BLYTH UNITED CHURCH
Greeting at Blyth United Church
on Sunday, June 15 were Joann
MacDonald and Randy Fraser.
Ushering were David Onn and
Randy Fraser. Amanda
Swartzentruber was pianist.
Guest speaker was Bruce
Whitmore.
Flowers at the front were placed in
memory of fathers by their families.
The first hymn was, Come, Let Us
Sing of a Wonderful Love.
The children’s hymn was This is
God’s Wondrous World. The
children’s story was about a little
boy who rode his bicycle down the
path from the house to the orchard.
One day his mother and father were
making a rock garden and left a rock
in the middle of the path. The little
boy didn’t know how he was
going to get around it. His
father came along and together
they rolled the stone to where his
parents were making the rock
garden.
Mr. Whitmore read a poem about
fathers. Everyone sang The Lord’s
Prayer. The choir anthem was How
Great Thou Art.
The scripture reading was from
Luke 15: 11-24. The hymn, Great is
Thy Faithfulness was sung.
Mr. Whitmore’s message to the
adults was God’s Stand-In. He told
the story of a teacher asking the
children if they knew what God’s
first name was. One little boy piped
up and said Art. The teacher asked
how he came up with that. The little
boy replied, “Our Father who
Art.”
Mr. Whitmore told the story of the
prodigal son returning to his father.
God is like that father always willing
to take people back. God gives
unconditional love. Ann Landers
said it best, he said, When
young dads can do anything.
With teens, Dad doesn’t
know so much but when people get
older again their dad becomes very
wise.
Day of discovery
About 55 4-H members, between the ages of 10 and 12, from clubs in Grey, Bruce, Huron and
Perth Counties attended the Ontario Cattlemen’s Association-sponsored Discovery Days at
the Blyth Community Centre on Saturday. Activities included a tug-of-war, a cart ride through
the grounds on a miniature horse-drawn cart and some parachute play. The topic of the day
was the wild west, so attendees were encouraged to dress up in their best western clothes.
They were also given t-shirts, which they decorated along with cowboy hats and bandannas.
There were also western-themed activities, such as line dancing. (Vicky Bremner photo)
