By Marilyn Craig Call 523-9318 From Marilyn’s Desk Love always to be given: Clark 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.
