BLYTH UNITED CHURCHGreeting at Blyth United Churchon Sunday, April 18 were Barb andTerry Richmond. Ushering wereEmily Phillips, Terry Richmond,Karen Glousher and LaurieSparling. Floyd Herman was MusicDirector and Fred Hakkers ran thepower point. Reid Button lit thecandles at the front of the church.
Rev. Gary Clark welcomed
everyone to church on this third
Sunday of Easter. He drew
everyone’s attention to an
announcement in the booklet of all
the meetings coming up in the next
week.
Floyd Herman played the Introit
to get attendees ready for worship.
The first hymn “Hallelujah,
Hallelujah” was followed by the
Prayer of Approach and the Call to
Worship, “The Brush” which was
sung by a guest soloist Richard
Lucas.
The children were asked to come
to the front for their storytime. Rev.
Clark asked the children how they
learned a song? Some answers were
to listen carefully, have Mom sing it
or sing it yourself slowly. Rev. Clark
told them that we learn songs about
God in the same way. He said a
prayer with them and the
congregation joining in. The
children went downstairs for their
time of fellowship and fun.
The next hymn, “And on This
Path” was followed by the scripture
from John 21: 1-19. The choir joined
Richard Lucas in the anthem, “Once
Upon a Tree.”
Rev. Clark’s message to the adults
was, “Let Us Sing Our Song.”We all
have our songs to sing. Our songs
show our Faith. Some of us sing,

It was a quiet week at Blyth Public
School. With the snow off the
ground the kids have been having
fun on the playground and on the
soccer fields.
As a school, we would ask parents
to be sure your children have a
second pair of shoes for inside so the
school does not become muddy.
Thank you to those parents who
have already done so, as it’s been a
great help for our custodians.
The Grade 7/8s have been working
on black and white art sketches of 3-
D objects. They are also working on
a writing assignment. They need to
write an expository magazine article
focusing on the presentation and two
more pieces that are either a
narrative, a descriptive or
persuasive.
In math the Grade 8s are in the
middle of a unit on probability. In
gym the Grade 7/8s are creating new
games to play. Also all of the Grade
7 and 8s have created a Google doc’s
account for school purposes only.
This will help the students
accomplish things faster because
they can access them at home and at
school.
The Grade 7/8s have also finished
their book study on the novel,
“The Giver” by Lois Lowry.
A reminder to the Grade 8s that
they need to have their grad pictures
in by April 26 if they wish to order
any.
The SK class is beginning to study
Canadian animals. The students will
concentrate on non-fiction materials
to learn facts about the animals. As
scientists, they will organize the
information to learn about the
expository form of writing and
reports. Their studies will also
connect to math and learning about
money.
In JK, they are continuing to enjoy
reading out loud to help Mrs. Roe
learn about the comprehension
strategies. They are becoming
experts at inferring information by
using the picture and making
connections to the world, themselves
and to other text. They have enjoyed
“Knuffle Bunny” and “Knuffle
Bunny Too” by Mo Williams. Look
for these books in our school library.
There must be a difference
(J.C. Ryle, “The Gospel of Matthew” 1856)
“You are the salt of the earth.” Matthew 5:13
“You are the light of the world.” Matthew 5:14
Surely, if words mean anything, we are meant to learn from these two figures, that
there must be something marked, distinct, and peculiar about our character,if
we are true Christians.
It will never do to idle through life, thinking and living like others, if we mean to
be owned by Christ as His people.
Have we grace? Then it must be seen.
Have we the Spirit? Then there must be fruit.
Have we any saving religion? Then there must be a difference of habits, tastes,
and turn of mind, between us and those who think only of the world.
It is perfectly clear that true Christianity is something more, than being baptized
and going to church.
