Rev. Verhoog speaks at CRC service
Guest pastor for the Sunday June
28 services at Blyth Christian
Reformed Church was Rev. John
Verhoog from Exeter.
Congratulations were extended to
the Verburg family with the
marriage of Mike to Sarah
Lammers. The wedding took place
over the weekend in Dutton,
Michigan.
The sermon focused on scripture
taken from I Peter 1:3-16. Through
trials all things come together for
our good through Jesus Christ.
Joni Erikson, a quadriplegic,
searched out the positive in a
negative situation.
Blessings outweigh the
difficulties if we remain focused on
God. Peter told the Christians
undergoing persecution to search
for joy and peace and to praise God
at the same time.
Rev. Verhoog then pointed out
"four facts of our salvation" that
could be gleaned from the
scriptural text.
As Christians we can face our
lives with an attitude of hope
versus despair. We can find peace
in the real and living hope in the
future. This hope can never be
extinguished.
We have assurance of God's
promises of Eternal Life.
Our trials and sufferings profit
us. We need not wallow in self-
pity or bitterness as this mind set
creates a life of mere misery.
There is completeness in the
sacrifice of Jesus Christ as Calvary
and the promise of Jesus' return.
Rev. Verhoog completed his
address to the congregation saying
that Peter provides these facts
about our salvation so we will
attempt to live our lives for God!
The hymn of dedication was "O
Praise Ye The Lord".—

Paul Henderson
United Way, Chair
The Huron United Way is well
on the way to assembling its 1992
Campaign Team. Each year Huron
United Way plans to recognize an
outstanding member of the
committee by inviting them to be
Honourary Campaign Chairperson.
Lloyd Eisler and Isabelle Brasseur,
Canadian Figure Skating
Champions, were appointed the
initial Co-Chairs. They epitomized
the innovation, exuberance and
energy of Huron United Way's
approach to problems in the
community.
As the chapter enters its first full
campaign, it is proud to announce
the 1992 Honourary Campaign
Chair, Paul Henderson. Paul,
raised in Lucknow, was a member
of the Maple Leafs, Detroit Red
Wings, Birmingham Bulls, and a
participant in the 1972 Canada
Cup. He is best known for the
winning goal in the last three
games of the 1972 Canada-Russia
series. Many can still see the
winning goal with 34 seconds
remaining in the final game. For
the Huron United Way, Paul
symbolized what individuals with
an outstanding effort and the
Duffs hears
commitment of a hard working
team behind them can achieve.
Lately Paul has been one of the
moving forces behind the Campus
Crusade for Christ, Canada,
working out of Mississauga, where
he helps men to develop the
spiritual side of life. He also sits
on the Advisory Board of Muskoka
Woods Sports Camp and has been
closely associated with Teen Ranch
for the past 17 years, presently on
the Advisory Council. He is also a
spokesperson for Hockey
Development in the Esso Penalty
Free Sweepstakes. Charity work is
one of his priorities. As a
motivational speaker he has
addressed many companies,
including General Motors, Irving
Oil, Consumers Gas, and Peoples
Jewellers.
