd

told u s a l l about it. We

trust

there w il l be more opportunities

for

fellowship

that

we

will be able

to take

part i n

and

that next

year

the entire

congregation will be able to

attend.

Besides the fe l lowsh ip d i n n er on March

5th,

t h e ch urch h as h ad some

enjoyable gath erings. March

1 2 t h

Dave Simon

preached

a

fine

sermon on

loyalty,

based on the example

of

Elisha. The 19th he had

charge of

the song service an d

S t e v e h a d t h e

message. Afterward,

all

of

us ate l u n c h at

Mrs.

Ross' h o m e t h e n

visited for a t i m e

a nd

s a ng around

the

piano. Prayer meeti ngs

are

developing

t o

have

good ong-di-seuss-ions along

with Scripture

a n d "

prayerr—

E ast e r S u nd a y started

ou t

a s

a

disappointment a s we were

t h e

only ones t o show up

for

worship.

T h a t eve ni ng though,

we

d i n n er

with

Nevertheless,

Dear Brothers

and

Sisters

in

Christ,

We

hope

your

summer

i s

going

well

and you

are enjoying a l l that God ha s

provided. S u m n i e r has been

great

for us so far

an d we

have been busy.

The

Lord ha s

supplied

u s with

m a n y

blessings during the

month of July

for which

we

are

thankful.

Steve's parents and

sister,

Chris, visited us for about twelve

days

- from

the l as t

week

of Jun e

u n t i l J u l y

10th. We

enjoyed h a v i n g

them a nd showin g them

around

Montreal.

One

night we put them to work babysitti ng while we attended

the

weddin g of

a

dear

brother and sister

i n

Christ - now

I t r .

and Mrs.

Fred

Sommerville

who are living i n Ta ber, Alberta where they are members of the

Taber Church

of Christ.

Needless

to say, Jeremy was t h e highl ight of Gran dma an d Gran dpa's v isit.

For four

of the

f iv e

S u nd a ys

of the

month we had visitors i n our

m or n i n g

worship services. These people cam e from Montreal, parts

of

Ontario, and

a l l

the

way

from Colorado

as

w e l l

a s S t e v e ' s fa m i l y from Illinois.

O n e

S u n d a y , Gord Brown,

a

recent graduate

of

Ontario Christian

Seminary,

sang and

played

his guitar i n worship

an d led us i n

singing. Another

Sunday,

Chris

F l y n n, a former

member of our congrega

tion residing

i n Ontario,

shared

a passage

of scriptu re an d

a

devotiona l thought.

Both of these m en were a great blessing because of their messages and because of

t h e i r w i l l i n g n e s s

t o

s h a r e t h e i r l o v e . On t h e 2 3 r d w e

w e r e

a w a y a t c h u r c h c a m p a n d

a s the Lord

continues

to

provide, Harold Cooper,

minister with the West

Lake Chu rch

of Christ in

Picton,

Ont., was

able

to

preach from

God's Word

that morning.

As

you

can see, the congregati on here is experiencing

more

fel lowship with he r brethren i n

Christ -

a goal

w e h a v e b e e n workin g toward

and

t h r o u g h w h i c h the L o r d h a s b l e s s e d .

During the last

half of

the month, we were involved i n church camp. The

Ontario Christian Assembly i s a 50 acre campsite

located

near

Shelburne,

Ont., north

west of Toronto

w h i c h

is

sponsored the

O n t a r i o

Chu rches of

C h r i s t .

W e

were asked

to

participate i n one week of Jr. High camp

an d the

half-week of First Chance camp

for

third-graders. The them e

for

the Jr. High week

was

"The Music Machine," Galatians

5:22,23. "The Music Machi ne" is a

record

album for young people which teaches in song

the

fruits of

the

Spirit. It is exceptional. The classes for

the week

were based on

these fruits of the Spirit

and Steve taught on f a i t h f i ^ l n e s s . He

was

also the missions

s p e a k e r for t h e w e e k . T h e r e

w e r e

c a m p e r s a l o n g w i t h t h e c o u n s e l o r s a n d s t a f f . We

a l l

formed a

choir, le arn ed

songs of

"The Music

Machine"

and then presented the

t h e

congregation

there.

We had

a

great

time of

fellowship wi t h

t h e m a n d were a lso a b l e t o

enjoy a cornroast

on

a Lake Erie

beach. Then o n S u n d a y morn i ng Stev e spoke to t h e congregation concerning Montreal.

( The

previous Sunday, Steve was privi leged to worship with the congregation i n

Erin,

Ont. where

Gord Brown m in ist ers.) The

eveni ng, Monday,

and

Tuesday

C h a n c e c a m p w a s

a

real

blessi ng

t o o. F o u r t e e n y o u n g

people

a t t e nded a n d t h e i r

t h e m e

was

Prayer. Steve acted as

one of the teachers

and

Rhonda was the vesper speaker.

