My biggest fear happened last

inconvenience. The luncheon is set
for March 16.

McEwing, 69, second Joann

Collision
While the driver was merely shaken up in a single -vehicle
collision early Thursday morning, the same couldn't be said
for the car. The vehicle left the road just south of Sparling's
Propane on County Road 4 and came to rest on its top next
to the Crime Stoppers sign on the east side of the road. The
incident resulted in the road being closed while responders
tended to the driver and the wreckage. (Denny scoff photo)
Holy Week event set for April 9
Greeting at Blyth United Church
on the second Sunday of Lent,
March 12, were Deb Hakkers and
Marilyn Craig, ushering were Karen
Glousher and Lavern Clark. Susanna
Lyman was guest organist and Katie
Dockstader was choir director while
Fred Hakkers ran the Power Point.
Barb Richmond welcomed
everyone to church and drew
attention to the announcements
printed in the bulletin. Special
attention that Mary Ross will be at
the church for the children next
week. The Sunday school is hosting
a lunch after the service on March
26. She reminded everyone of the
Walk Through Holy Week on
Sunday, April 9 starting at 6:30 p.m.
beginning at the Huron Chapel in
Auburn and ending at Trinity
Anglican Church in Blyth. Each
church will have a 15 minute
service. The walk will take you from
Palm Sunday to the Crucifixion.
David Onn and Emily Phillips lit
the Lenten candles along with the
Christ candle and the other candle on
the altar table. The prayer of
approach was said responsively
followed by the singing of the hymn
"Spirit Open My Heart."
Rev. Gary Clark invited everyone
to greet one another. The next hymn
"Here, Oh My Lord, I See thee Face
to Face" was sung. Rev. Clark
invited everyone to the communion
table followed by the prayer of
thanksgiving and the singing of the
Lord's Prayer. Sharon Dalton, Emily
Phillips and Mary Lou Stewart
served the congregation and the
choir the bread and wine. The last
verses of the hymn "Here, Oh My
Lord, I See Thee Face to Face" was
sung.
The scripture reading was from
Matthew 26:17-30, the story of Jesus
telling His disciples that one of them
would betray Him.
The children were asked to come
to the front for their story time. Rev.
Clark asked the children if they
could tell him what an apple tasted
like? Some answers were it is sweet,
some are sour, some are juicy. He
told them that the best way to find
out what an apple tastes like is to
taste it and find out for yourself.
Forgiveness is the same way.
When we forgive someone we feel
better about ourselves. They said a
prayer along with Rev. Clark and the
congregation and went downstairs
for their time of fellowship. The
choir sang the anthem "Lord Be with
Us On This Day."
Rev. Clark's message to the
congregation was "The Table is Set,
Bring a Friend." The scripture was
about Jesus talking with His
disciples. The disciples ask Jesus
what He wants them to do. He asks
them to prepare a meal to celebrate
passover. Jesus tells His disciples
that one of them at the table will
betray Him. Jesus tells us that we all
are forgiven and that we must
forgive others. The hymn "As We
Gather at Your Table" was sung. The
offering was received followed by
the offertory response "Grant Us
God the Grace," the offertory prayer,
the prayers for the people and
silent prayers. The last hymn "0
God How We Have Wandered"
was sung followed by the
benediction and the singing of verse
1 of the hymn "0 Jesus I have
Promised."
Everyone was invited for coffee,
snacks and fellowship after the
service.

When I grumble about the weather!
(J.R. Miller, "Miller's Year Book -- a Year's Daily Readings")
"The Lord has heard all your grumblings against Him!" Exodus 16:8
Does God really hear every discontented word which I ever speak?
Does He hear when I grumble about the weather...
about the hard winter
about the late spring
about the dry summer,
about the wet harvest?
Does He hear when I grumble...
about the frosts,
about the drought,
about the high winds,
about the storms?
Does He hear when I grumble...
about my circumstances,
about the hardness of my lot,
about my losses and disappointments?
If we could get into our heart, and keep there continually, the
consciousness that God hears every word we speak --would we murmur
and complain so much as we now do?
We are careful never to speak words which would give pain to the hearts
of those we love. Are we as careful not to say anything that we grieve our
heavenly Father?
"I tell you this --that you must give an account on judgment day of every
idle word you speak!" Matthew 12:36
"He who complains of the weather --complains of the God who ordains
the weather!"
