Greeting at Blyth United Church
Sunday, June 1 were Lois van Vliet
and Lorna Fraser. Ushering was
Elaine Brown. Guest musician was
Margaret Kai.
The choir sang How Lovely is Thy
Dwelling Place.
The children’s hymn was Para,
Para, Piller Pat. For the children’s
story Rev. Eugen Bannerman
showed them a garden stick with a
quote on it, “Kiss of the Sun for
Pardon, Song of the birds for mirth,
one is nearer God’s heart in the
garden than anywhere else on earth”.
He told the children that God’s first
job was to make a garden and then
He made Adam and Eve to live in the
garden.
When the sun kisses us, it makes
us feel good, the songs of the birds
make us cheerful, Rev. Bannerman
said. God made many different kinds
of flowers as He did many different
kinds of people in this world.
The dramatized lectionary reading
was from Acts 17: 16-34. Those
taking part were Amelia Carter-
Brown and Brandilyn, Amanda and
Wyatt Bearss.
The responsive reading was Psalm
1. The Epistle Reading was 1
Corinthians: 34-37.
Rev. Bannerman’s message was A
Garden in Athens.

spoke on the flowers of the Bible.
Before 1700 there was no universal
system for identifying flowers.
Poppies, larkspur, tulip and
narcissus are all mentioned in the
Bible.
Jan had a display of flowers and
herbs she grows in her garden, which
are all mentioned in the Bible.
Corn, used as grain, was not
identified outside North America
until the settlers came.
In the Middle East, thistle-like
plants that don’t need a lot of water
were grown.
Gideon used thorn trees to fight.
Hebrews in exile brought grape,
melon and cucumber seeds from
Egypt. Watchmen lived in temporary
shelters to watch the crops and seeds.
Olive trees may live 1,000 years.
The Hebrews used olive oil for
cooking and lighting their lamps.
Noah grew a vineyard after the
flood and was the first person to
make wine.
