Speaker talks of betrayal
The Knox United congregation
was greeted by musical prelude
with Bernice Gross as organist.
Scripture was Matthew 27, where
Judas who had betrayed Jesus
repented and hanged himself. The
silver pieces given by him were
used to buy a potter’s field in
which to bury strangers. The
second reading was from John 12.

Lawsons greet at United
Richard Bain was guest speaker
at Londesboro United Church this
past Sunday. His service theme was
Judas the disciple and his betrayal
of Christ for 30 pieces of silver.
Relevant scripture passages were
Matthew 27: 1-10 and John 12: 1-
8.
Greeting churchgoers were Reg
and Elizabeth Lawson. The ushers
were Harry and Gail Lear.
During the children’s time,
Richard Bain related how
discouraged his daughter was
feeling about some poor marks on
her report card. He told his
daughter and the children that no
one has failed or is less a person for
not being perfect. God’s love looks
beyond faults and sees only the
good in each person.
Although condemned as Christ’s
betrayer, Judas had his role to play
in God’s plan. His actions were an
attempt to realize his dream of a
new social order based on Christ’s
teachings. He expected Christ to
triumph immediately, not
ultimately.
However, feeling himself a
failure, he did not hear Christ call
him friend, nor was he there to
celebrate on Easter morning. God’s
love teaches that failure in doing is
not failure in being; that each
person is precious regardless of
defeats or winnings.
Next Sunday there will be coffee
and muffins served prior to the
morning service.
Londesboro’s annual Songfest
on Jesus and Judas Iscariot
complained. Jesus tpld him “The
poor are always with you and I will
not always be here.”
The sermon was on Judas Iscariot
- the disciple who betrayed Jesus.
Offering was then received by
Nancy and Greg Park.
Richard Bain of Stratford was the
guest minister as Rev. Paul Ross
was at Five Oaks with the
confirmation class.
Her husband, David Sparling
showed slides on India and Nepal.
He and his wife had both been
there on a business trip. They took
extra time for a holiday.
Aubrey Toll led a sing-song. .
Silver Top Lois Haines thanked
the Swinging Seniors and the
Auburnites showed their
appreciation.
Following the Blyth business
meeting everyone left for home.
will be held Sunday, April 9.

The Blyth and District Fire Department was called to Blythe Brooke Orchards on Blyth Road
west of the village, Friday afternoon to extinguish a grass fire which was threatening a
plantation of evergreens. It appears the fire spread from a small bonfire which got out of
control, said Blyth Fire Chief Paul Josling. Very little damage was done.
