BLYTH UNITED CHURCH
Greeting at Blyth United Church
on Sunday, Jan. 27 were Joan and
Lavern Clark. Ushering were Nancy
Hakkers, Terry Richmond and
Elaine Brown.
Guest organist was Lynda
McGregor.
Guest speaker Emily Phillips
welcomed the congregation to
church.
The call to worship was repeated
responsively followed by the first
hymn This is the Day and the Prayer
of Confession and Assurance of
Pardon.
The choir anthem Lead Me to the
Rock was sung. The children’s
hymn I Was There to Hear Your
Borning Cry, was followed
by a minute for mission, read by
Bryce Glousher and Jon
Hakkers.
Emily had the children come up
on the platform so they could see
the congregation. She asked
everyone to put their hands up if
some of the situations she read
applied to them. She told the
children that people are all different
but they are all a church family.
Brett Glousher carried the candle
and the children went downstairs for
their time of worship and
fellowship.
The scripture readings were from
Matthew 5: 1-14 and the 131 Psalm
was read responsively led by Nancy
Hakkers.
The next scripture was from
Genesis 1: 31.
The next hymn New Every
Morning was sung.
Emily’s message to the adults was
Taking Inventory.
The definition of inventory is “an
itemized list of goods.”A good time
to take inventory is spring cleaning
or when an insurance policy is
renewed. Emily explained what the
Beatitudes meant to her and
said to celebrate the good things in
life.
Look both ways
Safety is always first when crossing the street, and because not all Blyth children have the
benefit of adult accompaniment, a crosswalk and possibly a crossing guard are being
considered by North Huron council at the intersection of County Road 4 and King Street. Karen
Scott helps some Blyth Public School students across County Road 4 on their way home from
school. Children, from left, Hannah Ortman, seven, Chad Ortman, six and Ben Kolkman, six.

concerned, North Huron is ready to
go.
“Our road superintendent has the
signs ready. We just want to make
sure everything is done legally with
the county so we don’t have them
pulling the signs out. I’m not saying
they would, it’s just that it’s not
really our road. I don’t get the
impression that the county is
opposed to it, it’s just one of those
things that needs to get done,” he
said.
North Huron clerk-administrator
Kriss Snell told council that the
hiring of a crossing guard is a much
more complicated process than it
sounds.
Because the position is so part-
time, Snell said, three or four people
are needed to cover illness,
vacations and other absences for a
position that fills around two hours
per day.
The issue was tabled by council to
give it a month or so to research
further.
