Greeting worshippers at Blyth
United Church on Food Bank
Sunday, Aug. 7 were Terry
Richmond and Marilyn Craig.
Ushering were David Onn and
Donna Moore. Marilyn Scott was
pianist and Katie Dockstader, choir
director. Lorie Falconer ran the
power point. Barb Richmond
welcomed everyone to church on
such a beautiful day. A special
welcome was extended to those who
were visiting and attending the
Bonanza Weekend at the Blyth
Festival. The flower arrangements
were from the funeral of Kenneth
Machan.
Barb drew everyone's attention to
the announcements printed in the
bulletin with special attention to the
catering coming up on Aug. 19. The
ladies would welcome any help in
preparing the food to helping the day
of the catering. The catering
committee is also looking for
donations of apples for making
pies.
Barb lit the Christ candle on the
altar table. The first hymn was "Lord
Prepare Me to be a Sanctuary." The
opening prayer was said
responsively with sign language in
the response. Rev. Gary Clark
invited everyone to greet one
another by saying their first name.
The next hymn was "Fight the Good
Fight." The scripture lesson was
from Luke 12: 4-7, 13-21. The choir,

under the direction of Katie
Dockstader, sang the anthem "For
the Beauty of the Earth."
Rev. Clark's message to the
congregation was "Food for the
Soul — The Last Donnelly Standing."
Rev. Clark had a drum and said that
the skin on the drum needed to be
tight in order for the drum to sound
right. If the skin is too loose the
drum makes a deadened sound. God
wants us to be like the drum with a
tight tension. Robert Donnelly
would not let himself be bullied.
Donnelly bought a house in town
and said good morning to everyone
passing by. He was a work horse and
had no room for God. Donnelly was
like the foolish farmer in the
scripture. He wondered what he was
going to do with all his wealth. He
was all about himself.
The scriptures are asking us to
reflect on our lives. We are the rich
farmer and we will be wise and
know the need for forgiveness. We
are not prefect. We need to put God
in our lives.
The hymn "Just As I Am" was
sung followed by a "Minute for
Missions," the receiving of the
offering, the offertory response,
"Your Work, 0 God Needs Many
Hands," the offertory prayer, the
prayers for the people, silent prayers
and the singing of the Lord's Prayer.
The last hymn "Where Cross the
Crowded Ways of Life" was
followed by the benediction and the
singing of "God Be With You till We
meet Again". Everyone was invited
to stay for coffee and fellowship.
Garden group to become official
By Denny Scott
The Citizen
The Friends of the Village of
Blyth's relationship with North
Huron Township is set to be made
official at council's Aug. 22
meeting.
A memorandum of understanding
between the group, which will be a
non -township committee and
volunteer group, and the township
included responsibilities for the
Friends of the Village as well as
formal documents for volunteers
and listed the benefits from being
associated with the municipality.
The document was presented during
council's Aug. 2 meeting.
According to the document, the
group's major aims are going to be
to assist and support the gardens and
plantings in Blyth, promote planting
in parks and natural environments
and raise funds for projects outside
of the North Huron budget for parks.
The three-page memorandum
includes waiver forms that
Morning devotion
(James Alexander, "My Brother's Keeper" 1838)
"Let us fix our eyes on Jesus!" Hebrews 12:2.
The habit of early rising is surely a friend to the soul. If it is the best time
for study, it is also the best time for devotion. When prayer and praise are
neglected in the morning, they are commonly neglected all day. If you let
the world get the start of your soul in the morning, you will seldom
overtake it all day.
Morning devotion...
sweetens every succeeding hour, pours a balm on the conscience, gives a
pleasant savour to business, locks the door against wicked thoughts,
furnishes matter for pious reflection all the day.
It is better to go from prayer to business --than from business to prayer.
Fellowship with God prepares for fellowship with our fellow creatures --
and for every event, whether pleasing or painful.

minors, their parents, need to sign to
become part of the group.
North Huron Council directed that
the document be prepared to be
adopted by bylaw during its Aug. 22
meeting.
