Blyth Artisan Market aims for May 31 By Denny Scott The Citizen With a final hurdle of fording a temporary home still in place, the Blyth Artisan Market will soon be seeking vendors for its May 31 opening. The market, a Blyth Business Improvement Area (BIA) initiative with funding from the Regional Tourism Operation 4 (RTO4), will feature "local makers of anything", according to organizer Amy Zoethout. She and the BIA are currently working with North Huron Township to try and secure a location to operate until its permanent home opens behind 374 Queen Street, the structure north of Blyth Memorial Hall. The market will run Thursdays from 3:30 p.m. to 8 p.m. from May 31 to Sept. 13. The market will also run four Sundays, July 8 and 15 and Aug. 12 and 19, from noon to 5 p.m. As of North Huron's last council meeting on May 7, market organizers were asking for the weekly event to run on Dinsley Street. The request asked the street be closed from the intersection of Dinsley and Queen Streets west to the alleys that run behind main street stores. "We're waiting on confirmation from council before we start getting the word out," she said, saying timing to get the market started is limited due to the brief timeframe Church welcomes guest speaker Kai From Marilyn's Desk By Marilyn Craig Call 523-9318 Greeting worshippers at Blyth United Church on Mother's Day May 13 were Brenda Brooks and Nicole Kerr. Ushering were Karen Glousher and Rob and Cole Mason. Marilyn Scott was organist and Katie Dockstader, choir director. Emily Phillips introduced the guest speaker, David Kai (nephew of Margaret and Don Kai). David welcomed everyone to church and drew everyone's attention to the announcements printed in the bulletin. David invited everyone to greet one another. The first hymn, "Love Divine, All Loves Excelling" was sung followed by the lighting of the Christ candle on the altar table. The call to worship was repeated responsively followed by the prayer of approach said in unison. For the children and all those young at heart, David brought along his guitar and sang a song that he had written for his mother. Each letter of the word "mother" had a line in the song. The hymn, "Jesus Loves Me" was sung. The scripture reading was from John 10: 7-14.

David's message to the congregation "Home Shepherding." We all repeated the 23rd Psalm. We are all part of the home shepherding. We are either parents, coaches, teachers, grandparents and we all are shepherds. A shepherd is to guide and look after the sheep while we are to shepherd our children and help them along life's journey. The church nurturers all of us no matter our age. We are all like the sheep we wander away from God and He has to bring us back to the fold. All that we are today is largely because of our mothers with God's help. The next hymn, "God is My Shepherd" was sung. The offering was received followed by the offertory response "Your Work, 0 God, Needs Many Hands," the offertory prayer, the singing of the hymn "God Our Protector" leading into prayer, the prayers for the people, silent prayers and the singing of the Lord's Prayer. The last hymn "All the Way My Saviour Leads Me" was followed by the benediction and the singing of the response "Wherever You May Go." Everyone was invited for treats and coffee and to meet David. association with the RTO4 funding. Zoethout said she hopes to attract an average of 10 vendors every week, including food producers and local crafts people. The market will open just before Blyth Festival theatre audience members depart Thursday matinees and close shortly after the Festival's night show starts, allowing vendors a somewhat captivated audience according to Zoethout. She also said that she thinks residents of Blyth and the surrounding area will come out to support local vendors. Vendors can contact Zoethout at blythartisanmarket@gmail.com to get involved. The market will also feature local musicians who will perform from 5- 7 p.m. Zoethout has also encouraged local musicians to contact her. The BIA looked to Zoethout as she, her husband George and their business partner Dana Lumby currently run the Goderich Makers Mercantile and Creative Space. The commercial space followed the three crafting a market similar in function to the Blyth Artisan Market, getting involved with the Goderich BIA and finding such success that it became a year-round project. Zoethout said working with North Huron and the Blyth BIA has provided a similar start-up experience and said she was very happy the Blyth BIA asked for her support with the project.

(shown Coughlin photo) He who walks by Scripture rule (Thomas Brooks) "How can a young man keep his way pure? By living according to Your Word." Psalm 119:9 "I have hidden Your Word in my heart, that I might not sin against you." Psalm 119:11 If you would not be outwitted by any of Satan's evil schemes, then walk by the rule of the Word of God. He who walks by Scripture rule, walks most safely. He who walks by Scripture rule, walks most honorably. He who walks by Scripture rule, walks most sweetly. When men throw off the Word, then God throws them off --and then Satan takes them by the hand, and leads them into snares at his pleasure. He who thinks himself too good to be ruled by the Word, will be found too bad to be owned by God; and if God does not, or will not own him --then Satan will by his stratagems overthrow him. Those who walk by Scripture rule, shall be kept in the hour of temptation. "Blessed is the man who does not walk in the counsel of the wicked or stand in the way of sinners or sit in the seat of mockers. But his delight is in the law of the LORD, and on His law he meditates day and night." Psalm 1:1-2 "Sanctify them by the truth; Your Word is truth."