Jeremy really enjoyed himself too. He thought he was a little camper - lining up

at t h e m ess hall

a n d j oi n i n g t h e s i n g i n g W e h ope a n d pra y

that t h e

y o u n g

people

grew

as m u c h from their experience at camp as we did.

Last

summer we

reported to some of our supporting

churches

during July

and

August.

This y e a r

we decided

to put

our

reporting off until fall b ec a u s e

we

needed to be here this summer. We b e l i e v e t h i s was the right decision

as

our summer

has been very busy

and

beneficial for

the

church.

The

fall promises to

be a

busy

t i m e

for u s as

we l l.

However,

w e p l a n

t o

t a k e

two weeks to v i s i t c h u rch e s , i n d i v i

d u a l s, a n d family. T h e S u n d a y s

we

w i l l be in t h e U.S. a r e

October

15 a n d 22. An yon e

wanting

us

to

report

on

either Sunday

or

during

either of these

two weeks

should

con

tact u s as

soon

as

possible. Also,

if any

ch urches or i n d i v i d u a l s

wou ld

l i k e for

u s

to speak w i t h

them but

do not

have time

to

schedule

a

personal

meeting,

we

wo u ld

be

h appy to

send a

recorded

report

on cassette tape.

If

this wou ld be conven ien t, please

contact

us and let us know

of

any

specific information you

wo u ld

like

to receive.

We praise

God

for

e a c h

of you that are

supporting

our work.

God

has greatly

blessed

u s

through you.

Our

m o n t h l y

support ha s hel d up

well. We

h a v e

n o t

t o

s e e k fi n a n c i a l support s i n c e

we arri v ed

h e r e n e a r l y two y e ars ago. We do n e e d in

creased

f i n a n c i a l

support at t h i s t i m e , however. Increasin g costs a r e

part

of

ou r

need.

Plus, we will be moving a t the en d of August. We

have

outgrown our

^

oom

ap art m e n t a nd S t e v e needs

a room

of h is own

for

h is s t ud y a nd the church's office. We

are

looking for an other apartmen t or

a nd

we have found

t h a t

everything

i s

more expensive. So,

with i ncreased costs

an d h igher

w i l l

more f i n a n c i a l

g o t m o v ^ ^ ^ i f e o u r n e w

residence,

(it

is amazing the things y o u

a c c u m u l a t e

in

a

few

y e a r s '

time.) We had

a

lot

of help

from the

Rosses

and

the Simons a , n d a teenager, our neighbor

in

the

old

apartment building. It has taken us most of the month

to

get the place organized.

It

is

quickly

beginning

to feel like

h o m e - , .

The teenager,

Mark,

and

his mother moved

in next

door

to

us here

shortly

after

we moved.

So

we

were

able

to help

them

a

little

too. We will have

many

opportunities to share the good news of Jesus Christ with them. They are good

friends

and

very open

to

us.

The 15th and l6th of the month, Rhonda

and

Louise Kitchen attended

a ladies' retreat

at the Christian

service camp in Shelburne, Cnt. They had a

great

time

of

fellowship

as

they

got

acquainted with

many ladies

from the

Ontario cong re

g a t i o n s . Autumn

Huron from Canton, Ohio, was

the guest

speaker.

On Sunday, the

2 4 t h f

Steve was g uest speaker once again with the Ottawa-Garleton Christian Church in

Ottawa, Ontario. W e enjoyed the time of fellowship and g etting

acquainted with

our

brethren there. The last weekend of

this

month, the West Island

Church

of Christ

and

the Ottawa

congregation

will be having

a

ellow ship campout near Gracef ield, Quebec

with the Richard Kitchen

family. W e are

looking

forward

to a

gceat

time.

We have b e e n with our church m e m b e r s quite a bit

this

month. W e

have entertained

in

our home and have been invited out

to

others'

as

well. Recently»

we had the priviledge of sharing our

home

with the Daniel Kalnin

family as

they

travelled

through

Montreal on their way to

the M a r l t i r a e s . They

are missionaries to

Thailand. Since they were here the night of

our

weekly prayer meeting, w e

asked

them

to share their work with us. It was an interesting evening

for all.

All of these things have kept us busy, and October promises to be

just

as full.

Thanksgiving comes

on

the

9 ' t b .

Then on the 11th, Steve will be

speaking in chapel at Ontario Christian Seminary and we will attend the college convo

cation

and inauguration

of Donald Stevenson

as

their second

president. Then we will

b e

in

the States

for

ten days speaking with

some

of our supporters.

Please continue

We are needing

us

in our travels in October and the congregations we speak with.

