BLYTH UNITED CHURCH
Greeting at Blyth United Church
on Sunday, July 24 was Ollie Craig.
Ushers were Terry Richmond, Earl
Fyfe and Ollie Craig. Margaret Kai
was guest organist.
The responsive reading Psalm 105
was followed by the lectionary
reading, Romans 8: 26-39.
Rev. Robin McGauley’s message
to the adults was, “Through Him
Who Loved Us.” We come to church
to confess our sins and to talk to
God. God sits as our judge and will
justify our actions. He gives us a life
free of guilt when we ask Him to
forgive us. God gives us a life of
Hope. We are always to tell the truth
as God’s people.
A moment of silent meditation
followed the sermon.
