The choir favoured the congregation with the anthem Bread of Heaven, Wine of Heaven. The Call to Worship and the Prayer of Approach followed the first hymn, Deep and Wide. with the Sunday school children leading the actions. Kelsey Kerr carried the lit candle downstairs to Sunday school. The Gospel lessons were from Matthew 4: 18-22 and Mark 6: 30- 44 were followed by the hymn, Break Now the Bread of Life. Rev. Gary Clark’s message to the congregation was Don’t invite Folks Unless You Intend to Feed Them. Rev. Clark started his message by saying when they arrived in Blyth in July they found the fridge and cupboards were stocked with food. What hospitality! When Jesus called His disciples, He didn’t find them in the synagogues. He went to the seaside to find them. Jesus asked them to leave the work they knew and to follow Him and He would make them Fishers of Men. Jesus and the disciples went into a boat to cross the lake and find a quiet place to rest. The people on shore walked around the lake to hear Jesus speak. The disciples asked Jesus if they should send the people away to find their own food but Jesus was compassionate and told His disciples to go out and find what food they could. They came back with five loaves of bread and two fish that a little boy had. Jesus took the food, blessed it. The disciples gave them to the people and when everyone was full there were still 12 baskets of food remaining. If something is given in love and hope, it will multiply, said Rev. Clark. The first three verses of the hymn, Here, O My Lord We See You Face to Face was followed by the receiving of the offering and the hymn, The Fruit of All Creation. The children came back upstairs to join the congregation for communion. The Prayer of Thanksgiving was followed by the singing of The Lord’s Prayer. Those serving communion were Fred Meier, Mary Lou Stewart, Ollie Craig, Jessica Sparling and Jon Hakkers. On Oct. 19, at the Thanksgiving service, Sadie Chalmers will sing. Oct. 26 is the evening service and Rev. Clark’s covenanting service and Nov. 9 the Lobb Family Singers will sing.
