(Jim Brown photo) Help makes work easyGreeting worshippers at BlythUnited Church on Sunday, Oct. 23were Lori and Connor Brooks.Ushering were David Onn, ArlettaHallahan and Terry Richmond. Lynda McGregor was filling in for Floyd Herman as music director. Emily Phillips was in charge of the service in the absence of Rev. Gary Clark. She welcomed everyone to church. Emily drew everyone’s attention to the announcements in the bulletin with special mention to the fall supper on Oct. 29 from 4:30 to 7 p.m. Call Cliff Snell or any member of the stewards for tickets. Call Joann MacDonald if you wish to order meat pies. Also the Sunday School is collecting nickels for Nicaragua to buy uniforms for the children to attend school. The call to worship was “Where Two or Three are Gathered.” The first hymn, “Come In Come In and Sit Down” was followed by the prayer of approach. The children were asked to come to the front for their story time. Emily asked the children to just call her grandma. She asked the children what they thought of their grandmothers and why they were fun to be with. Some answers were, sleepovers, making cookies, drawing pictures and playing in the hot tub. Emily told them when we work together like baking cookies there isn’t muchmess as if they were doing it bythemselves.The church is like that too.Everyone is working together to prepare the lunch today after the service. It doesn’t matter whether we are small or big if we all work together it makes the task easier. The children went down to Sunday School for their time of fellowship. The scripture readings were from 1st Samuel 16: 6-13 and the second reading was from Mark 10:13-16. The response was “Your Word is a Lamp for My Feet and a Light for My Path” was sung. The next hymn, “Lord Speak to Me” was sung. Emily’s message to the adults was Why is salvation by faith? (Thomas Watson, “Body of Divinity”) “For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith — and this not from yourselves, it is the gift of God — not by works, so that no one can boast.” Ephesians 2:8-9 To exclude all glorying in the creature. Faith is a humble grace. If salvation were by repentance or works, a man would say, “It is my righteousness which has saved me!” But if it is of faith, where is boasting? Faith fetches all from Christ — and gives all the glory to Christ! God’s believing people are a humble people. “Be clothed with humility.” God’s people shrink into nothing in their own thoughts. David cries out, “I am a worm, and not a man!” Though a saint, though a king — yet a worm! When Moses’face shined, he covered it with a veil. When God’s people shine most in grace — they are coved with the veil of humility. Abraham the father of the faithful, confesses, “I am nothing but dust and ashes.” “God resists the proud.” Surely, God will not take to be with Himself in glory, such as whom He resists.. God’s believing people are a willing people. Though they cannot serve God perfectly — they serve Him willingly. They do not grudge God a little time spent in His worship. They do not murmur at sufferings. They will go through a sea and a wilderness — if God calls. “Your people shall be a willing people.” This spontaneity and willingness is from the attractive power of God’s Spirit. The Spirit does not force — but sweetly draws the will. This willingness makes all our services acceptable. God sometimes accepts of willingness without the work — but never the work without the willingness. God’s believing people are a consecrated people. The have “holiness to the Lord” written upon them. “You are a holy people to the Lord your God.” God’s people are separated from the world — and sanctified by the Spirit. The priests under the law were not only to wash in the laver — but were arrayed with glorious apparel. This was typical, to show that God’s people are not only washed from gross sins — but adorned with holiness of life. They bear not only God’s name — but His image!Holiness is God’s stamp; if He does not see this stamp upon us, He will not own us for His believing people.

Ms Badham is very proud of the senior girl soccer players at Blyth Public School. The girls were undefeated on Oct. 18 and brought home yet another championship banner. Their motivation was provided by Kathryn who inspired all by claiming that this was the last time they would play as a Blyth Public School soccer team. Ms Badham also sends her thanks to Kim who took on the lead coaching job during practices and on tournament day. Way to go girls! Also, the junior girls soccer team won two games. They had 11 players so every girl was on the field for the whole tournament. They tried their best and had lots of fun. Both boys’ soccer teams showed great team work and effort. Mrs. Decker coached the junior boys soccer and said they came away a little dirty and tired but had an amazing time. Mr. Gole coached the senior boys team and said every game came down to the final minutes with just a one-goal differences with Blyth coming out of the losing end each time. The cross-country meet was also a huge success. Everyone finished the race and had a great time. As promised, the answer to last week’s math question: 2+2+2+2+2+2+2+2+2+2+2+2+2+2 -2+2x0 is 26. Almost every Grade 8 student said that the answer was 0. But as the question asked, follow the orders and operations of BEDMAS and then you will get 26. C’est l’halloween in all of the French classes as they learn spooky and fun vocabulary. The library has some new history and fiction books which Mr. Brown thinks are pretty cool. Some of the Grade 8 students worked as the Witches Walk on the weekend. The event went well and they all had fun. The kindergartens are still having fun with all their “colour fall” days, dressing in completely orange or brown or some other colours. The grade 1 students went to the theatre last week and watched The Wind in the Willows. They also read a book called Apple Trouble and learned about the characteristics of a narrative. They learned that there is a problem and a solution. The Grade 2 students went to the theatre with the Grade 1 students to watch the performance as well. They’re also practising their addition skills with “Mad Minute”. They’ve had a lot of fun with their Ant unit, which they just finished off last week. They are also working on jot note skills which they’ll use to help finish their projects.
