The first hymn "Lord Prepare Me to Be a Sanctuary" was followed by the opening prayer said responsively with the sign language in the response. Rev. Clark invited everyone to greet one another. The next hymn was "Take Time to be Holy." The scripture reading was from 1 Kings 19: 1-4, 8-15a. Rev. Clark had a kernel of corn and a popped kernel of corn. He ask which one would the congregation prefer? The preferable one was the popped kernel as it was soft and edible. Rev. Clark said that each of us are like the kernel of corn because there is much more inside of us.

Donna White Director of Finance Township of North Huron www.northhuron.ca In the scripture, Elijah runs away because of what he has done and keeps running until his body collapses and falls under a broom tree which has no shade. Elijah asks God to take him but an angel appears and convinces Elijah to eat and drink to restore him. Elijah will need his strength to stand before God. Today the suicide rate is very high in people 65 years of age and older. The Baby Boomers are just entering this age. Today's people are exhausted and God is looking for people to be visiting angels and to show that people over 65 that God cares and others care too. If we only do things that we are comfortable with there is no risk. To take a risk is to show our faith. Visiting angels give room for others to say what they need to say. The next hymn "Be Still My Soul" was followed by the choir singing the anthem "This Little Light of Mine" and "Let It Shine" The offering was received followed by the offertory response "Your Work, O God, Needs Many Hands," the offertory prayer, prayers for the people and the singing of the Lord's Prayer. The last hymn "He Leadeth Me" was followed by the benediction and the singing of the response "Go Now in Peace." Everyone was invited for coffee and treats and fellowship with one another. FROM BLYTH Artisans Streetfest July 23 Blyth All -wise Providence! (Moral and Religious Anecdotes ) A merchant was one day returning from market. He was on horseback, and his saddlebag was filled with money. The rain fell with violence, and the good old man was wet to his skin. At this he was vexed, and murmured because God had given him such bad weather for his journey. He soon reached the borders of a thick forest. What was his terror on beholding on one side of the road a robber, with leveled gun, aiming at him, and attempting to shoot him! But the gunpowder being wet by the rain, the gun did not go off — and the merchant, giving spurs to his horse, fortunately had time to escape. As soon as he found himself safe, he said to himself: "How wrong was I, not to endure the rain patiently, as sent by Divine Providence! If the weather had been dry and fair, I probably would not have been alive at this hour, and my little children would have expected my return in vain. The rain, which caused me to murmur, came at a fortunate moment to save my life and preserve my money!" And thus it is with a multitude of our afflictions. By causing us slight and short sufferings — they preserve us from others far greater and of longer duration. "We know that God causes all things to work together for good to those who love God, to those who are called according to His purpose!"
