Phillips leads service during conference
Greeting worshippers at Blyth
United Church on Sunday, May 28
were Donna Moore and Marilyn
Craig. Ushering were Rob Mason
and John Stewart. Marilyn Scott was
organist, Katie Dockstader, choir
director and Fred Hakkers ran the
Power Point.
Emily Phillips welcomed
everyone to church reminding the
congregation that it was Conference
Sunday, meaning all the ministers in
the conference are in London for
their meeting. Because all the
ministers are at conference they
prepared the message and sent out to
all the United Churches for someone
to present. Emily drew attention to
the announcements printed in the
Bulletin. Special attention that next
Sunday will be the last Sunday
before summer break for the Sunday
Fun Group. They are celebrating
their year ending by preparing lunch
for after the Service and invited
everyone to stay and have lunch
Emily lit the Christ candle on the
alter table. The call to worship was
said responsively. The first hymn
was "Open My Eyes That I May
See". The opening prayer was said
in unison followed by the singing of
the Lord's Prayer.
The children were asked to come
to the front. Emily told the children
that it is hard to be nice to everybody
all the time. Sometimes we forget to
say "thank you". Sometimes we do
things that hurt people and make
them sad. Emily handed a child a
basket full of little stones and asked
him to pass the basket around and
give everyone a little stone. After
everyone had their stone she asked if
the basket was a little lighter and the
answer was "yes". We can make
someone feel better by saying we are
sorry, by giving them a hug and by
saying "thank you" She told the
children and the congregation to
keep the stone in our pocket and
every time we see it, it will remind
us to be thoughtful of others.
Emily said a prayer with the
children and the congregation. The
children went into their room for
their time of fellowship. The next
hymn was, "Teach Me God to
Wonder". The scripture reading was
from Habakkuk 1:1-4 and 2:1-3 and
the Gospel reading was from Luke
15: 11-24. The choir sang the
anthem, "Follow Me".
In the scriptures, Jesus is often
found sitting in a crowd of people,
talking to them and telling stories. In
The first ever
While this will be a very big season of firsts for the Blyth Festival, with some actors being the
first to walk across the newly renovated stage and plays being the first to christen the new
theatre after the $4 million renovations that occurred at the site, the very first first was the first
new art show at the Blyth Festival Art Gallery. On Thursday, May 25, the Student Art Show of
Huron and Perth high schools opened in the recently -renovated gallery. (Denny Scott photo)
the scriptures it was the story of the
prodigal son. The story of two sons
receiving their inheritance. The story
was about the younger son running
away and squandering his money
and then returning home. The father
was glad to see him and prepared a
feast in his honour.
We are a family of faith. We have
to reconcile our ways and have faith
to move forward. We can work
together with God's help for the
bigger picture.
The next hymn, "Just As I Am"
was followed by the offering, the
offertory response, the offertory
prayer, the prayers for the people
singing of the hymn response, "Deep
in Our Hearts". The Last hymn, "We
are Pilgrims" was followed by the
benediction and the singing of the
response, "I am Walking a Path of
Peace" Everyone was invited for
snacks, coffee, tea and fellowship.

Why?
(Arthur Pink)
Instead of a river, God often gives us a brook --which may be running
today, and dried up tomorrow.
Why?
To teach us not to rest in our blessings --but in the blesser Himself.
"Hold me up --and I shall be safe!" Psalm 119:117
"So do not fear --for I am with you! Do not be dismayed --for I am your
God. I will strengthen you and help you; I will uphold you with My
righteous hand!" Isaiah 41:10
