Young people contribute
to Sunday service
at Blyth United Church
Greeters at the Blyth United
Church on Sunday, February 9
were Bill and Brenda Burkholder.
Ushers were the grade 3, 4 and 5
girls lead by Joan Clark and Joan
Caldwell. Offering was collected
by Leanne Haggitt, Shawna Stryk
er, Robin Mason and Heidi Meier.
Rev. Ramirez opened the service
with a call to worship and lead the
congregation in a Prayer of Invoca
tion followed by a Prayer of Con
fession and a silent confession. The
responsive reading was selected
verses from Psalm 100. The scrip
ture was I Corinthians 13: 1-13.
In the children’s time the question
was “How do we show love?” Sev
eral responses were received as the
Sunday School was in attendance.
Rev. Ramirez led the children in
“Magic Penny”. The Choral Kids
anthem was entitled “Someone Is
Waiting”. Then Cappy Onn sang a
solo titled “You are Lord to Me.”
Among the several announcements
were this week's committee meet
ings.
Lorna Fraser then welcomed
everyone on behalf of the Sunday
School and the children showed
their love by singing “Ha La La”.
The congregation was asked to join
in. Gayle Poore and John Ramirez
led the children and adults in this
participating song.
People to be remembered in
prayers this week are, Luella
McGowan, Mae MacDonald, Irvine
Wallace, Harriet Wood and Jody
Lee.
Rev. Ramirez' sermon was titled
the Center of Christian Love, based
on I Corinthians 13, the Love chap
ter. To explain translation to the
many children Rev. Ramirez
showed them Bibles written in
other languages. He explained that
to share our faith uses love. Love is
everywhere. Most of all love is the
center of all things. St. Paul 13: 4-7
explains the positive and negative
side of love. Positive love is kind,
always protects and to put your
trust in God. The negative tells us
that loves does not envy, or is not
rude, and does not keep records of
wrong doings. Like the prodigal
son whose brother remembered al
the wrong doings of his brother.
But their father was forgiving even
from a distance. This is love.
The choral response “Lord be
Glorified” was sung by the Sunday
School.
The Choral Kids were asked to
receive everyone following the ser
vice.
