With weather like this we should be getting all our outside work done and not have it to do next spring. Sometimes when that four letter ‘s’ word comes early, it leaves a mess to clean up in the spring. Get out and enjoy the good weather, it may not last long. BLYTH UNITED CHURCH Greeting at Blyth United Church on Sunday, Nov. 15 were Doug Howson and Terry Richmond. Ushering were Nicole Kerr, Lori Brooks and Brenda Brooks. Fred Hakkers ran the power point. The choir sang the anthem, One More Step Along the World I Go. The call to worship was followed by the prayer of approach. The first scripture reading was from Romans 8: 22-28. Floyd Herman, Rev. Gary Clark and Jon Hakkers presented a play about the explanation of the word Syn-ergy. The children were asked to come to the front for their story time. Rev. Clark explained to the children that you can do more things with a loonie than you can with the pennies they had a couple of weeks ago. Just think of all the things they could if they all joined their loonies together. The children gave the congregation each a loonie before they went downstairs for their time of worship and fellowship. The next hymn, Breathe on Me Breath of God was followed by the scripture reading from Mark 4: 21- 25. Rev. Clark’s message to the adults was Explosive Evil and Explosive Good. A Native grandson was talking to his grandfather and told him he had two demons inside of him and asked which one would win. The wise grandfather said whichever one was fed would win out. Sins verses virtue. When people work together they can conquer anything. The next hymn, Amazing Grace was sung followed by the prayer of confession and the hymn Blessed Assurance. Grant Sparling read the names of those in Sunday school and congregation having November birthdays and invited everyone for cupcakes to celebrate the birthdays.
