BIA sets end date for postcard photograph contest
The Blyth Business Improvement
Area (BIA) has put a deadline on its
Postcard photo contest.
BIA Vice-Chair Peter Gusso said
there are currently approximately 20
entries in the contest, some digital,
some printed. He recently took the
contest over from the Gift
Cupboard’s Janice Peters.
While Gusso felt that the contest
should end after the summer, chair
Rick Elliott felt it should be sooner
than that.
“We should take what we have, set
a deadline for the end of April, and
then get them printed so we can have
them for the summer,” Elliott said.
Pastor Gary van Leeuwen, who is
both the treasurer for the BIA and
representative for local churches,
said he was fine with either deadline
of either April 30 or May 31,
provided that there was enough time
to get the products printed and in
stores in time for visitors to the
community in the summer.
A motion was made by Cat
O’Donnell of the Wonky Frog
Studio to set a deadline of April 30
so that members of the BIA could
see the entries at their May meeting
and decide on winners. A prize will
be set for the contest then as well.
Elliott also requested that releases
be drawn up so that the BIA gains
the rights to use any of the
photographs for its own purposes.
To submit entries for the contest,
visit the Part II Bistro or the Station
House Bed and Breakfast or e-mail

I’ll take this one
In what has quickly become a yearly tradition, the Living Water Christian Fellowship hosted a
free community breakfast on Good Friday at Blyth Memorial Hall late last week. Dozens came
out to enjoy the food and fellowship on one of the holiest days on the Christian calendar. Here,

Youth get the Easter Experience
Greeting worshippers at Blyth
United Church on Easter Sunday
April 5 were Tom Cronin and Terry
Richmond. Ushering were Cliff
Snell, Tom Cronin, John and Mary
Lou Stewart. Floyd Herman was
music director and Fred Hakkers ran
the power point.
Deb Hakkers welcomed everyone
to church on Easter Sunday morning
and drew everyone’s attention to the
announcements printed in the
bulletin with special mention that the
Holly Rollers have only two more
pie-making dates until fall. April 15
is the last chance for turkey pies and
April 29 for beef pies. If you wish to
get your summer supply ready
please call Joann MacDonald at 519-
523-9274 to order. She also
reminded everyone that if they knew
of a child that would like assistance
in going to Camp Menesetung to
contact Joan Clark at 519-523-9659
as the UCW has set aside funds to
assist these children. Items for the
summer caterings such as tomato or
apple juice, white or brown sugar,
graham wafer crumbs, etc. can be
left in the basket in the narthex.
These items will greatly help with
the cost of the caterings.
Deb invited everyone to greet one
another. The scripture reading was
from John 20:1-9. The choir’s first
anthem was “ He is Risen,
Hallelujah” their own words of the
events of the week leading up to the
crucifixion. The centring music “My
Love Colours Outside the Lines”
was sung.
Rev. Clark invited the children to
come to the front for the Easter
Experience. He explained to them
that on Friday at the Good Friday
service they had rolled the cloth (the
painting they had been working on
for the last few Sundays) and put it
in the baptismal font representing
the tomb. The children looked in the
font and the cloth was not there. Rev.
Clark explained to the children that
this was the way Mary had felt when
she found the tomb empty and Jesus
was gone.
The children painted the colours
on the sheet which represented the
stories that they had painted for the
last few weeks. Taylor Wharton
painted the colour blue representing
the water. Harrison Bedard painted
the colour yellow representing the
happy face. Tanner Brooks painted
the colour green representing the
leaves of the palm trees. Christina
Hoba painted the colour brown
which represented the bread at the
last supper. Bo Wharton painted the
colour purple which represented the
wine and Lauren Wharton painted
the colour red which represented the
rooster. Easter is a time to
remember.
Rev. Clark asked the children if
they ever heard anyone say “as if”?
He told the children the story of the
rich people who had everything and
the poor people who had nothing.
But even if you are poor and have
nothing you still love your country
the same way the rich people do. As
if we had the power and money we
can do anything. If we believe that
we can do something we will be able
to do it.
The hymn “Thine Be the Glory”
A very great attainment
(William Plumer,“Vital Godliness:
A Treatise on Experimental and Practical Piety” 1864)
It is a very great attainment to lie passive in God’s hands, and know no will but
His.
“It is the LORD. Let Him do what seems good to Him.” 1 Samuel 3:18
“Naked I came from my mother’s womb, and naked I shall return there. The
LORD gave and the LORD has taken away. Blessed be the name of the LORD.”
Job 1:21
“May the Lord’s will be done.” Acts 21:14
“Father, if You are willing, please take this cup of suffering away from Me.
Nevertheless, not My will, but Yours, be done.” Luke 22:42
