Ushering were Lori Brooks, Laurie Sparling and Terry Richmond. Floyd Herman was music director and Fred Hakkers ran the power point. Rev. Gary Clark welcomed everyone to church and reminded everyone to look at the announcements printed in the bulletin for January. The call to worship was the hymns, “Will You Come and See the Light” and “I am the Light of the World.” The prayer of approach was followed by the singing of The Lord’s Prayer. The children were asked to come to the front for their story time and after saying a prayer along with the congregation went downstairs for their time of fellowship. The scripture was from Luke 2: 39-52. The choir sang the anthem “Twelve Days of Christmas” revised to a Blyth United Church version. Rev. Clark’s message to the adults was “Get the Scoop: Who Missed the Bus.” The next hymn, “Arise, Your Light Has Come”. The offering was received followed by the offertory response, “In the Bleak Midwinter” and the offertory prayer, the prayers for the people and the silent prayers. The last hymn was “When In Our Music God is Glorified” was followed by the commissioning and benediction and the singing of the response “Emmanuel”. Everyone was invited for coffee and fellowship before returning home.

The Huron County Health Unit’s website has moved. As of Jan. 7, residents can visit the Health Unit’s website at www.huronhealthunit.com While there, they can easily surf around the site and search out the information they are looking for. “The Health Unit has changed how they are getting health information out to those who need it,” says Christina Taylor, Public Health Manager. “All current information has moved to the address. Staff are excited about working on the site to provide ongoing credible and local information.” The health unit’s previous site was attached to the County of Huron’s site. When people visit the old site, they will be redirected to the new site. “We are excited for the future of the health unit’s website” says Taylor. “We strive to meet the needs of Huron County and by improving our website, we are doing just that. The Health Unit isn’t finished with website changes. Those involved will be improving the site over time to ensure it is as user- friendly as possible. Even our faults, our follies and our sins! (J.R. Miller, “Intimate Letters on Personal Problems” 1914) “We know that God causes all things to work together for good to those who love God, to those who are called according to His purpose.” Romans 8:28 We can put into the hands of God, all problems and troubles, even the things which have seemed hard and hurtful--knowing that there is a Hand which will so shape results as to bring out of all the tangles--a beautiful web. Even our faults, our follies and our sins--we may put into the sam Hand if we are truly penitent, and leave them there, knowing that from these, too, some blessing will come to us. It is astonishing how good God is to us, and how He takes whatever we give Him, even the poorest fragments of our obediences, even our mistakes and our sins--and brings something helpful and full of good for us out of them!

By Denny Scott The Citizen Legion to host meatloaf lunch Happy birthday to Marion Young who celebrates Jan. 11, Charlie Shaw, Jan. 12 and Grant Sparling Jr., Jan. 13. Winer has come and so has the snow. This will make the snowmobile riders happy for a day or two. The weatherman is predicting a January thaw so this will take away the snow. Last night was the coldest night of the winter so far. My thermometer was -8°C when I looked out this morning around 8 a.m. and now that 10 a.m. it is -3°C so the temperature is starting to climb. The Blyth Legion Auxiliary are having a meatloaf luncheon on Thursday, Jan. 10 from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. at the Legion Hall. Takeouts are available. Toonie Tuesday is starting the new year on Jan. 22 at the Anglican Church Hall from 11:30 a.m. to 1 p.m. Come out and enjoy the food and fellowship.
