Blyth congregation celebrates Palm Sunday
It was Palm Sunday at Blyth
United with the season colour
being red. The Sunday School
children participated. Greeters were
Herb and Corey Shannon while
ushers were Michelle Cook and
Justin Peters. Rev. Stephen Huntley
conducted the service and Phyllis
Boak was organist.
The Sunday School children
proceeded into the church carrying
palm leaves. They led the
congregation in singing Join the
Celebration of the World, with
Rev. Huntley accompanying on
guitar.
Following the children's hymn,
Tell Me The Stories of Jesus, Rev.
Huntley outlined the story of
Simba, in The Lion King,
comparing him to Jesus corning
back to His Kingdom and being a
special kind of King -- King of
Kings!
The choir rendered an anthem, In
His Blessed Presence, accompanied
by Mrs. Bonk on piano.
Harvey McDowell read the Old
Testament lesson from Isaiah and
the New Testament from Philip-
pians, while the Gospel reading,
from Matthew, chapter 21: 1-11,
was read by the minister.
The sermon was entitled, "Who
Is This?"
Rev. Huntley said, two thousand
years ago, Jesus came, into His 'city
and people were asking who this
Nurse
speaks at
Blyth UCW
Blyth UCW met in the church
parlour Tuesday evening, March 26
with 22 ladies in attendance.
The theme for the meeting was
"children". President Emily Phillips
opened with the reading "Children
Learn What They Live". Brenda
Brooks was in charge of the
worship and had scripture readings,
a story, a thought for the day and
prayer relating to children.
Mary Lou Stewart introduced the
guest speaker, Connie Kuc, a
Public Health Nurse. Connie gave
an interesting, informative and
challenging talk. She spoke of her
role in today's society where the
traditional family unit is missing in
many homes. Young mothers
receive help with shopping, caring
for babies, household safety and
often, much needed moral support.
Connie and her coworkers also help
older children and their families
cope with situations such as drugs
in school and peer pressure.
Children need to be involved and
participate in programs.
Anyone can give troubled parents
and children a smile and a word of
encouragement. We were reminded
that the city has come to the
country, with its problems.
Mary Lou thanked Connie and
presented her with a donation for
the Survival Through Friendship
House.
Roll call was answered by the
giving of a gift to the Survival
Through Friendship House.
Emily conducted the business
segment of the meeting. There are
now casseroles available for
anyone in need. It was suggested
that in future, it would be helpful if
the date of making and the cooking
instructions were included.
Catharine Caldwell read the
minutes from the previous meeting.
Joann McDonald gave the financial
report. Joan Clark brought the news
from Camp Menesetung.
person was and what all the fuss
was about. "There is something
compelling about humility. People
wanted a worldly King someone
to stick it to the Romans. Instead
they got a suffering servant, a
shepherd and a slave."
In closing he said, "Jesus knew
who He was. We are all very
important people in Jesus' eyes,
even though we struggle with sin,
imperfection which is unacceptable
in the world's eyes of high
standing. Do we know who we are
in Christ?"
Following the sermon there was a
report on the auction which was
held last Friday. It was haled a
resounding success, not just
monetary but in the fact of
everyone pulling together.
The Sacrament of Holy
Communion followed. The elders
were assisted by the mid-week
Youth Group, Anthony and
Jonathon Sanderson, Rachel de
Boer, Jac.:ie Falconer, Jenny
Ritchie and Amanda Cook.
The service concluded with the
hymn Ride on, Ride on in Majesty.
The choral response was "Go Now
in Peace".
In hospital are Lillian Richl in
Clinton and Marion Wright and
George Cowan in Wingham.
High school individuals
interested in becoming members of
Blyth United Church are to contact
Rev. Huntley. Confirmation classes
will begin after Easter.
