BLYTH UNITED CHURCH Greeting at Blyth United Church on Sunday, July 29 was Mary Lou Stewart. Ushering were Karen Glousher and Hope Button. Guest pianist was Amanda Swartzentruber. Amanda is enrolling in nursing school. Guest speaker Tom Dunbar welcomed everyone to church. The choir’s anthem was Make Me A Channel of Your Peace. OllieCraig lit the peace candles at thefront of the church.Mr. Dunbar had a children’s storyof knock, knock jokes, followed byThe Lord’s Prayer and the scripture,Luke 11: 1-13 and Psalm 17 whichwas led by Ollie Craig.Mr. Dunbar’s message to theadults was Knock, Knock. He said that we are all good enough in God’s eyes to talk to him. If we don’t ask, God can’t answer us. God is able to deal with many things at once. There is nothing too small to talk to God about. We only have to pray and God will answer. It doesn’t hurt to pray for something for ourselves. We should continue to pray for healing and peace. Sorrows shared are sorrow divided and joys shared are joys multiplied. We must talk to God and listen for his answer. As a special event leading up to the Blyth’s Festival’s run of World Without Shadows, playwright Lance Woolaver will be at the Blyth Library Thursday at 2 p.m. for a free reading and discussion of his work. Seating for the event is limited, so the library does ask that you obtain tickets through them. Woolaver, a former-journalist, wrote about his one-time neighbour Maud Lewis, artist, and the subject of his play World Without Shadows. He will be reading from The Illuminated Life of Maud Lewis,his best-selling book. World Without Shadows opens at the Festival at 8 p.m. on Friday and runs through to Sept.1. Playwright gives free reading at Blyth Library Work on Dinsley Street will progress in Morris-Turnberry. North Huron clerk-administrator Kriss Snell said at the July 16 council meeting, that Morris- Turnberry will support the project with 40 per cent from North Huron. He said that while Morris- Turnberry had first said no to the proposal, they had reconsidered. Snell said the contractor will continue the project at the current price with the split being $57,897 for Morris-Turnberry and $39,598 for North Huron. Morris-Turnberry approved the project at their meeting the next night. It will mean extending the watermains and sewers and finishing curb and gutters. *** The north meeting room at Memorial Hall will be administered, marketed and cleaned by the Blyth Festival as part of a joint agreement. This room will not be used during the season by the Festival. It will be rented throughout the year and rental will be realized by North Huron, which will pay the utilities for the year. The rental fee is $30 for a half day or $50 for a full day.
