Miller) “Whatever He says to you--do it!” John 2:5 How can we know what Jesus says? We cannot hear His voice as the servants at the wedding heard it. He speaks now to us in His Word , and the reverent heart may always hear what He says as the sacred pages are prayerfully pondered. He speaks in the conscience that is kept tender by loyal obeying. He speaks in the providence which brings the present duty to our hand. There never is any real uncertainty as to what He says, if we are truly intent on knowing His will. “Whatever He says to you--do it!” It is the doing which is important. We should never ask questions nor make suggestions, when Jesus has spoken--the one thing for us is obedience. We should never ask what the consequences may be, or what it may cost us--we are simply to obey. Jesus knows why He wants us to do the thing--and that should be reason enough for us. “If you love Me, you will keep My commandments.” John 14:15 A Grace Gem Submitted by: Immanuel United Reformed Church, Listowel, ON 519-291-1956 Though a fire agreement between Central Huron and North Huron proved to be a contentious issue prior to the last municipal election, such will not be the case this time around as council has signed a six- year fire service agreement. The motion to approve the agreement was passed at council’s Nov. 12 committee of the whole meeting. While Councillor Brian Barnim questioned entering a six-year deal when then it will bind the next council, CAO Peggy Van Mierlo- West noted the originally proposed deal was to be six years in length but Central Huron tried a one-year test period. Mayor Jim Ginn noted the agreement has proved to be “contentious” in the past but that there is an “out clause” if Central Huron needs it.

By Marilyn Craig Call 523-9318 From Marilyn’s Desk Cable uses Dickens for service Greeting worshippers at Blyth United Church on Sunday, Nov. 17 were Gwen Papple and Marilyn Craig. Ushering were Brenda and Lori Brooks and Nicole Kerr. Floyd Herman was music director and Connor Brooks ran the power point. Pastor Sandra Cable welcomed everyone to church and drew everyone’s attention to the announcements printed in the bulletin and rolling on the power point. She made special mention that the ladies were taking order for meat pies for January 2014. Call Joann MacDonald if you wish to order. Rev. Cable lit the Christ candle on the altar table. The call to worship was repeated responsively followed by the singing of the response, “Behold, Behold, I Make All Things New.” The prayer of approach was said responsively followed by the singing of The Lord’s Prayer. The first hymn was the first two verses of “This is the Day”. The first scripture reading was from 2 Thessalonians 3: 6-13. The children were asked to come to the front for their story time. Pastor Cable showed the children a doll she had brought with her. She showed them that it was a doll within a doll. She showed them that there were many jobs in the church that are done by many different people and many different ages. She also told them that Sunday in the United Church was a day to celebrate children and show them how special they are and that they are important to the structure of the church as they are the future. She gave each one of the children a treat to show how they are appreciated. The children said a prayer along with the congregation. The children went downstairs for their time of fellowship while the congregation sang the last two verses of the hymn, “This is the Day.” Floyd Herman told a short history of the anthem, “Amazing Grace” that the choir was going to sing. It was a contemporary version of the song. The prayer of illumination was repeated in unison. The Gospel reading was from Luke 22: 5-19. Pastor Cable’s message to the congregation was “Finding Grace”. Pastor Cable started her message with a quote from Charles Dickens’ A Tale of Two Cities. “It was the best of times, it was the worst of times.” Many of us give up trying when we fear that the world will end tomorrow. Paul tells the people to have faith and it is everyone’s responsibility to have faith. Jesus taught us that beauty won’t last. He mentioned the temple being made of gold and being shiny would fade and become dull. Pastor Cable asked the congregation what worries us about the world today? The environment, the world situation, our governments that can’t agree and many other things that worry us. We should trust in God’s promises and that it is up to us to remain faithful. People give of their time and talents to help with maintaining the church and helping others. It is up to us to put our trust in God and that He will carry us through. Emily Phillips took over the rest of the service. The hymn “O for a Thousand Tongues to Sing” was sung followed by the receiving of the offering, the singing of the response “What Can I Do” and the prayer of dedication. The last hymn, “The Church is Wherever” was sung followed by the blessing and the singing of the “Three Fold Amen.” Everyone was invited for coffee, treats and fellowship.
