HomeMy WebLinkAboutThe Citizen, 2009-04-30, Page 3THE CITIZEN, THURSDAY, APRIL 30, 2009. PAGE 3. The Municipality of North Huronlaunched its new logo at theirvolunteer appreciation evening inBlyth last week. The logo, a silhouette of a
Canadian Goose in front of a sun,
positioned over a river will be used
extensively on municipal property
and in print and marketing
material.
“We wanted an updated look that
would more accurately reflect the
attributes we value of the
area in which we live”, said
Connie Goodall, community
development co-ordinator for North
Huron.
“ We enlisted the help of focus
groups from each of our
communities, as well as,
municipal staff. The resulting logo
designed by Erin Wilson of
Goderich portrays many of the
ideas put forward by those groups.
We found that unanimously
we valued our safe, green,
vibrant and clean communities and
felt that some of our greatest assets
are our access to outdoor activities
and our picturesque rural
landscape”.
The existing North Huron logo,
created in 2001 will continue to be
used on traditional documents.
We are glad to hear that Susan
Haggitt is home from hospital. We
wish her a speedy recovery.

Lawrence and Jean Plaetzer. Their
guest was Bruce Robertson of

He took the group on a
sentimental journey through
memory of songs he sang as he
accompanied himself on the guitar.
He had toes tapping and heads
nodding as people recalled the
familiar words and music.
A short business meeting, chaired
by the president, Shirley Nicholson,
followed.
There are still a few seats left for

BLYTH UNITED CHURCH
Greeting at Blyth United Church
on Sunday, April 26, were Terry and
Barb Richmond. Ushering were
Karen Glousher, Terry Richmond
and Myrtle Badley. Amanda
Swartzentruber was pianist.
Clean up day for Camp
Menesetung and Blyth’s cabin is
Saturday, May 9. Many hands make
less work.
The call to worship was followed
by the prayer of approach and the
first hymn, Come and Find the Quiet
Centre. The first scripture reading
was John 20: 10-18.
The children came to the front for
their story time. Rev. Gary Clark
asked them what things belonged on
the communion table? They
answered the Bible, candles, and
Sunday school candle. The Baptism
Font also belonged at the front of the
church. The cross that laid against
the table did not belong where it was
but it did belong on the wall above
the table, they agreed.
Rory Bromley lit the candles on
the table.
The hymn, And On This Path was
sung while the children went
downstairs for their time of worship.
Connor Brooks carried the candle
down to Sunday school.
The second scripture Acts 10: 9-
33.
The choir sang an anthem, Dona
Nobis Pacem.
Rev. Clark’s message for the
adults was, Holding onto What?
There were two stories told in that
morning scripture. Mary was told by
Jesus not to hold unto Him, and He
was not staying on earth and Peter
was told not to hang on to the things
he had seen on the rooftop.
Mary stayed at the tomb and when
she looked in she saw two angels.
They asked her why she was crying
and she said that someone had taken
Jesus’ body somewhere but she did
not know where. She saw a man
standing there and asked him if he
knew where they had taken the body.
The man answered, Mary and she
knew that it was Jesus. Jesus told her
to tell his disciples and she did.
Prayers were followed by the
benediction.
