H. Exel leads Christian Reformed worship
Greeting worshippers at the July
19 morning service, at Blyth
Christian Reformed Church were
Margaret and Ralph Buffinga.
The opening hymn, “The Tender
Love A Father Has”, with Hinke
Bakelaar serving as organist. Mr.
Henry Exel an elder and member
led the morning service. He opened
with reading the Law from Exodus
20 and then the summary of the
Law from Matthew 22, the great
and first Commandment. The
sermon entitled “Peter In Trouble”,
was prepared and written by Rev.
Jack Quartel, who was recently
installed as pastor of Goderich
Christian Reformed Church.
Two questions were raised in the
sermon. How do you get in
trouble? Then how do you get out?
When Jesus invited Peter to walk
with him on the water, Peter
impulsively did so, then he lost
faith and was sinking, almost
drowning. Peter was in trouble
because of fear, lack of trust, and
doubting. Christians reach
mountaintops by first journeying
through valleys. Often the most
growth is gained through the
valleys. Life with Jesus is not all
rosy; it includes trials and
suffering. How then do we get out
of trouble? We focus our minds on
Jesus and believe. This results in a
destiny of courage and solutions.
Mr. Exel ended with the
statement that “Peter had taken his
eye off Jesus.” He challenged us to
look away from our own problems
and focus on Jesus.
This past week seven women
from the congregation attended the
“Coffee Break Convention” at
McMaster University in Hamilton,
with 1500 other women. The
Conference Theme was “His Life,
Our Fragrance” II Cor. 2: 14-17.
The ladies reported an enriching
three days of praise, worship,
study, and sharing with other
Christians from all over North
America.

Mennonites hear soloist
On Sunday, July 19, Pastor Tom
Warner preached from John 10: 7 -
15. If there is no revelation there
will be no restraint. In today's
society we are seeing less and less
restraint. It seems our society is
trying to escape reality. Christ does
not give us an escape from reality
but calls on us to face it and let
Him deal with it. We can face
reality by the power of God
Himself.
Thelma Steinman led the
congregational singing with
accompaniment by Nancy Elliot
Greenwood on the piano. John-Eric
