The Citizen, 2012-05-10, Page 3THE CITIZEN, THURSDAY, MAY 10, 2012. PAGE 3. Our Blyth office will be closed on May 10 and 11 while we move. Our new address will be 413 QUEEN ST., BLYTH (southwest corner of Queen & Dinsley St.) Sorry for any inconvenience The Citizen staff It will cost you something! (J.C. Ryle) “And anyone who does not carry his cross and follow Me, cannot be My disciple.” Luke 14:27 Do you wish your soul to be saved? Then remember, you must choose who you will serve. You cannot serve both God and mammon. You cannot be on two sides at once. You cannot be a friend of Christ--and a friend of the world at the same time. You must come out from the people of this world, and be separate; you must put up with much ridicule, trouble, and opposition--or you are lost forever. You must be willing to think and do things which the world considers foolish, and to hold opinions which are only held by a few. It will cost you something?The stream is strong--and you have to stem it. The way is narrow and steep--and it is no use saying it is not. But depend on it, there can be no saving religion without sacrifices and self-denial. “Therefore come out from them and be separate, says the Lord. Touch no unclean thing, and I will receive you. I will be a Father to you, and you will be My sons and daughters, says the Lord Almighty.” 2 Corinthians 6:17-18 A Grace Gem Submitted by: Immanuel United Reformed Church, Listowel, ON 519-291-1956 Whether it’s a tan, a haircut, highlights or beard trim, we can help keep everyone looking great!

(Denny Scott photo) Jonah and the whale explained Greeting worshippers at Blyth United Church on Sunday, May 6 were Barb and Doug Howson. Ushering were Brenda Brooks, Donna Moore and Nicole Kerr. Floyd Herman was music director and Fred Hakkers ran the power point. David Onn welcomed everyone to church in the absence of Rev. Gary Clark who was attending London conference weekend. There was a moment of silence to prepare for worship. The call to worship was repeated responsively followed by the first hymn, “Jesus You Have Come” followed by the prayer of approach and the singing of The Lord’s Prayer. The children were asked tocome to the front for their story timeduring the singing of the first twoverses of the hymn, “Jesus Bids UsShine.” David told the children of the story of Jonah and the Whale. God had asked Jonah to go to Nineveh to repent and change their ways. Jonah didn’t want to do what God asked him to, so he stowed away on a boat to Tarshish. While out at sea there was a severe storm and the ship was in trouble and the sailors were afraid. The storm keptgetting worse and the sailors didn’tknow what to do. The captain foundJonah asleep and wondered how hecould sleep. Jonah admitted that he was responsible for the storm because he didn’t do what God had asked him to do. He told the sailors to throw him overboard and the storm would quiet down. Jonah was thrown overboard and a whale swallowed him up.
