By Deb Hakkers
We thank everyone for their
concern for Mom’s well being.
Thank you for your cards, inquiries
and prayers. She is still on eighth
floor General Surgery in University
Hospital, London. Although the road
to recovery will be long, she is
slowly and steadily headed in the
right direction.
If you want to add something to
From Marilyn’s Desk you can still
leave it on mom’s answering
machine or call Fred at Tasty Treats
to Go Or Stay and leave a message. I
will have to ask that anything to be
added, be in by Sunday night as I
will have to get it ready then, due to
my work schedule.
Happy birthday to Larry Blake on
July 2; Stephen Thompson, Roy
Young and Eileen Barrie, July 3; and
Brenda Brooks, July 7.

Rev. Gary Clark welcomed
everyone to Blyth United Church on
Sunday, June 27.
The call to worship was followed
by the first hymn, “Come In and Sit
Down”. Scripture was from Psalm
77: 1-10, “The dis-ease is felt.”
Children’s Time was followed by the
second hymn, “I Am Walking On the
Path of Peace”. Gary’s message was,
“Got Health”, the first in his Vital
Signs series.
The choir anthem was, “Where No
One Stands Alone”. The next hymn
was, “Come and Find the Quiet”.
This was followed by the offering,
the offertory hymn, offertory prayer,
prayers for the world, and The
Lord’s Prayer. The last hymn,
“Jesus’ Hands were Kind Hands”
was followed by the Commissioning
and Benediction and “Go Now In
Peace”.

The value of choice devotional reading
(J.R. Miller)
“Your Word is a lamp for my feet and a light on my path.” Psalm 119:105
Nothing is more helpful and practical in Christian living — than the habit of
getting a verse or phrase of Scripture into the mind and heart in the morning. Its
influence stays through the day, weaving itself into all the day’s thoughts and
words and experiences.
Every verse in the Bible is meant to help us to live — and a good devotional book
opens up the precious teachings which are folded up in Scripture.
A devotional book, which takes a Scripture text, and so opens it for us in the
morning — that all day long it helps us to live, becoming a true lamp for our feet,
and a staff to lean upon when the way is rough — is the very best help we can
possibly have. What we need in a devotional book which will bless our lives — is
the application of the great teachings of Scripture — to common, daily practical
life.
