BLYTH UNITED CHURCH Blyth United Church held its church service on Sunday, June 7 at Camp Menesetung with the Sunday school leading the service. Cappy Onn and Gil Garrett, Jessica and Grant Sparling favoured the congregation with music while the Sunday school children marched into church singing, He’s Got the Whole World in his Hands. Lorna Fraser led the worship and welcomed everyone to the camp service. Deb Hakkers drew everyone’s attention to the announcements in the bulletin. Lorna spoke on all the things the Sunday school had done during the year and the congregation joined them in the songs they had learned throughout the year. Some of these were Here We are Together, Deep and Wide, Come Follow Me and Only a Boy Named David. Cappy, Grant and Jessica played a selection on their violins while the offering was being received. The offering was given to the camp to help with expenses. Lorna gave the children their awards and certificates for attending Sunday school. Lorna read the 23rd Psalm and the Lord’s Prayer was sung along with the children doing the actions. The blessing “All I Really Need is a Song In My Heart, Food In My Belly and Love In My Family was sung by all. A potluck lunch followed the service. North Huron reeve Neil Vincent sought support from his county council June 3 in the battle to keep local television alive. Vincent said he, along with Goderich councillor Deb Shewfelt, attended the Save Local TV rally in London May 23. He had postcards and asked “each and every one” of the councillors to write the federal heritage minister and the CRTC. It would help support the message of the importance of getting local information to the people, he said. Vincent said a petition is circulating asking that the CRTC allow royalties to be charge to cable. “This would allow a number of local stations to exist.” “I felt it was important to get there and support this,” said Shewfelt. The county will send a letter of support. 83341 CURRIE LINE - RR 3 BLYTH Owner: Gaye Datema 519-523-9407 Come and see our large selection of bedding plants, planters, hanging baskets and perennials as well as geraniums, impatiens, red spikes and new grasses.
