They also learned the differ­ ent devices and techniques used in knitting. The first meeting was a great success and members are looking forward to the next meet­ ing. A well attended Family Service at Blyth United Church began with a singsong led by Cheryl Cronin. The Sunday School children took an active role in the service, beginning with the responsive reading led by Chad Haggitt and Christopher Howson. The scripture reading Luke 10 (25-37) was read by Erin Bolger and Karen Bernard. During the scripture reading, members of the Grades 7 and 8 class under the direction of Bonnie and Herb Shannon acted out the “Good Samaritan” story in the form of a short play. Actors were: John Ramirez, Jerod Button, Aaron Sauve, Ian Caldwell and Maridale Bromley. The choir sang “Thank God for the Promise of Springtime”. Ush­ ers were members of the Grade 4 class: Jill Walden, Kandice Mc- Nichol, Margaret Ann Stewart and Abigail Ramirez. During the sermon entitled “The Good Samaritan - Life’s Philo­ sophy” Rev. Ramirez referred to the three groups portrayed in the play: the robbers, the Levites and Priests, and the Good Samaritans. Each group had a rule or philo­ sophy of life. The robbers’ philo­ sophy was: “Mine is mine, yours is mine” and we will take whatever we want from others whenever we want it. The Levites and Priests’ philosophy was: “Mine is mine, yours is yours,” don’t bother me with your problems and I won’t bother you with mine. The third group represented in the play was “The Good Samaritan”. His philo­ sophy of life was “Mine is yours” and whatever I have I will glady give it to you if you need it. This is the rule or philosophy we should apply in our lives. We should have the love of the “Good Samaritan” an extravagant love, a love that knows no barrier. Such was the love of our Lord Jesus Christ who died for us that we might have life eternal. There is “no greater love.’’ Lorna Fraser, on behalf of the Sunday School, invited everyone to attend the Congregational Skating Party at the Blyth Arena on Saturday, Feb. 25 at 4 p.m. with prizes for costumes, largest family on skates, etc. At 5 p.m. all are invited to the Church for a pot luck supper.
