United Church
celebrates anniversary
Blyth United Church celebrated
its 24th Anniversary of the present
building on November 2.
Rev. Reid Vipond, who is now
one of the ministers of the
Metropolitan Church in London,
was the guest speaker. He is also
Mary Wightman’s brother and has
many relatives in this area. Many
of those were at both the morning
and evening services.
He chose as his sermon title in
the morning “For the living of
these days” from a great hymn by
Henry Emerson Fusdick. He said
that people must, as Christians,
affirm their faith - but they must
also remember that it is the church
that has carried the faith through
the years. “When we call for
loyalty to one church, we are
calling for loyalty to Christ who is
the head of the church,” he said.
He challenged the congregation to
continue the fine work that has
been done through the past years
saying people come and go but the
church must go on. He closed his
sermon with Moses’ admonition to
the people of Israel: “Take heed
that you do not forget the Lord.”
At the evening service Rev. Reid
Vipond spoke on “How are you
feeling?’’
