Greeting worshippers at Blyth
United Church on Mother’ Day were
Brenda Brooks and Terry Richmond.
Ushering were Lissa Kolkman,
Brenda Brooks, Arletta Hallahan
and Nicole Kerr. Floyd Herman was
the music director and Fred Hakkers
ran the power point. Cheryl Cronin
welcomed everyone to church on
Mother’s Day. She drew everyone’s
attention to the announcements.
Thursday, May 21 is a potluck
supper at 6:30 p.m. Terry and Barb
Richmond will be showing their
pictures of their trip to Alaska.
Everyone is welcome.
The hymn, “Hey Now! Singing
Hallelujah” was sung. Cheryl read
the minute for missions and a story
of how Mother’s Day was started
and that it is celebrated all over the
world mostly on the second Sunday
in May. Cheryl invited everyone to
greet one another and Floyd Herman
explained that the special music had
been changed as a result of Grant
Sparling Sr. had been taken to
hospital and that Annie and Sarah
Sparling would be singing at a later
date. The hymn, “What a Friend We
Have In Jesus” was sung.
Rev. Clark led the opening prayer
with the sign language. The choir
sang the anthem, “Blessed Be the
Ties That Bind.” The scripture was
from John 15: 9-17. The children
were asked to come to the front for
their story time.
He had a doll with him to explain
to the children that they are never
alone, that someone is always with
them. He demonstrated this by
having the children take the doll
apart and there was another doll
inside. They did this about six times.
He explained to them that their
mother’s love was always in their
heart and that Jesus was the same,
He is always in our hearts. The
children went downstairs for their
time of fellowship.
Rev. Clark’s message to the
congregation was “Mother’s Day,
Seeing Through Her Eyes.” All
through the Gospel of John, Jesus
talks about love. Love is hard when
we know it will not be returned but
takes even a stronger heart to
continue to give love. When we
think of love we think of our
mothers. When we need advice or
when we are hurt, it is often our
mother that we turn to.
When a mother gives birth it is
painful and sometimes a struggle but
the minute the baby is put in the
arms of that mother everything is
forgotten. Adoption has a lot of
paperwork, home visits but when the
children arrive everything is
forgotten.
God is like a mother, He can wipe
away all the things we have done
wrong. No matter how old we are,
mothers are always willing to
forgive and forget. The world needs
to see that God is compassionate.
Mothers show us God by forgiving
and forgetting. The offering was
received followed by the singing of
the offertory response, “For Food in
a World”, the offertory prayer,
prayers for the people and the
singing of the Lord’s Prayer. The last
hymn, “Jesus Bids Us Shine” was
sung followed by the blessing and
the singing of the choral anthem.
Everyone was invited to stay for
coffee, treats and fellowship.

I remember two things
“Grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ”
2 Peter 3:18
At age 82,John Newton, the author of the hymn, ‘Amazing Grace’, said, “My
memory is nearly gone, but I remember two things--that I am a great sinner--
and that Christ is a great Saviour!”
