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."

Reformed Church,

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.
