over the years buying equipment.
That’s my reason for doing this.
They’ve helped us out, so I try to
help them out,” he said.
Salverda has been helping ever
since. He sat at a meeting with a
representative from Easter
Seals years ago and proposed this
event, which is now in its fourth
year.
Registration for the event will take
place the morning of the run. The
run will go rain or shine and if lack
of snow is a problem, Snowarama
becomes a car/truck rally on the 130
km of trail.
The event begins at the
Londesborough Lions Community
Hall where the Lions will be cooking
breakfast. Breakfast and registration
will take place between 9 a.m. and
12 p.m.
As always, Snowarama is packed
with features like door prizes, a
50/50 draw, a barbeque and a chance
to do some good in the
community.
Pledge sheets and more
information are available through
Salverda at (519) 482-9113.
Donations to participate in the event,
are up to the participant, on a give-
what-you-want basis.
As usual, riders will need permits
to ride the trails. However, if a rider
is without a permit, day permits will
be issued, and can also be obtained
through Salverda.
Sympathy is extended to Bev and
Alex Blair and family on the death of
Bev’s father this past weekend.

BLYTH UNITED CHURCH
Greeting at Blyth United Church
on Sunday, Feb. 3 was Fred Meier.
Ushering were Nancy Hakkers,
Terry Richmond and Lois van Vliet.
Guest organist was Lynda
McGregor.
Guest speaker, Sandy Morris,
welcomed everyone.
The call to worship was repeated
responsively followed by the
opening prayer. The first hymn was
Morning Has Broken and the New
Creed was said in unison.
The choir anthem, Nothing is
Impossible was sung. The children’s
hymn, Lord, Listen to Your Children
Praying, was followed by a minute
for mission, read by Brett Glousher,
assisted by Bryce Glousher.
Sandy asked the children if they
had a superhero. Spiderman was a
very popular choice.
She told them to be a superhero,
they had to be human and second
they had to transform into
something. Jesus was also a
superhero, she said.
Jon Hakkers carried the candle and
all the children went downstairs for
their time of worship and fellowship.
The scripture readings wereExodus 24: 12-18, Psalm 99 readresponsively led by Ollie Craig, 2Peter 1: 16-21 and Matthew 17: 1-9.Sandy’s message to the adults wasa story of a man on trial for murder.His lawyer, in his summation made acomment that the jury would have tofind him not guilty as everyonelooked at the door when hesuggested that the real murderer was
coming in the door.
The jury came back with a guilty
verdict. The lawyer asked why
everyone had looked at the door
when he said the real killer was
coming in the door. The head juror
said he watched the accused and his
eyes did not look at the door because
he knew he was the guilty one.
The same story is similar to that of
Jesus’ transfiguration. Jesus asked
the disciples who he was. Some
answered that He was the Son of
God. Jesus took Peter, James and
John up the mountain with Him andthey witnessed the transfigurationand heard God say that this was His Son and He was well pleased.The hymn How Good Lord to beThere was sung.
