Envy topic of Blyth Christian Reformed service
The scripture reading for the
Aug. 15 service at Blyth Christian
Reformed Church was taken from I
Samuel 18 v. 1-11. The sermon was
titled "The Eye of Envy".
Rob Datema led the morning
service. He began the service
talking about the eye. The eye is a
complicated tool that enables us to
see the beauty of God's world, he
said. The eye is such a wonderful
gift from God it helps us in our
daily work and everything we do.
But the eye can also see things that
Greeters at Blyth United Church
on Aug. 15 were Vera Badley and
Lloyd Sippel. Ushers were Les and
Shirley Rutledge and Jim and
Thelma Wilson. Guest speaker
Muriel Coultes opened the service
with hymn "New Every Morning is
the Love," followed by prayer and
responsive reading No. 626, "To
you Lord I lift up my soul."
The children's story was about a
pin wheel. When the wind blows it
Pastor Tom Warner preached
from Timothy 11 and Hebrews on
Sunday, Aug. 15 at Brussels
Mennonite Fellowship. He pointed
out that some who make
commitments will fall away from
the Christian lifestyle. A
commitment brings expectations
but God gives power for us to
This past week the trusses were
erected on the new Huron CAS
Family Resource Centre in
Goderich. According to project
architect, Allan Avis, the building
construction is proceeding well and
on time. Mr. Avis said, "We are all
very pleased with the way the
(CAS) building project is taking
shape. If all goes well, the Agency
staff will be able to start moving
into its new home before the end of
the year."
A committee has been struck to
review the year-round playground
design. Sheila McCaffrey, Family
Service Supervisor, advised the
committee that the introduction of
an outdoor play area combined
with a well equipped family visit
room inside the building will assist
in alleviating some of the anxiety
children experience when they are
brought into the Society's centre.
"A friendly face in a friendly place
does wonders for a child's morale,"
according to McCaffery who
estimates that possibly 20 children
will be in the new building over the
course of an average day, based on
past client demands for the
purposes of visits with family,
counselling sessions, and during
child abuse investigations.
For young adolescents and
teenagers, quiet reading areas will
be provided. The challenge of
providing interest centres for older
make us sin, caused by envy. Being
envious is an age old sin that has
been committed by many figures in
the Bible, Mr. Datema said.
The scripture reading talks about
Saul being envious of David. Saul
couldn't take the people of his
kingdom being more devoted to
David than himself. Saul's jealousy
and envy made him a very bitter
person because he wanted
everything that David seemed to
possess, Mr. Datema said. Instead
of Saul turning to God and
repenting, he let his envy eat him
makes it move although the wind is
invisible. Just like God whom
cannot see yet he teaches us to love
and be kind to all.
Scripture readings were from
Deuteronomy and 1 Corinthians
15; 1-5; 58 & 60. The congregation
sang "Lord Speak to Me".
The sermon "Do Everything in
Love" was based on Paul's first
letter to the Corinthians, that love is
patient, kind, not selfish. Prayer
fulfill the expectations if we are
faithful to Him and will accept this
empowerment.
Barbara Fyn accompanied by her
father, Robby Fyn provided special
music for the service. The Worship
Band (Gary and Wendy Martin,
and Christy Pardys) were in charge
of the music for the congregational
children is currently well beyond
the financial means of the Society.
The $312,000 needed to fund the
completion of the new building is
top priority of the Society for the
time being. Current rental and
maintenance costs of $60,000 a
year will be saved with the use of
the new building and the staff is
hopeful, says Ms. McCaffery, that
this savings will be applied to
programs for the County's most
vulnerable citizens, our children at
risk of abuse or neglect.
In the past three years the
Society's intake has increased by
over 53 per cent. Unless economic
conditions improve dramatically
over the next few months, the
incidence of child abuse will
continue to rise, according to Ms.
McCaffrey. Unemployment or
underemployment, tends to wreak
havoc on families under pressure.

up.
Saul's envy was so great that he
became obsessed with killing
David. In this passage it says twice
he threw his spear at David hoping
to pin David to the wall.
Envy diminishes our joy of life.
We should try to rid ourselves of
the things that we envy and keep
our eyes on Jesus Christ for true
abundant life, said Mr. Datema.
The evening service was led by
Rev. Ken Benjamins. He
administered the sacrament of
baptism to Katelyn Nicole.

The service closed with prayer,
then the hymn "Take up Thy
Cross" followed by the benediction
and the singing of 'To God Be The
Glory."
