Home My WebLink AboutThe Citizen, 2000-02-23, Page 3Grade 6s greet at Blyth UC It was World Development and Relief Sunday on Feb. 20 at Blyth United Church. The Grade 6 class was greeters and the seniors ushered. Karen Giousher was in charge of the nursery. Prior to the service Gayle Poore and Rev. Ernest Dow led the congregation in a sing-song. The opening hymn was Thou Whose Almighty Word. The Choral Kids sang Here I am, Lord and Clap De Hands led by Annie Sparling and Anne Elliott. Sabrina Buffinga accompanied them on the piano. Dohna Moore read the Gospel lesson Mark 1: 29-39. The children’s hymn was Shine, Jesus Shine. The children’s time centred on the ideas that even if you are poor, be generous to other people because it will come back to you. Diane Ferguson gave the highlights of World Development and Relief. The scripture lesson was Isaiah 40: 25-31. The sermon was entitled Mission, Relief and Compassion Fatigue. The congregation was reminded that as the song says “It’s a small world, after all”, yet there are billions of people in the world all with their own unique needs. Rev. Dow reminded all that “Christ’s love compels us to live out the Gospel in practical, caring ways.” Jesus practised what he preached; he did not just talk about love, but demonstrated it, he said. Another important lesson he gave was that “if caring, we may soon be swamped by the world’s need.” Rev. Dow commented that sometimes people might wonder if that means they give to everyone. This is called “compassion fatigue”. Jesus shows that it is through God and people’s relationship with him that they will find the secret to priorities. Doug and Barb Howson, Lloyd Sippel and Mildred Ament took up the offering. Following the service the Sunday School hosted the annual Sweetheart Luncheon to raise money for SWABU1, their foster child.
