Our Speaker during Family Bible Hour was Mr Steve Modrzjeweski (shown below, Left, with Tim Nielsen).




His message was based on Luke 2: 21-38; focussing on Simeon and Anna, the expectant, senior Saints who knew and understood God's Word ---
And when eight days were accomplished for the circumcising of the child, his name was called JESUS, which was so named of the angel before he was conceived in the womb...And, behold, there was a man in Jerusalem, whose name was Simeon; and the same man was just and devout, waiting for the consolation of Israel:  and the Holy Ghost was upon him.  And it was revealed unto him by the Holy Ghost, that he should not see death, before he had seen the Lord's Christ.  And he came by the Spirit into the temple...Then took he him up in his arms, and blessed God, and said, Lord now lettest thou thy servant depart in peace, according to thy word:  For mine eyes have seen thy salvation, Which thou hast prepared before the face of all people; A light to lighten the Gentiles, and the glory of thy people Israel...And there was one Anna, a prophetess, the daughter of Phanuel, of the tribe of Aser: she was of great age, and had lived with an husband seven years from her virginity; And she was a widow of about fourscore and four years, which departed not from the temple, but served God with fastings and prayers night and day.  And she coming in that instant gave thanks likewise unto the Lord, and spake of him to all them that looked for redemption in Jerusalem.
The Bible passage teaches us that --

1.  Effective Christian service has no age limit,
2.  God honored Simeon and Anna's faithfulness, and
3.  God's timing is perfect

The complete message, in context, is available on DVD.  Please see Romy.
