Mother's Day dessert orders open
Greeting worshippers at Blyth
United Church on Palm Sunday
were Lavern Clark and Marilyn
Craig. Ushering were Nancy
Hakkers and Laurie Sparling. Floyd
Herman was welcomed back as
guest organist. Katie Dockstader
was choir director and Fred Hakkers
ran the Power Point.
Lavern Clark welcomed everyone
to church on Sunday morning.
Lavern reminded the stewards of
their meeting on April 18 at 7:30
pm. He also thanked those in charge
of the renovations that have been
done and those that will being
completed in the next few months.
He reminded the congregation that
there is a sheet on the table in the
narthex with a list of caterings and
events happening in the church for
the next few months. The last pie
day until next fall is April 19.
Lavern reminded the congregation
the UCW are taking orders for the
Mother's Day dessert sale. If you
wish to order call Donna Moore at
519-253-9855 or Sharon Bromley at
519-523-9421.
Lavern invited the congregation to
greet one another. Brenda Brooks
and Tanner Brooks lit the Lenten
candles on the altar table. The prayer
of approach was said in unison.
The scripture reading was from
Matthew 21: 1-11, the story of Jesus
sending His disciples to find a
donkey on which He rode when He
entered the city of Jerusalem. The
hymn "Hosanna Loud Hosanna,"
accompanied by the guitar group of
Rev. Clark, Connor Brooks and
Braidon Abell-Rinn, was sung as the
children followed the donkey around

the sanctuary. The children (palm
trees) along with Rev. Clark and
Braidon Abell-Rinn presented the
story of "Donkey! What's Up?"
Rev. Clark (as Jesus) and Braidon
(being the voice of the donkey) told
the story of the donkey talking to
Jesus and why the donkey was there.
The donkey told Jesus he was afraid
that he would never see Jesus again
and Jesus told him that even though
donkey could not see Jesus, Jesus is
always with us. The children went
downstairs for their time of
fellowship. The anthem the choir
sang was a medley of Easter hymns.
The offering was received followed
by the offertory response "Grant Us
God the Grace," the offertory prayer,
the prayers for the people and the
singing of the Lord's Prayer.
The last hymn "Put Your Hand in
the Hand" accompanied by the
guitar band was followed by the
benediction and the singing of "0
Jesus I Have Promised." Everyone
was then invited for coffee and treats
to finish the day of fellowship.
FROM BLYTH
It will soften a stone!
(Thomas Watson, "The Mischief of Sin")
"The blood of Jesus cleanses us from all sin!" 1 John 1:7
Christ's blood is a SOFTENING blood.
There is nothing so hard, that it cannot be softened by this blood. It will
soften a stone! Water will soften the earth — but it will not soften a
stone; but Christ's blood mollifies a stone. It softens a heart of stone. It
turns a flint into a spring The heart, which before was like a piece hewn
out of a rock, being steeped in Christ's blood becomes soft, and the waters
of repentance flow from it.
"They will look on Me whom they have pierced and mourn for Him as for
an only son. They will grieve bitterly for Him as for a firstborn son who
has died." Zechariah 12:10
How was the jailer's heart dissolved and made tender when the blood of
sprinkling was upon it! "Sirs, what must I do to be saved?" Acts 16:30.
His heart was now like melting wax. God might now set whatever seal and
impression He desired, upon it.
"I will give you a new heart with new and right desires, and I will put a
new spirit in you. I will take out your stony heart of sin and give you a
new, obedient heart" Ezekiel 36:26
