The sermon was Bread that Really
Satisfied. Rev. Ernest Dow spoke of
“our hunger or deadness apart from
Christ.” Referring to John 6:53, Rev.
Down spoke of how Jesus told the
5000, “I tell you the truth, unless
you eat the flesh of the Son of Man
and drink his blood, you have no life
in you.”
He also talked about how “Jesus is
the ‘living bread’ ”, who alone can
truly satisfy our longings.”
Rev. Dow talked about how
“bread of life” can have two mean
ings. It’s alive and it gives life to
others. He reminded the congrega
tion that the communion bread and
juice is not ordinary. There is some
one special behind the meal.
The Blyth Citizens on Patrol held a
meeting Sept. 25 at the home of
George and Ella Ives. The main
focus of the meeting was on ways to
get other residents involved and on
the signs for the village.
The committee had sent a survey
out in June in the PUC bills in an
effort to inform the community
about the Citizens on Patrol and pos
sibly to find people who may be
interested in participating. The com
mittee was disappointed to have only
11 surveys returned out of 475 that
were sent out to the residents of
Blyth.
On the positive side two residents
expressed interest in participating
and several elderly residents were
pleased such a program existed as
they felt much safer in their homes
because of it. The committee
remains optimistic and several sug
gestions were made on getting more
residents from the community
involved.
Information will be posted in the
local churches on the Citizens on
Patrol and community policing pro
grams. Committee members could
take someone out on patrol so they
could see what exactly is involved.
A third suggestion was to meet
with the Citizens on Patrol from
Brussels and exchange information.
The signs for the village showing
this is a Citizens on Patrol communi
ty were shown to the committee and
will be put up this week. George and
Ella Ives made and donated these
signs to the village. Signs such as
these have been a deterrent to crimi-
attend for an evening of fun and
laughter.
KATHY’S QUOTE OF THE
WEEK: A pessimist complains about
the noise when opportunity knocks.
