BLYTH UNITED CHURCH
Greeting at Blyth United Church
on Sunday, March 11 were Doug
and Barb Howson with the help of
Candice Abell-Rinn and McKenzie
McNichol. Guest organist was
Lynda MacGregor. Ushering were
Elaine Brown, Joann MacDonald
and Terry Richmond.
The Sunday school was in charge
of the service. The Call to Worship
was repeated responsively followed
by the first hymn, Come In, Come In
and Sit Down, the opening prayer,
the Prayer of Confession and the
Assurance of Pardon. The choir then
sang Kum-ba-yah.
The children came to the front of
the church during the singing of the
last verse of the hymn I Love to Tell
The Story. Lorna Fraser told the
children there is a story in the Bible
in which God says people can have
something very special and not have
to pay for it. God gives very special
things and one is his love. Another is
second chances. No matter what
someone has done God loves them
and offers a second chance.
They said a prayer for their
penpals in Uganda and for the safe
journey of Rachel and Paul who are
delivering the supplies the Sunday
school had collected.
The Lord’s Prayer was repeated.
Psalm 63: 1-8 was read by Jon
Hakkers. Karen Glousher read I
Corinthians 10: 1-13 and Luke 13: 1-
9 was read by Brett and Bryce
Glousher, and For the Beauty of the
Earth was sung.
Lorna’s message to the adults was
a story of a little boy named Jimmy
whose village was attacked by
soldiers and the people were
captured. Jimmy kept thinking of his
penpal in Canada who had
fundraised money to give his village
a well with clean water. Jimmy
escaped and eventually came to
Canada and was adopted by his
penpal, Ryan’s family.
Lorna asked the congregation to
take a moment and pray for the
children in Uganda.
The Saunderses are planning aquick flip for their new endeavour,
Three Squirrels Antiques.
Tim and Tracy Saunders of Blyth
took possession of the space
(formerly the Blyth Apothecary) at
the beginning of March and now
have a target opening date of March
25.
The interior of the building has
already undergone quite a facelift,
with still more work to come.
Tim said he is taking some of the
shelving out and removing the
shop’s back counter, in addition to
many other ideas to “jazz it up” by
the time the store opens.
“It has the right ambiance that we
wanted, it has the tin ceiling with the
old lights hanging down, not too big,
not too small, just a good size,” he
said. “Plus, being across from the
Festival should bring in a good draw
of people.”
With the theatre season
approaching quickly, Tim doesn’t
feel any pressure to hurry his work.
Although he plans on doing a lot, he
said it really won’t take that long.
With a new coat of paint and some
work on the flooring, Tim says while
those sound like big jobs, they
should only take a few days to
complete.
All of their inventory will be ready
to go, as they have been collecting
antiques for two decades now. Tracy
says the problem is that they have
been getting too many calls,
impeding their work.
Calls have been coming in from
those who know them, but a lot of
people are wanting to sell to them
now.
The Saunderses plan to operate the
store themselves, adding that they
have been in the antique game for
quite some time now.
“We had planned on having a store
for some time. It’s just that
opportunity knocked for this
particular store,” Tim said.
Tracy said that this shop is
something that people have been
waiting for. Already with an
established reputation in Canadian
antiques, she said many people felt
this shop was long overdue.
Tim agrees, saying that he has
been in the antique game for almost
20 years now.
“This is what I do. I buy and sell
antiques,” he said.
When Three Squirrels Antiques
opens, customers can expect a wide
range of antiques Tim says. The
store will feature everything from
dishes to glassware to furniture.
