Blyth United sermon topic on finding Jesus
It was the third Sunday of Easter
with the seasonal colour white for
the service of Blyth United Church,
April 21. Greeters were Fred and
Hanny Meier. Ushers were the
Elmer Sanderson family.
Rev. Stephen Huntley conducted
the service and Barb Bosman was
organist. The Bible was placed on
the pulpit by Jeffrey Elliott. Anita
Bromley was in charge of the
nursery.
Rev. Huntley opened the service
with Call to Worship, Introit and
announcements. Hymn Holy, Holy,
Holy was sung followed by Prayer
of Confession and Assurance of
Pardon.
Following the children's hymn
Jesus Loves Me the choir sang an
anthem Where No One Stands
Alone with solo part taken by Garth
Walden.
Shawn Clark read the Old
Testament lesson from Acts 2:
14A, 36-31, and New Testament
from I Peter I: 17-23.
Rev. Huntley read the gospel
from Luke 24: 13-55. His sermon
was "Finding Jesus Today". He
referred to a story of a mother to
whom many parents can relate. For
years she had prayed that her two
sons would return to faith. Then
one Sunday morning in church, her
two sons came in and sat across the
aisle from her.
Afterward she asked what
The 1995-1996 Scouting year is
in the last quarter now, and the
calendar is full.
Beavers celebrated Easter with
an 'egg hunt' and are planning a
visit to Walk-a-bott Creek near
Gorrie, where there are animals to
see, a park, a pond, a slide, and
several other attractions.
They are going to share their
experiences in a letter to Elliott
Diamond in Australia, who was
active as a Beaver while he was in
Blyth in the fall.
Cubs are studying space. At a
recent meeting they dressed one of
their leaders as a spaceman. John
Battye will be a guest soon to
demonstrate his rockets, and the
boys are excited about trying
homemade compressed air rockets.
They also have plans to do some
;leanup work around Blyth as part
)f their environmental badge work.
As part of the Toronto Raptors'
'Salute to Scouting" several Blyth
icouts, along with some family
nembers and friends attended the
vlarch 31 game at the Skydome.
Although the home team lost, it
was a wonderful opportunity for
those who attended, and a great
time was enjoyed.
With better weather hopefully on
the way many more activities are

prompted their return to faith. The
younger son said that while
vacationing and raining very hard,
they came upon an old man without
an umbrella, walking with a limp.
They stopped and picked him up.
He was on his way to church three
miles down the road.
Since they had nothing better to
do, they decided to wait and take
him home after church. As the two
brothers listened to the reading of
the scriptures and sat through the
breaking of the bread, something
moved them deeply.
This story of the two brothers
and their encounter with the
stranger on the road bears a
resemblance to today's gospel, Rev.
Huntley said. The two disciples
travelling along the Emmaus road
had once followed Jesus with hope
and joy. Then came the stormy
hours of Good Friday, shattering
their hopes and dreams.
Disillusioned, they left Jesus in an
unmarked tomb and returned to
their former ways.
They met the stranger on the
Emmaus road on Easter Sunday
morning. The disciples listened
then watched him break bread.
They were deeply moved. The
stranger was Jesus. He was alive
and risen.
Christians, too, have stormy
periods in their lives when faith

gets tested, Rev. Huntley said.
"During such periods perhaps we
sinned against God. Perhaps we got
disillusioned with the Christian
faith. Perhaps we even left the
church. Today's gospel contains an
important message for all of us -
especially for those still searching
for Jesus or for those who have lost
Jesus." "We should recall another
traveller Paul on the road to
Damascus. Paul was confused. He
hadn't persecuted Jesus; he had
persecuted only his followers. Then
it dawned on Paul that Jesus and
his followers were one. They were
like a head and a body. Trying to
separate Jesus from his church, the
community of his followers, was
like trying to separate our own head
from our body. Years later Paul
expressed this mystery in his letter
to the Colossians: 'Jesus is the head
of his body, the church; he is the
source of the body's life'." "If we

will be the way the disciples found
him on the road to Emmaus. It will
be the way Paul found him on the

way the two brothers found him on

in the breaking of the bread."
