Greeting guests and members
with a hearty handshake on Aug. 9
at Blyth Christian Reformed
Church were Albert and Alma
Hessels.
The congregation was informed
of the passing of long-time member
Mr. Gerrit Beimers. Funeral
arrangements will take place early
in the week.
The service opened with reading
the Law from the New Testament,
Romans 12; The collection was
taken up for local church and
deaconal work.
Scripture for the message was
chosen from Philippines 4 with
verse 13 as the focal text, “I can do
all things in Him who strengthens
me.” Mr. Robert Datema prepared
and delivered the sermon. He began
by asking if anyone had ever
experienced the feeling of being
boxed in, and stiffled at times; that
life is a bit of a rate race? Paul's
supernatural strength and ability to
cope with life's agenda came from
Christ, his source of peace and
contentment.
As Christians in 1992 we also
can claim Christ as our lifeline, he
said, just as Paul had in New
Testament limes. Our pride and
egos tend to make us achievement
oriented and self-made people. Yet
in our world of confusion it is vital
to call on him as our “source”.
The hymn of response to the
message was No. 449, “Fill Thou
My Life”, with Glenn^ Buffinga
serving as organist.
Your Guilt Feelings sermon title
Greeters at Blyth United Church
Aug. 9 were Vera Badley and
Bonnie Shannon. Ushers were
Laverne, Joan and Shawn Clark.
Mr. George Cowan, guest
minister, opened the service with
the call to worship, which was
followed by the singing of “Joyful
Joyful We Adore Thee”. The
responsive reading and scripture
reading from Matthew 6: 24-30
followed. The choir sang, “I am
Weak But Thou Art Strong”
Native theatre to tour
Another exciting cultural
exchange is taking place in Blyth in
August when The Native Theatre
School visits for three days. The
company will perform an original
theatre collective piece developed
by taking the unique virtues
indicated in the songs and dances
of the Ojibway, Cree and Iroquois

Memorial Hall on Monday, August
17 at 8:30 p.m.
New owner
The Blyth Mini Mart exchanged hands Aug. 1. Mr. Fred
Tilley has sold the store to Mrs. Arlene Wood of London,
both pictured here. Mrs. Wood does not anticipate any
changes to the store as it is. Mr. Tilley and his wife are
now going to enjoy retirement.
The focus of the Native Theatre
School is to encourage students to
create plays based on their own
understanding of their traditions
and cultures. It provides the
technical and artistic background
necessary for a career in the theatre
as well as nurturing self
confidence, self expression and
identity.
The objective is to produce
graduates who have personal and
technical skills necessary for a
career in the performing arts. NTS
graduates use the art of theatre to
explore and strengthen their
identities as Native Canadians. The
core program provides an intense
workshop instruction in theatre
skills and provides exposure to
native and non-native audiences.
The Native Theatre Company
will arrive in Blyth on Sunday
August 16 (evening) and depart
Tuesday August 18 (morning).
Those people interested in billeting
one or two of the Company may

"...because of its special mandate, the theatre
deservedly enjoys a national profile...through its
development of original works that often find
continued life elsewhere."
