NEWS
FROM BLYTH
Greeting worshippers at BlythUnited Church on Sunday, Sept. 25were Myrtle Badley, Lori andTanner Brooks. Ushering were
Andrew Wharton, Nancy Hakkers,
Brenda Brooks and Nicole Kerr.
Floyd Herman was music director.
Rev. Gary Clark welcomed
everyone to church and drew
attention to the announcements
printed in the bulletin. Special
attention to some of the following
were the ladies making pies for the
fall. Call Joann MacDonald if you
wish to order.
The stewards are planning a fall
supper on Saturday, Oct. 29 from
4:30 to 7 p.m. A delicious roast beef
supper with all the trimmings.
Tickets are adults - $14, children six
- 12 years old, $6. Takeout and
delivery available. Tickets are
available from the Stewards or by
calling Cliff Snell.
The call to worship, “Where Two
or Three are Gathered Together”
was sung followed by the prayer of
approach and the first hymn, “Open
My Eyes That I May See”. Lori
Brooks read the scripture from Luke
1: 26-38 followed by the response,
“Your Word is the Lamp for My
Feet and Light for My Path.”
The children were invited to come
to the front for their storytime. Rev.
Clark explained to the childeren that
Jesus was Mary and Joseph’s son.
Mary and Joseph had a plan that
didn’t go right but an angel
appeared to Mary and told her
everything would be alright. He told
the children that is very important to
listen to others and to give them a
hug and tell them that everything
will be alright. The children went
down to Sunday School for their
time of fellowship. The next hymn
was, “We Praise You O Lord”, a
hymn that was written at the time of
union of the churches to form the
United Church.
Rev. Clark’s message to the adults
was “Jesus Had a Family”. Our
children are a gift from God.
Children often watch the way the
adults behave and copy what they
see. Adam and Eve were the first
family and had a relationship with
God. God holds the answer to why
we are here. Mary and Joseph had a
plan that didn’t work out. They hadplanned to be married and then havea family. The angel appeared toMary and told her that everything
would work out. When our plans go
wrong, God is with us. In the older
generation people that had to get
married were looked down on,
especially the girl.
The church in the past has looked
down on people who have children
out of marriage but things are
changing and the church should be
willing to tell peole that it will be
alright.
Children need to have an open
door not a closed door and be told
everything will be alright. Children
are a blessing and we need to listen
to them and ask our questions later.
It only takes one thing to keep
people together and we must make
it a good thing. Love is one of those
good things and the church and its
people should show our love for
others. God is all about love. We
should accept our kids for who they
are and love them as they are.
The choir sang the anthem, “A
Christian Home”. The offering was
received followed by the offeratory
response and the prayer of
dedication. The prayers of thanks
and for the world and the singing of
The Lord’s Prayer were followed by
the last hymn, “Fairest Lord Jesus”,
the commissioning and benediction
and the singing of the Amen
response.
Everyone was invited for coffee
and a time of fellowship.
Oh it is a sweet and holy life!
(Octavius Winslow, “Divine Realities” 1860)
“My times are in Your hand.”Psalm 31:15
Learn to be content with your present lot — with God’s dealings with you, and His
disposal of you.
You are just where His providence has, in its inscrutable, but all wise and righteous
decision, placed you. It may be a painful, irksome, trying position — but it is right. Oh
yes — it is right!
Strive, then, to live a life of daily dependence upon God. Oh it is a sweet and holy life!
It saves... from many a desponding feeling, from many a corroding care, from many an
anxious thought, from many a sleepless night, from many a tearful eye, and from many
an imprudent and sinful scheme.
Thus you shall walk with God through this valley of tears, until you exchange... sorrow
— for joy, suffering — for ease, sin — for purity, labour — for rest, conflict — for
victory, and all earth’s, chequered, gloomy scenes — for the changeless, cloudless
happiness and glory of heaven!
“My times are in Your hand.”Psalm 31:15

Trinity dinner on Oct. 1
By Phaedra Scott
Everyone seems to be settling in
quite well.
Math is underway for the Grade 7
and 8 students. Students in Grade 8
are exploring prime factorization
and multiples of numbers. Jacob of
Grade 8 says that he is having a
great time learning about powers.
The Grade 7/8 class have started
their media literacy unit trying to
understand that all media is
constructed for a purpose and that
each media form has its own
language and conventions. They
have started examining graphic text
and students have begun the process
of creating their own
autobiographical comic strips. Ally
from Grade 8 says that she is having
a blast writing a comic about a fun
time at the beach.
In science, all Grade 7 and 8
students are studying diversity in
living things. They will be focusing
on the plant and animal kingdoms
but students will attempt to examine
microscopic kingdoms as well. If
anyone has any plastic ice cream
containers or larger round margarine
containers with lids that you don’t
want back, the Grade 7/8 class
would surely appreciate them. They
will be looking at some living
organisms and need to be able to
keep them contained.
In Grade 7, students are learning
about powers, exponents, prime and
composite numbers in math. They
are working with mental math and
quick multiplication skills.
