Legion, Auxiliary attend Blyth United service
It was Remembrance Sunday at
Blyth United Church on Nov. 5. The
Legion/Auxiliary Branch 420 was
present for the service. Greeters were
Brenda Brooks, Nicole, Colton and
Kelsey Kerr. Ushers were Rick,
Anne, Heather and Jeff Elliott.
Organist was Lynda Lentz. Michelle
McNichol was in charge of the nurs
ery.
Susan Howson read the Gospel
lesson, Mark 9: 38-50.
The theme of the sermon was At
War with Sin: How to have True
Peace. Rev. Ernest Dow talked of
how Canadians are fortunate to have
not experienced war in half a centu
ry.
However, in this country, he
explained, there is a war of a differ
ent kind,” a war against sin and evil.”
Rev. Dow spoke of how both moral
sin and prejudice are enemies that
seek to invade society.
He reminded the congregation
about how the servicemen and
women who fought in the wars “give
us an example of just how far we can
go in opposing evil, how ready we
can be (with God’s help) to lay down
our life in resisting sin and oppres
sion.”
Rev. Dow said, “This week we
remember and honour such troops
who made the ultimate sacrifice to
protect our freedom, such as the right
to meet in public as a Christian
church.” He closed the service by
telling the story of Esther from the
Bible.
Terry Richmond, Rick, Anne and
Heather Elliott collected the offering.
The closing hymn was F.ght the
Good Fight.
The congregation was reminded
that next Sunday is Dedication
Sunday for Operation Christmas
Child ShoeBoxes.
As well next Sunday there is a
meeting after worship to discuss par
ticipation in the upcoming Christmas
parade.
Next Sunday evening’s guest
speaker is Kirk Durston of New
Scholar Society.
Bev and Alex Blair win first early bird draw
Bev and Alex Blair of Blyth were ets in Saturday’s first early bird
winners of 10-free Sweepstakes tick- bonus drawing in the Blyth Bulldogs
Vandals strike
It has been with dismay that Brussels residents have viewed
the gazebo in Homecoming Park since vandals have been
repeatedly since June been damaging spindles from the
side railings. The village has installed a light on the park
property at a cost of $286, which will hopefully be a deter
rent. A $100 reward has been posted for the apprehension
of those involved.
Hockey WIN! WIN! Sweepstakes.
Organizers Dwight Chalmers,
Todd MacDonald and Steven
Sparling are encouraged by the early
response to the Sweepstakes: over
560 tickets were purchased by
Saturday.
“Thanks to the hard work and gen
erosity of people in the community,
we are between two and three weeks
ahead of where we were last year.
We’re working hard to sell out
early,” said Steven Sparling.
People are buying tickets this year
for three main reasons: the Cruiser is
the hottest new vehicle to be
launched in years; many are becom
ing aware of the renovations neces
sary at the community centre; and
tickets make unique Christmas gifts
(the grand prize drawing for a loaded
2001 Chrysler PT Cruiser Limited
Edition valued at approximately
$32,000 will be held at 10 a.m.
Christmas Day).
“In fact, we scheduled the date of
the grand prize drawing this year in
response to buyers who said they
would like to give tickets as gifts,”
said Chalmers.
Only 1,500 tickets will be sold, so
the odds of winning are great and
unlike many vehicle draws, the
grand prize winner only needs to
bring a license plate to the dealer
ship. “The winner of the Cruiser will
pick the colour - we will pay the
taxes,” said MacDonald.
Early Bird bonus prizes, including
Leafs tickets, a limited edition
authentic autographed print, and an
authentic autographed Curtis Joseph
Leafs’ jersey are now on display in
the north window at Black Creek
Clothing, Blyth. The second early
bird bonus drawing will be held
Saturday, Nov. 18. The prize is two
tickets to a Toronto Maple Leafs
game in January 2001. And remem