Also be

in

prayer

for

the Church

here,

especially

for

Carolyn

Ross i r t i o recently

broke

her ankle. Ask God for guidance,

that

we may effectively share with our neighbors.

May

the God of

be

kept sound and

Dear Brothers and Sisters

In

Christ,

October

can

be summed up

in two

words - travel"

and

"fellowship."

The driving

was tiring but the

fellowship made

It all worth It

The month started with the weekend

camp-out

In

Gracefield, Quebec

which

we mentioned In our last letter. It

was

more

of a *camp-ln

due to

the

rainy

weather. There

were

I5 of us In all

from

Montreal, Gracefield, Manlwakl, and Ottawa

and we

all

enjoyed the fellowship that

only

Christians can have.

The Canadian Thanksgiving weekend

(Oct.

9)

was

a

busy one

for

us too.

We spent

Saturday

at a

lodge

north of Montreal with the Simon family and three of

their

friends.

This gave us the opportunity to get to know a young couple

who

had

visited our worship service earlier and a young

man,

a

former

member of

the

church

who

Is

now attending

school in

the Eastern

Townships

area of Quebec. Sunday

worship

attendance was quite low with everyone gone for the holiday.

But

since

then

our

attendance has picked up again. Our group Is small (12) but faithful.

On

the 11th of the month Steve

spoke

In

chapel

at Ontario Christian

Seminary

In

Toronto. The 13th we were present

for

the

school's convocation

and

Inauguration of their second president, Donald Stevenson. Our three

days

In Toronto

were a great

joy.

We became better

acquainted

with

the

students s i n

our.brethren

there

were a

great encouragement to us. We are

grateful to Nelson Deultch

and

his

family for offering

us

their loving hospitality.

We then

spent

eleven days In the States visiting

some

of our

supporters In

Illinois, Indiana and Ohio.

Ihe

love

and

Interest we

encountered

has gr eatly encouraged

us

In our

work.

We thank all of you

whom

we had the oppor

tunity of sharing

with

for

your

openness and hospitality

and

continued support.

After

we

returned

home

to

Montreal, Steve and David

Simon left

for

the men's

retreat

at the

Church camp

In Shelburne, Ontario. The

guest speaker

at

the retreat was Robert Phi llips,

president

of Lincoln

Ch ristian C ollege.

We were

uplifted

and challenged

by

the

program

and the fellowship. We learned

a

lot about

our slster-congregatlons

In Ontario as well The Skip Daniels

family

graciously

offered their hospitality

to us f ollowing

the

retreat. All of this travelling Is

a

great

effort

and

expense

but the

church

here deeply feels the need

for

fellowship

with those of

like

precious faith.

Each

time we participate

In

a program with th e

Ontario churches of Christ

this

tie is strengthened

and

all

the members of the body


24/26

are blessed*

Thank

you for your continued

prayers on

rur behalf.

They

are

accomplishing much

in

our lives and in the

lives

ef people we touch. Please pray

for the

growth

of the church here.

In

the months ahead

we will be focusing

our efforts on

making new

contacts and

challenging former

mem ers

to

make

their

stand with Christ

and

serve

together with

us.

Now may our Lord Jesus Christ

himself, and God our

Father, whe

loved

us

and gave

us

e t e r n a l . - comfort

and~^good hope

throu^ gracer pomfort-your —

hearts and

establish

them

in

every good work a . n d word. 2

Dear

Brothers and

Sisters

in Christy

I l a n y good things have

happened

recently and i r e have been very

busy. .But

there

have

been

frustrations too. It seems

sometimes

the

two must

go together.

Church group activities

are

keeping us busy.

We

just finished

a series of

four

sermons from

the

book of Jonah. These s e r r a o n s i dealing with

e v a n g e l i s m

l e a d right i n t o o u r s t u d y of

e v a n g e l i s m

in

m i d - w e e k p r a y e r m e e t i n g s .

Our study

is

a

series

of

lessons

on evangelism from

David C. Cook

Publishing

entitled Good l i i r s

is for Sharing. This is proving beneficial

to

our group

already

as we

have discussed

what

evangelism is

and

the

fears t l i a t

plague us

all.

We recommend this material to you.

We had a

bowling party

in

mid-Uovember

and a

few teenage

boys

came along

with Graham

Ross, Afterrfard

we came hone to the Rosses for

a

chili

supper

and

the parents

and family

of one

young

man joined

us.

V f e

had

a

nice visit

together

and we learned a lot about Jamaica, their homeland.

Future

contact v r i t h

this family is

promising.

Please be

praying that

God

will provide opportunities

to talk

more

with them.

On Ilovonber 19 Steve w as privilodged to preach and speak about

our

work

with

the

Westway Christian Church

in

Toronto) Ontario.

The warmth) interest

encouragement and help

he

received is greatly appreciated.
