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, By Rachael Snell, Tine Verschaeve and Marion Studhalter 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.
