Blyth to host ‘Kids in the Kitchen’ summer campBlyth United Church and
Egmondville United Church will
host a new kind of summer daycamp next week as Kathy Douglas,Youth Minister with the Huron-PerthPresbytery of the United Church,
will be running Kids in the Kitchen.
The program, designed toestablish a healthy relationshipbetween children and their food, willrun in Blyth from July 22 to 26 and
Egmondville from Aug. 12 to 16 and
‘costs’ a suggested donation of $15to $30 per child. Laura Peach, a nutrition anddietetics student from The
University of Western Ontario in
London is working with Douglas to
help create that healthy relationship.
While Douglas has been running day
camps for four years through the
presbytery, Peach is a newcomer
looking to pair with Douglas to
create the program.
“I have been running a travelling
day camp in Huron and Perth
County for four years,” Douglas
explained. “Young adults get paid to
do it. There are government grants
and the church kicks in money and
we pay them to help run the camp.”
The camps haven’t been to Blyth
before because the local churches do
a good job of providing those kinds
of opportunities Douglas said.
Peach, however, hasn’t been a part of
those camps.
“Laura came to me out of the blue
and asked if I would be interested in
running a cooking camp for kids,”
she said. “She wanted to do a
speciality camp focused on food and
nutrition. She’s putting the whole

Cable at United

Ushering worshippers at Blyth
United Church on Sunday, July 14
were Gwen Papple and Cliff Snell.
Floyd Herman was music director.
David Onn welcomed everyone to
church as Pastor Sandra Cable is on
holidays. He drew attention was
paid to the announcements printed
in the bulletin. Special attention
was paid to the Kids in the Kitchen
July 22-26.
The call to worship was the
singing of the hymn “Come All You
People” through twice and the
responsive reading. The prayer of
approach followed. David asked the
congregation what the meaning of
“on the same page” meant. Not
everyone is the same, we speak
different languages, we are
different colours and we all have
different homes, but to God we are
all the same and children of God.
The next hymn was “To Show by

The Lord’s portion
(Charles Spurgeon)
“The Lord’s portion is His people.” Deuteronomy 32:9
How are they His portion?
First, by His own sovereign election. He chose them, and set His love upon them.
He chose them altogether apart from any goodness in them at the time, or any
goodness which He foresaw in them. He had mercy on whom He would have
mercy, and ordained a chosen company unto eternal life. Therefore, are they His by
His unconstrained election.
They are not only His by choice--but by purchase. He has bought and paid for them
to the utmost farthing--hence there can be no dispute about His title to them. The
Lord’s portion has been fully redeemed, not with corruptible things, as with silver
and gold--but with the precious blood of the Lord Jesus Christ! See the blood-mark
upon all the elect, invisible to human eye--but known to Christ, for “the Lord knows
those who are His!” He forgets none of those whom He has redeemed! He counts
the sheep for whom He laid down His life, and well remembers the people for
whom He gave Himself.
They are also His by conquest. What a battle He had in us--before we would be
won! How long He laid siege to our hearts! How often He sent us terms of
surrender! But we barred our gates, and fortified our walls against Him. Do we not
remember that glorious hour--when He conquered our hearts? When He placed His
cross against the wall, and scaled our ramparts, planting the blood-red flat of His
omnipotent mercy on our strongholds? Yes, we are, indeed--the conquered captives
of His omnipotent love!
