(Photo submitted) Men’s choir practice, Sunday Continued from page 34 Christ is referred to by a variety of names, including the good shepherd. Followers are His flock and He cares for them in all the ways that a shepherd would care for his flock of sheep, even giving his life for them. God’s sheep are the followers who have come to know God and want to serve Him, sheep in action. As God’s sheep followers are called upon to share their faith to the world. However, Rev. Cook noted that followers don’t have to be just another sheep. While doing God’s work they can bring their own personalities and talents. We should all be living examples of Christ in the community. Rev. Cook prayed that all followers and confirmands would have the wisdom, courage and confidence for that work. The men’s choir will gather for practice on Sunday, May 10 at 9:45 a.m. Student show kicks off Thursday 45th Anniversary Open House for Martin & Janie Wilts 45th anniversary at the Blyth Christian Reformed Church 2-4 pm Saturday, May 9th Let’s Dance Please join me in celebrating my Mom & Dad’s 25th Wedding Anniversary Neil & Joan Vincent Saturday, May 16, 2009 at the Belgrave Community Centre Casual Dress Open House Reception 8:00 pm - 1 am In lieu of gifts, donations to the Belgrave Community Centre Building Fund would be appreciated.

His paintings which show a passion and a concern for the environment, will be featured during the month of May in the Goderich Co-op Gallery. Painting at first exclusively in watercolours, Creighton now also shows paintings in oils and pastels. Creighton’s concern for the natural environment has prompted him to donate many paintings and prints to Ducks Unlimited, the World Wildlife Fund, The ruffed Grouse Society of Canada and the Ontario Wild Turkey Foundation helping to raise funds for these groups to protest this wildlife. Hopefully through Creighton’s painting of wild orchids, these plants too will become more protected and appreciated. He says, “I try to capture these breathtaking plants but also the environment in which they grow.” His art has won numerous awards, and been exhibited across Canada. He is represented in many private collections in Canada, the United States and Europe. The gallery is open from Monday to Saturday, 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. and a working artist is always on duty.
