JOHN'S UCC HOLDS SERVICES IN NEW CHURCH 700 Persons Attend Worship; New Liturgy Introduced For Congregation St. John's United Church of Christ held its initial services at its new church building, located at 1811 Lincoln Way East, on Sunday.

Approximately 700 persons attended the worship services and Church School attendance reached a near peak. In conjunction with the services, a new liturgy for the congregation in worship was used for the first time. The pastor, the Rev. Glenn E. Schultz, said "The liturgy, in keeping with the architectural expression of the church nave, recaptures 1 the first century Christian worship form and, at the same time, finds its roots in the necessary Christian witness to contemporary life.

It gives visible expression to the gathered fellowship of the household of God and the basic priesthood of the laity by means of the use of laymen in liturgical function during the progression of the service." Mr. Schultz, in his sermon stressed the task of the church in today's world. Taking note of the closely-knit, dependent society the world has become recently, as well as the social revolution for civil rights in which the nation finds itself engaged, he urged the membership of the church to become actively involved in the solution of these problems, as underlined in the gospel lesson for the day. His closing challenge was to begin making a real church of God's presence and grace in the new building "which now has become the congregation's church Regular offerings for the day were in excess of $3,000.
