United Church news 'Spiritual blessings' sermon topic THE CITIZEN, WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 11, 1989. PAGE 3. Rev. Lorenzo Ramirez on the second Sunday of the New Year at Blyth United Church chose as his sermon subject, “Spiritual Bless­ ings in Christ”. He said that it is a privilege and responsibility to be a Christian. Although we are still a minority we arefreetoenjoy an acceptance as never known before. This is not our own doing but that of Jesus our Lord. He told of being in groups of Christians of many different colours and cultures who sang in many different languages - and yet becausethey wereall singing the same tune it made a beautiful melody. He said that although they were of many different denomina­ tions, he felt that this was the church universal and it was like belonging to one great family of love. He divided the spiritual blessings into three groups: First, we have redemption because of Jesus’ shed blood; secondly, we receive spiritual wisdom through Christ; thirdly, immeasurable power is given to those who believe. When we really need it Christ comes to rescue us from sin and gives us the extra energy that we need. Huronview stall angers councillors Continued from page 1 because of the delay. The Seniors Care Facility study had been undertaken after the Ministry officials turned down an earlier proposal from the county to renovate the existing Huron view building to bring it up to modern standards. The renovations would have cost as much as a new building. In October, after accepting the recommendations of the study, County Council approved building of a scaled-down Huronview with one building to house 100 residents at the current site south of Clinton with a possible 80-bed unit to be added later in the northern part of the county and a further 80 beds possible in the south end of the county if needed. Mr. Lester said he had been asked to attend a meeting to discuss where seniors homes are going, a question he thought had settled by the study the county had undertaken. Bill Mickle, Reeve ot Exeter said he was sorry to see all the work Bonnie and Herb Shannon were the greeters. Jim and Thelma Wilson, Joan Clark and Murray Musty were ushers. Diane Ferguson was in the nursery and Susan Haggitt was in charge of the Junior Congregation. The choir sang, “Redeeming Love’’ with Marjorie McNall at the organ.

If the building is going ahead, money must be set aside in the budget. “I would hope we will tell them emphatically that we would like a written answer as to whether there’s going to be money in 1989 or not,” he said. Hullett Reeve Tom Cunningham worried about what the delay might meanfor planstorentoutparts of Huronview to other tenants.
