Greeting guests and members at
Blyth Christian Reformed Church
on Sunday, Nov. 8 were Mrs.
Gerrie Bakker and Mrs. Femmy
Van Amersfoort.
Rev. Koops of Cambridge CRC
led the morning and afternoon
services of worship. The baptism of
two infant boys Andrew Mark, son
of John and Tina Bos and Travis
Cole, son of Albert and Margaret
Roetcisoender, was celebrated and
witnessed.
Also this past week Ralph and
Veronica DeVries were entrusted
with the precious gift of life, a tiny
daughter named, Adrianna Alena.
Tony de Boer continues to
recuperate from surgery.
This past week the CRC
denomination focused on “World
Hunger Week”, a project of the
Christian Reformed World Relief
Committee. Thirty countries
suffering from poverty around the
world are assisted through the
donations collected.
In the morning service the
Sunday School children presented
their own donations in brown paper
bags at the front of the church so
they could be part of the process of
giving to those less fortunate. The
children were then involved in a
brief exercise illustrating the way
food is distributed around the
world.

The afternoon service began at
2:30 p.m. The sermon title was,
“Young and Strong, Old and
Gray”. Scripture was gleaned from
Prov. 16 and 20.
Rev. Koops summarized that in
our youth we praise God with our
strength and energy while, as we
grow older, wisdom is gained and
used for God's Kingdom work. As
Christians we can face aging with
grace and dignity and an attitude of
hope.
