Greeters at Blyth United Church
on Sunday, Oct. 24 were Linda
Wilson and Lois van Vliet. Ushers
were David Marshall, Shawn,
Lavern and Ross Clark.
Rev. Pamela Tolmay conducted
the service, opening with the call to
worship, which was followed by
the hymn, "God of Mercy", the
prayer of approach and prayer of
confession. The responsive reading
was Psalm 90, '0 Lord, you have
been our refuge'.
For the children's time Rev.
Tolmay brought a bag of candy,
which was counted, then divided by
three to represent the food of the
world. She then gave one-third to
four of the children, while the two
other children received two-thirds
of the candy. The children said this
was not fair. After talking about the
New team joins
soccer league
Next summer when the North
Huron Soccer teams compete there
will be a new addition to the league
with the recent announcement of
the inclusion of the St. Columban
team.
Herb Van Amersfoort, who over-
sees the Blyth program, says that in
the Atom, Mosquito and PeeWee
divisions there should be approxi-
mately 600 children playing in the
league this summer. As well there
are children playing in the younger
age groups.
Though Blyth soccer began six
years ago this will mark its third
season with the league, which also
includes teams from Goderich,
Lucknow, Wingham, and Clinton.
Mr. Van Amersfoort says the
league has grown rapidly over the
years and though it continues to
grow they don't want things to hap-
pen too quickly as they hope to
maintain the simplicity of the
league, which is not connected to
the Official Soccer Association.
St. Columban is on a one-year
probation period, Mr. Van Amers-
foort says to see how they blend
with the other teams, in regards to
sportsmanship, competitiveness
and discipline.
The soccer season begins in
Blyth in May and there are 10-12
games before the season wraps up
in July. Last year 70 young athletes
were registered in four divisions.
The Blyth home field is presently
in Belgrave, though organizers con-
tinue to look for a local field.
Coaches are: Mr. Van Amers-
foort, Hillie Blok, Nancy Hakkers,
Tony Van der Lie, Casey Boven,
David Onn and Audrey Bos.
Greeters on Sunday, Oct. 24 at
Blyth Christian Reformed Church
were elders Martin Wilts and Mery
Datema. Rev. Heersink led the
worship service and communion.
The scripture reading was from
Isaiah 25 with text being verse 9,
"Let us rejoice and be glad in his

salvation."
In this chapter Isaiah is calling
the people to repent their sins.
What was true for believers in
Isaiah's time is still true. Christ's
death on the cross was for all; we
should all rejoice that because of
this God shows us his great love for
us.
Communion is a sacrament in
which sinners have to face sins, but
through the grace that can be
received freely from God, though
they will remain sinners, belief and
love of God can mean they are
saved sinners.
world food and realizing that this is
what is happening to the food Rev.
Tolmay divided the candy evenly
among the children.
The choral kids sang "A Great
Big God". The congregation sang
"0 God of Light".
The scripture reading was I
Thess. 2: 1-8 and Matt. 22: 34-46.
Hymn, "Lord of All Power" was
sung.
The sermon title was, "Bread of
Life". Rev. Tolmay spoke on world
hunger. She stated that 30 children
every minute die of hunger. This is
not counting adults or teenagers.
When you look at the news
coverage, there is little mention of
these children. We must learn to
love ourselves so we can aid others,
she said. Look at the U.S., always
trying to make themselves bigger,
better, the best, then to Canadians,
the closest nation. Are we trying to
follow? she asked. We moan about
the recession, but has anyone here
suffered from hunger because of
the recession, Rev. Tolmay asked?
Take a look at yourself. Do you
truly love yourself? Do you see
what others need? Do they need
what we need?
She said, in relationships with
each other and the community
everyone must try and love one
another. We should care for each
other as a nurse cares for her
children. We are all precious. A
suffering person needs to know
someone loves him. We can't
change the world. But we can try
and help one person. We can't save
the children, Rev. Tolmay said, but
we can join a group to help them.
Teach your children that they are
privileged we can enjoy a good
meal each day, she said.
Cappy Onn sang a solo titled
"The Servant Song". Anniversary
supper is Friday, Oct. 29 at 7:30.
Next week is Anniversary Sunday.
Guest speaker is Rev. R. Vipond.
The Harvest Bonanza is in need
of helpers. Volunteers should call
Brenda Burkholder. Frances Bearss
was in charge of Junior
Congregation and Donna Hamm
was in the nursery. The fmal hymn
"Take My Life" was sung.
In recognition of World Day of
Hunger, the Sunday School
sponsored a lunch. A ticket draw
determined whether persons ate in
the first world or third world. Third
world ate soup, crackers and fruit,
while first world was served salads,
chicken, potatoes, vegetables and
cake. Everyone was aware of the
others' meal.
A discussion followed on
feelings. This was a good exercise.
The proceeds went to the Sunday
School foster child.
