Gary Long, CAO/Clerk Township of North Huron TOWNSHIP OF NORTH HURON BY-LAW NO. 39-2012 REGULATION AND CONTROL OF TRAFFIC A cup that all must drink (J.C. Ryle, “The Gospel of Matthew” 1856) “He fell with His face to the ground and prayed” Matthew 26:39 Prayer is the best practical remedy that we can use in time of trouble. We see that Christ Himself prayed, when His soul was sorrowful. All true Christians ought to do the same. Trouble is a cup that all must drink in this world of sin.We are “born to trouble as the sparks fly upward.”We cannot avoid it. Of all creatures, none is so vulnerable as man. Our bodies, our minds, our families, our business, our friends-- are all so many doors through which afflictions will come in. The holiest saints can claim no exemption from it. Like their Master, they are often “men of sorrow.” But what is the first thing to be done in time of trouble? We must pray. Like Job, we must fall down and worship. Like Hezekiah, we must spread our matters before the Lord. The first one we must turn to for help, must be our God. We must tell all our sorrow to our Father in Heaven. We must believe confidently that nothing is too trivial or minute to be laid before Him, so long as we do it with entire submission to His will. It is the mark of faith to keep nothing back from our best Friend. The thorn in the flesh shall either be removed--or grace to endure it will be given to us.

We have Gift Certificates for that hard-to-buy-for person on your Christmas list Greeting worshippers at Blyth United Church on Sunday, Nov. 18 were Brenda Brooks and Donna Moore. Ushering were Cliff Snell, Terry Richmond, Brenda Brooks and Donna Moore. Floyd Herman was music director. Rev. Sharon Lohnes from Dungannon Church was guest speaker. The announcements were given from the November bulletin with special mention that the Sunday school will be hosting a lunch on Sunday, Nov. 25 with proceeds for the purchase of new toys to replace some that have broken. The call to worship was the singing of two hymns, “All Who Are Thirsty” and “This is the Day” followed by the prayer of approach and the singing of The Lord’s Prayer. The first hymn was, “This is God’s Wondrous World.” The children were asked to come to the front and Rev. Lohnes asked them what was a good thing that happened to them this past week. Many answers came forth. Winning a hockey game, a new brother and so forth. She told the children that sometimes we don’t like to do the things that lead up to the good things that happen to us, like all the practice we have to do to play hockey. We need to get through the bad things in order to get to the good things. She said a prayer and the children went down to Sunday school for their time of fellowship. The scripture was from Matthew 13: 24- 30. The choir sang an old familiar hymn, “How Great Thou Art”. Rev. Lohnes’ message to the congregation was “Be the Miracle.” Rev. Lohnes gave a little bit of her background that she grew up in Fordwich area and she is a movie buff so this message was right down her alley. The movie that she referred to was Bruce Almighty. The theme of the movie was that Bruce was not getting the things he prayed for. After complaining that God was not doing His job, Bruce was given the opportunity to answer the prayers of others. He decided that if he answered yes to all the prayers, this would be a good thing but he soon learned that this was not possible. This caused a lot of anger. We viewed a clip of the movie. Bruce finds out that it doesn’t matter how bad things get they will get better by listening to others and that miracles will happen. God tells us to be the miracle.
