hymn "Walk With Me" was sung.
The responsive prayer was said with
sign language as part of the
response. The scripture reading was
from Exodus 3:1-14, the story of
Moses being asked by God to save
his family. The choir sang the
anthem "Keep Me Safe 'Til the
Storm Passes."
Rev. Clark's message to the
congregation was "Moses Feels the
Heat." It is hard to imagine that
Moses was an average man just like
us. He was a shepherd looking after
his father-in-law's sheep. God asks
Moses to go and save his family but
Moses says he is not worthy, he
doesn't know what to say. God
reminds Moses that he is safe but his
family is not. God asks Moses to be
the answer to his family's prayers.
Moses is like our ministers of today,
they leave their families behind and
minister to others. The door closes
on the past and a new door opens to
the future.
God knows Moses' strengths and
ours too. God tells Moses that he
knows the laws of the land and of the
royal courts. We are who we are. We
must push through our fears to find
ourselves. We risk failure for the
good of others. The world may be a
FROM BLYTH
The humblest labourers in His vineyard!
("Every Day!" Author unknown, 1872)
"Whoever serves Me must follow Me; and where I am — My servant also
will be.
My Father will honour
What an honour it is to be a servant of the Lord Jesus! It is an honour that
is not confined to any particular condition in outward life. Not only are
ministers and missionaries Christ's servants — but also the humblest
labourers in His vineyard! Nor is service to Christ confined to direct
efforts in spiritual work:
the mother in the midst of her family, endeavouring by her spirit and
example to train her children aright;
the servant in the kitchen, doing her work heartily as to the Lord;
the hard working labourer in the field;
the attentive mechanic in the shop;
the honest clerk in the office —
not rendering eye -service as a men-pleasers, but doing their work faithfully
and
All of these are as truly Christ's servants — as those who are occupied
more exclusively in spiritual work!
All who serve Jesus faithfully here — will dwell with Him hereafter. All
who follow Him on earth in the path of self-denying love and obedience —
will share His glory in Heaven.
Servant of Christ, called now to suffer reproach and shame — let the
assurance of your Saviour cheer you: "Whoever serves Me must follow
Me; and where I am — My servant also will be. My Father will honour the
one who serves Me!"

better place because we have taken a
risk. When we risk a glimpse of
others we get a glimpse of heaven.
We discover love.
The hymn "What Wondrous Love
is This" was sung. The offering was
received followed by the response
"Praise God from Whom All
Blessings Flow," the prayer of
dedication, the prayers for the
people, silent prayers and the
singing of the Lord's Prayer.
The hymn "I Feel the Winds" was
sung followed by the benediction
and the response "May God's
Sheltering Wings." Everyone
was invited for coffee, juice
and snacks.

The Legion has a supply of canes, crutches, wheelchairs,
walkers, raised toilet seats for any person in our district
who may require the use of them. A special thanks goes
out to the Legion and Ladies Auxiliary members and
any others who have assisted in making this one of the
best poppy campaigns ever. Poppy Week will go from
October 29th to November 11th.
Poppy Chairperson Donna Govier would like to thank all
who made the 2015 Campaign a success, final calculations
indicate gross receipts approaching $5,452.65 earmarked
for service to veterans and their families. As the 2016
campaign approaches it seems appropriate to thank all
who donated during the door to door canvass last
November. A special thanks to all the businesses and
organizations for their continuing support and also to
comrades Thelma and Ric.
Yours truly,
Poppy Campaign Chairperson Donna Govier
