Blyth United guest speaker talks on chaos
Greeters at Blyth United Church
on Sunday, Aug. 28, Pentecost 13,
were Mary Walden and Janet
Lawrie. Ushers were Joan and
Lavern Clark and Chris and Jane
Meier. Organist was Michael
Duthie. Les Rutledge assisted in the
worship service.
Call to worship was followed by
the opening hymn Praise God from
Whom All Blessings Flow.
Welcome and announcements were
given by Les Rutledge. He told
congregation that Cenetta Bainton
has been transferred back to
Clinton Hospital, then welcomed
Betty Graber from Brussels, a
registered nurse who works at
Braemar Lodge, Wingham and is
the chairperson of London
Presbytery, who was guest speaker
for the service.
Hymn Lord of the Dance was
sung, followed by Prayer of
Confession in unison and
Assurance of Pardon.
0 Sing a New Song was sung.
The Old Testament lesson, Exodus
1: 8 to 2:10 and New Testament
lesson, Romans 12: 1-8, were read
by Rutledge.
The theme of the sermon was
"Chaos and Choices". Graber
defined Chaos as disorder and
confusion. Some think the only
way to deal with it is to cry and
storm off while others cope very
well, she said. As Christians,
Christians are expected to live and
act their faith every day.
They need to renew confirmation
and church vows. They are
responsible for how they react.
They need to go back to basics of
faith and trust God. They are all
here to work on their faith journey
to promote church love. They are
all the body of Christ. They are
judged by what they do.
Services, Graber said, need to be
directed and simple. Keep church
services open that all may accept
and provide choices in order to
avoid chaos.
People all have a chance to make
choices. Church people say they
trust God. They are seen by what
they do. They all have to be very
clear in their faith.
"As in the story of Moses,
choices were made to let the little
boy live. In our lesson from
Exodus, use information of to day
and the brains you have to make
decisions by being thoughtful. We
have the choice of being a peaceful
person or a disturbed person,"
Graber said.
God has a sense of humor and
expectations to love, she said. God
is in control as the world made it is
orderly. "We have to be part of the
chaotic choices until we die. Enjoy
the choice and challenge as God is
always there to protect us."
Hymn For the Fruits of His
Creation was followed by the
offering and dedication. Pastoral
Prayer was repeated and Lord's
Prayer sung.
The closing hymn was Saviour,
Teach Me Day By Day.
Members are asked to contact
any stewards to make a donation to
the Garage/Bake Sale held during
the Blyth Thresher weekend.

with our anxieties if we put our trust in
