Greeting worshippers at Blyth
United Church on Sunday, April 8
were Terry Richmond and Marilyn
Craig. The flowers at the front of the
church were in memory of Don
Craig, Lyle Ansley, Jim and Doreen
Smith, Doug Small and Tyler
Wilson, placed by their families. The
Christ Candle was lit by Mason
Campbell. Fred Hakkers ran the
power point.
Rev. Clark drew everyone’s
attention to the announcements that
had been scrolling on the power
point with special mention that the
ladies would be making the last of
the meat pies on April 25. There are
a few tickets left for Women’s Day
Out. One of the guest speakers will
be Erin Bolger. If you have a copy of
Erin’s cookbook she will autograph
it for you if you bring it along.
The choir began the Easter service
with the singing of “Easter
Hallelujah” verses one and two. The
scripture reading was the Easter
story read from Mark 16: 1-8. The
choir sang the third verse of the
“Easter Hallelujah”. The call to
worship was said responsively
followed by the prayer of approach
and the singing of the first hymn,
“Jesus Christ is Risen Today”.
The children were asked to come
to the front for their story time.
Rev.Clark had a bag of Easter eggs
and he asked the children what they
thought was in the egg. One answer
was chocolate. He opened the egg up
and there was a chocolate egg inside.
Rev. Clark gave each child an egg
and asked them to open it. They
were empty. He then asked them
how many crosses were in the
church. There was one at the front
and another covered with palm
leaves at the side. He told the
children that when Mary and the
women went to the tomb where
Jesus was buried, they found it

The evidence of Gospel salvation
Charles H. Spurgeon
“Who has saved us, and called us with a holy calling.” 2 Timothy 1:9
Gospel salvation is accompanied by a holy calling. Those whom the Saviour saved upon
the cross–are in due time effectually called by the power of the Holy Spirit unto
holiness. They leave their sins; they endeavour to be like Christ; they choose holiness,
from the compulsion of a new nature and new affection, which lead them to rejoice in
holiness–just as naturally as aforetime they delighted in sin.
God neither chose them nor called them because they were holy–but He called them that
they would be holy. This holiness is evidenced by the graces produced by His
workmanship in them. The graces which we see in a believer are as much the work of
God–as the atonement itself.
Such is the evidence of Gospel salvation--a holy life.

The Grade 7/8 students will be
watching for classes who waste
energy. The “Energy Beast”, project,
organized by Ms Clark, is a fun
contest to reduce our school’s
ecological footprint and name one
class as the “Energy Beast” of our
school.
In the Grade 6/7 class, students are
writing persuasive letters following
the reading of the story “I Wanna
Iguana.” The letters will be to their
parents to negotiate a rule or
convince them into allowing them to
get something they really want.
Their parents will be responding
with letters of their own. They are
also working on their dances and
Ms. Clark claims that she has nearly
had a heart attack a couple of times
due to the stunts and tricks the
students are attempting in class.

The Grade 1/2 class is working on
Easter activities, and they are also
talking about the “well fundraiser”
for Africa with Kids Giving Water.
We asked Paige in Grade1/2 what
she was doing for Easter and she
said “watching movies”. We also
asked Nick from Grade 1/2 what he
was doing, he said “he was going to
his Grandma’s to have an Easter egg
hunt”. Have a safe and Happy
Easter!

All students this week were
especially excited for the long
weekend. Lots of kids are enthused
about what they are doing on the
long weekend, whether it’s visiting
with friends and family or having an
Easter egg hunt. Most of the classes
are either just getting into new
things or finishing up old activities.
Mr. Gole’s Grade 2 class is really
having fun fingerpainting in art and
is excited for the weekend because
