(Denny Scott photo) Church welcomes guest speaker Greeting worshippers at Blyth United Church on Sunday, July 24, were Brenda Brooks and Marilyn Craig. Ushering were David Onn and Brenda Brooks. Susanna Lyman was guest organist and Katie Dockstader was choir director. Lavern Clark ran the power point. Emily Phillips welcomed everyone to church and drew attention to the announcements printed in the bulletin. Special mention was that the church has a catering coming up and extra hands make less work. If you can help in anyway give Sharon Bromley a call at 519-523-9421. She also mentioned that if you still receive mail with stamps on the envelope, cut them off and save them for the Bible Society and bring them to church with you. Emily introduced Dan Leonard, the day's guest speaker. Dan lit the Christ candle and the other candles on the altar table. The first hymn "Lord Prepare Me to be a Sanctuary" was followed by the opening prayer said in unison. Dan invited everyone to greet one another and to welcome those who were visiting. The next hymn "How Great is Thy Faithfulness" was sung. The scripture reading was from Psalms. The choir sang the anthem "In My Heart there Rings a Melody," directed by Katie Dockstader. The children's story was about Ila's mom asking her to find a round house that was red. It has no windows or doors and had a star in it. lia went to her father for help but her father was too busy. She then went to her brother to see if he could help and he told her that mom should not send you for something that isn't there. Ila went back to mom and she took her on her knee and showed her a red apple and proceeded to cut the apple in half Pope SELF? (John Newton, author of "Amazing Grace") "I have read of many wicked popes, but the worst pope I ever met with is Pope SELF." A Grace Gem Submitted by: Immanuel United Reformed Church, Listowel, ON 519-291-1956 and lo and behold there was a star in the middle of the apple. Dan's message to the congregation was "Weathering the Storm" Dan passed a picture of a lighthouse with a storm brewing in the background among the congregation. He asked if anyone saw the man standing at the door of the lighthouse. When looking at the storm coming you want to tell him to get in out of the storm. The man maintains the lighthouse and ships passing by depend on the lighthouse in storms to guide them through the rocks. Our faith in God is like the lighthouse and He will guide us through life. God has promised our light will shine. God knows how strong we have to be. We just need to pick up the Bible that acts like a telephone, and talk to God. Let God into your heart and He will keep you safe. God gives us strength to face the next day and He will guide us through life. The next hymn was "How Firm a Foundation" was followed by the receiving of the offering, the offertory response "Your work, 0 God, Needs Many Hands," the offertory prayer, prayers for the people, silent prayers and the singing of the Lord's Prayer. The benediction was followed by the singing of "God Be With You 'Til We Meet Again." I would like to thank the town fellas for the long hours preparing the street and for working Saturday. Thank you to the BBIA for their financial and positive support. I'd like to thank the committee for all the hard work, we might be small but we are mighty. Mostly I'd like to thank everyone for coming out. You made the day possible and it was totally awesome. I was walking on top of the world all day. Lorna Fraser of the Blyth Streetfest Committee tea.
