(Shawn Loughlin photo) Chocolate teaches jealousyUshering worshippers at BlythUnited Church on Sunday, Oct. 2were Arletta Hallahan, David Onn,Laurie Sparling and Lori Brooks.Floyd Herman was music director. Emily Phillips introduced the guest speaker, Colin Snyder from Varna/Goshen United Churches. Emily drew everyone’s attention to the announcements printed in the bulletin. Special attention that the ladies will be making turkey pies on Oct. 19. Call Joann MacDonald if you wish to order. Another event she drew our attention to was the fall supper of roast beef and all the trimmings on Oct. 29 from 4:30 to 7 p.m. Tickets are $14 for adults and $6 for children six to 12. Any member of the stewards have tickets or call 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, “Give to Us Laughter”. Emily Philips read the scripture from Genesis 37: 3-11 followed by the response, “Your Word is a Lamp for My Feet and a Light for My Path.” The children were asked to come to the front for their story time. Colin had a bag with him and gave the children each a small chocolate bar. When everyone had one he then pulled out a big chocolate bar forhimself. The children said that itwasn’t fair that he got the big one.He traded with one of the childrenand when she opened it, it was empty. The children were all jealous of him having the big bar but we often don’t know what is in the other bar. He told the children that this was like Joseph’s brothers. They were jealous of him because their father loved Joseph best. God wants us to be happy with what we are and not be jealous of what we don’t have. The children repeated a prayer and went down to Sunday School for their time of fellowship. The choir sang the anthem, “Beautiful Dreamer” written by Stephen Foster. It was published after he died. Colin’s message to the adults was “Faith and Family Feuds.” Jacob loved Joseph more than his other children. Jacob had a robe of many colours made for Joseph. The brothers claimed it was a coat for a king and they resented Joseph forhaving it. Joseph tells his brothersabout his dreams. That they would NEWS FROM BLYTH The transforming power of the Spirit! (J.C. Ryle, “The Lord’s Garden”) “To all those in Rome who are loved by God and called to be saints.” Romans 1:7 Believers are separated from the world by the effectual working of the Holy Spirit. The Spirit calls them out from the world, and separates them as effectually as if a wall were built between them and it. He puts in them... new hearts, new minds, new tastes, new desires, new sorrows, new joys, new wishes, new pleasures, new longings. He gives them... new eyes, new ears, new affections, new opinions. He makes them new creatures. They are born again--and with a new birth they begin a new existence. Mighty indeed is the transforming power of the Spirit! A Grace Gem Submitted by: Immanuel United Reformed Church, Listowel, ON 519-291-1956 Student council nominees named By Courtney Bachert This week has been great at Blyth Public School. Last week nominees were chosen for the student council. Kathryn C. is acclaimed as our new Prime Minister. Student council speeches were this Monday and the election to decide who is the treasurer, deputy prime minister, secretary, social convenor and the class representatives was to be held Tuesday. We day was amazing! Ten students from Grade 6-8 went to Toronto and everyone had an awesome time learning what we can do about issues like poverty and how we can change our attitude from “me to we.” Different singers were there like Joe Jonas and Nelly Furtado to help get students motivated. If you would like to know more you can go online to their website at: www.metowe.com This week the Senior Kindergarten students completed their month-long unit on the book I Went Walking by Sue Williams. They have been looking and studying each of the words within this pattern book and arranging them into the correct order so the book looks and sounds like it is supposed to. Literacy centres where they match the animal with the correct colour word, enact the story sequence using puppets, choose the correct magnetic letters to print key words within the story, practise printing words within the story using the correct formation/pencil grip and assemble puzzles of animals featured within the storybook have made up our Language study. They graphed the September weather and found that we had lots of sunny days. They also have been reviewing the numbers one to five and learned a number chant. Next week they begin their huge colour unit called “Colour FALL” where they spend a day celebrating, exploring, creating and discovering information about each colour within the colour wheel. The Junior Kindergarten students continued on with their unit on Blyth Bears. They concentrated on the letter “B” and the sound it creates whenever it is present within a word. They also sorted bears into three sizes of small, medium and large, and they concentrated on the story of Goldilocks and The Three Bears and re-enacted the story using both fancy headbands/props that children wear and puppets. Another thing they did was categorize bears into pattern families and made them caves that matched the patterns on their overalls. They sang many bear songs and Happy birthday to Margaret Wasson who will celebrate Oct. 8 and Jeffery Walden, Oct. 9. Happy anniversary to Kim (Craig) and Mark Hornyak who celebrate Oct. 10. Happy Thanksgiving everyone. The weatherman is promising us good weather after all these rainy days. This would be a good weekend to go for a drive and take the camera along as the trees are turning their bright and beautiful colours.
