Marion Young has been transferred to Seaforth hospital for recuperation. BLYTH CHURCH Greetings at Blyth United Church, Jan. 31 were Joan and Lavern Clark. Ushering were Laurie Sparling, Nancy Hakkers and Terry Richmond. Floyd Herman was music director and Fred Hakkers ran the Power Point. The UCW is looking for a president and/or co-president for this year. Brett Glousher lit the candles at the front of the church. The call to worship was followed by the choir singing Emmanuel and the congregation joined in. The first hymn was In the Bulb there is a Flower. The children were asked to come to the front for their story time. Rev. Gary Clark had given each child a penny and played a game with them by throwing the pennies at the steps. When everyone had thrown their pennies Rev. Clark dropped his at this feet and said he won. The children said that wasn’t fair and he had changed the rules of the game. He showed the children how to solve the problem by talking about it with each other. They said a prayer and, along with the congregation, sang and signed the words to I Know Your Light. They have been learning this song the past few Sundays. Ally Glousher carried the candle downstairs as the children went for their time of worship and fellowship. The scripture was Luke 4:21-30. The choir san Amazing Grace. Rev. Clark’s message to the adults was Relationships, Marriage = Divorce. More than half the marriages in Canada end up in divorce. Often if people just listen to one another and talk about the problem it could be resolved. The next hymn was O God Our Help in Ages Past.
