BLYTH UNITED CHURCH
Greeting at Blyth United Church
on Sunday, April 6 was Joan Clark.
Ushering were Karen Glousher and
Emily Phillips. Guest organist was
Elizabeth Stennett. Guest speaker
Sandy Morris welcomed everyone to
church. Call Joann MacDonald if
you wish to order meat pies at 519-
523-9274. Sandy reminded everyone
of the benefit and silent auction for
Mikayla Ainsley. Tickets can be
purchased from any Lions member
or at businesses throughout the
village.
The call to worship was read
responsively and was followed by
the opening prayer. The first hymn
was Christ the Lord is Risen Todayand the new Creed was repeated inunison.The choir sang the anthem, SeekYe the Lord with Cheryl Croninsinging the solo parts.The children’s hymn was OpenMy Eyes that I May See.Bryce Glousher read the minutefor missions.
Sandy asked the children if they
drank coffee or hot chocolate and
did they know were it comes from.
She told the children that the ones
who pick the coffee or chocolate
beans only get paid a very small
amount. She told them of a coffee by
the name of Fairtrade Coffee that
more of the money goes to the
people that pick the beans.
Everyone sang The Lord’s Prayer.
Jon Hakkers carried the candle as
the children went downstairs for
their time of worship and fellowship.
Psalm 105 was read responsively.
The scripture reading was 1 Peter 1:
17-23 and the gospel reading was
Luke 24: 13-35.
Sandy’s message to the adults was
the Women in Afghanistan. When
the Taliban took over in Afghanistan
the women were not allowed to go
out without being accompanied by a
man. They were part of arranged
marriages and abusive marriages.
Many women committed suicide by
setting fire to themselves.
The last hymn God Be With You
’Til We Meet Again was followed by
the Commissioning and Benediction
and the singing of Go Now in Peace.
