Blyth United
prepares for
Christmas
The theme for Sunday's church
service at Blyth United Church on
December 8 was “Preparations for
Christmas”, and certainly the sanc
tuary exemplified this theme with
its decorations of holly and poinset-
tias.
Greeting worshippers at the door
were Barb and Terry Richmond.
The usiiers were Betty and Mark
Nethery, Brenda Brooks and Dick
Poore. Betty Lewis was in charge
of Junior Congregation and Karen
Hallahan was in the nursery.
Special music featured a quartet
of Dan Snell, John McDowell,
Shane Snel,' and Garth Walden.
They sang “Put a Light in the Win
dow of Your Heart” and “Only a
Prayer Away”.
The message was based on
Malachi 3, verses 1-4 and Luke 3,
verses 1 -6. Rev. Ramirez noted that
long before Jesus Christ was bom
God had prepared a nation for His
coming. He stressed that our prepa
rations for Christmas should
include:
(1) Cleansing our hearts so our
gifts are given out of love.
(2) Repentance. Through Jesus
Christ we have a feeling of comfort
and easiness because we have been
forgiven of our sins.
(3) Give also to those in need
through Missions and Special
appeals.
(4) Be still and listen to what
God is saying to us.
The gift that God wants most
from all of us is an open heart.
