Family Sunday marked at church
Open house held for
Wasson 50th anniversary
Family Sunday was celebrated
in Blyth United Church by a full
congregation on Sunday.
The three choirs were in atten
dance. The junior choir sang “But
God Cares”. The intermediate
sang, “The Lord is my Shepherd”
and they all combined to sing,
‘‘Spirit of Gentleness.” Donna
Walsh assisted Margaret Kai with
the music.
Susan Howson on behalf of the
Sunday School paid a special
tribute to mothers and with the
help of many of the Sunday School
members presented pink carna
tions to several catagories of
mothers. There was the mother
with the youngest baby, the oldest
child, the largest family, the
largest family with them in church,
the one who had come the farthest
to the service, and the mother with
the most grandchildren. Mrs.
Ramirez was the mother who had
come the farthest to live in Blyth.
In his sermon on ‘‘Home and
Family”, Rev. Ramirez said that
what makes a family is more than
the fact that they share the same
home. They must love each other.
He reminded us ot the well-known
saying, ‘‘The family that prays
together, stays together.”
The flowers were in memory of
Ray Madill.
Stephanie Louise, daughter of
Elmer and Maria Sanderson and
Kurtis Earl, son of Brian and
Lorraine Bromley were baptized.
The last hymn was ‘‘Happy the
Home when God is there”, during
which the children went to their
classrooms to have their atten
dance marked. Debbie Ansley was
in nursery. Jim and Effie McCall,
Margaret Caldwell and Doug
Procter were ushers and Mary and
Lloyd Walden were the greeters.
