Clark tells his own parable Greeting worshippers at Blyth United Church on Sunday, June 17 were Barb and Terry Richmond. Ushering were Terry Richmond, Laurie Sparling, Brenda Brooks and Donna Moore. Floyd Herman was music director and Fred and Deb Hakkers were running the power point. Emily Phillips, in Rev. Clark’s absence, welcomed everyone to church. She also wished all the fathers in attendance Happy Father’s Day. She drew everyone’s attention to the announcements printed in the bulletin with special mention that there will be no church service at Blyth United on Sunday, June 24 as they will be joining the community church service at the Blyth Public School. The call to worship, “All Who are Thirsty” was sung followed by the prayer of approach and the first hymn, “Come In, Come In and Sit Down.” Emily told the congregation that the children are allowed to come to conference weekend with their parents and participate in a mini- Bible Vacation School for the weekend. The scripture was from Matthew 18: 2-6 which Emily read from her father’s Bible. The choir sang an anthem, “Silver Haired Daddy of Mine” which was one of the first recordings that Gene Audrey had recorded. The message to the adults was, “Wheel Wisdom”. The congregation watched a video of Rev. Gary Clark’s speech to London Conference. Rev. Clark told the story of himself and a 13-year-old boy setting out on their bikes to ride to Grand Bend for the conference. Rev. Clark told the story of riding along and he took the lead to Londesborough which was a fairly even place. The 13-year-old took the lead the next time to Clinton and it was a much greater pace. Finally, Rev. Clark showed the boy the way they were going to travel and they set out with the boy away in the lead. He sometimes looked back to see if Rev. Clark was coming. They picked up another rider in Bayfield and away they went. Rev. Clark at the back again, the riders in the front kept looking back to see if he was still coming. They finally arrived at the destination out of breath because they had been riding into the wind. Rev. Clark’s message to conference was that if we show the young people the way they will get us to the place we are going.

As a special event, organizers will be releasing Monarch butterflies. Live butterflies will add a truly magical and memorable addition to the special day, while increasing the butterfly population in nature. The butterflies arrive individually packaged as young adults, ready to begin a new life. When they are released they return to nature to lay eggs and/or migrate. Each butterfly is hand raised and will be delivered as a young adult, ready to begin a new life, the day before the service, complete with instructions and individual release boxes as well as the butterfly Indian legend. Butterflies are the universal symbol of hope and a new beginning. Davara Studio have graciously formed and donated 54 butterflies out of pottery clay and the students from Grade 1-6 have painted them. These will be an added feature in the gardens. The service is at 2 p.m. at the east end of Drummond Street. Bring a lawn chair. Refreshments will be served. This would also be a great opportunity to walk the Greenway Trail. Continued on page 15
