The Citizen, 2009-11-26, Page 3THE CITIZEN, THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 26, 2009. PAGE 3. Sorry to hear that Ralph McCrea is back in Clinton hospital. We hope he will soon be home to stay. Blyth United Church and the board of stewards would like to say thank you to all who helped make their silent auction and beef supper a success. There were many articles to bid on. BLYTH UNITED CHURCH Greeting at Blyth United Church on Sunday, Nov. 22 was Barb Richmond. Ushering were Joann MacDonald, Brenda Brooks and Terry Richmond. Deb Hakkers ran the power point. Emily Phillips welcomed everyone to church in Rev. GaryClark’s absence. She dreweveryone’s attention to theannouncements in the bulletin andthanked those who supported thestewards in their successful silentauction and beef supper.She noted the new sign on thelawn of the church.The UCW potluck supper is on Thursday, Nov. 26 at 6:30 p.m. and the Sunday school are having a potluck supper on Saturday, Nov. 28 at 6 p.m. The call to worship was followed by the first hymn, For the Fruit of All Creation and the Prayer of Approach. The scripture readings were Luke 10: 25-37 and John 21: 15-17. The children were asked to come to the front of the church for their story time. Gideon Garrett helped Emily light the candles at the front of the church. Emily asked them if they understood the scriptures she had just read about the Good Samaritan. She explained to them that they were like the Good Samaritan when theysent goats to the children in Paderand when they collected schoolsupplies and money for uniformsand sent it to Pader.They said a prayer before goingdownstairs to their time of worshipand fellowship.The next hymn was, When INeeded a Neighbour. Emily’s message to the adults was, Give a Little, Do A Lot. Everyone needs neighbours. People in small towns are lucky to know their neighbours. As Christians, people are asked to go out and tell of God’s love. Through missions and services the congregation and the UCW contribute to help people in other countries and also in their own. Just a little can go along way. The oldest magazine in Canada is the United Church Observer which receives a grant from the mission and service. Emily challenged everyone to just put a loonie in their envelope each Sunday and see how much they can send to the mission and service committee. The choir anthem, One Little Candle was followed by the prayer of confession and the hymn, Homeless People Will You Listen.The offering was receivedfollowed by the prayers for the worldand the singing of The Lord’s Prayer. It was a short ride, but what a journey. Along with 26 other athletes, Blyth resident Jory-Lynn Uyl was selected to play for the Fanshawe Falcons varsity soccer team. At the end of regular season play, the Falcons recorded eight wins, two ties and one loss. Uyl was sixth on the leaders scoreboard for all Ontario colleges. Clinching the divisional title, the Falcons advanced to the OCAA (Ontario College Athletic Association) provincial tournament in Vaughan. Fanshawe defeated Sheridan College from Oakville and Durham College from Toronto, to capture the provincial gold medal. Fanshawe advanced to the CCAA (Canadian College Athletic Association) national championships, held in Vaughan, where five other teams from Canada met to achieve the same goal, the honours of being the best in Canada. Teams competing were Kwantlen Polytechnic University, from British Columbia, Concordia University College of Alberta, Mount Saint Vincent University from Nova Scotia, College Francois-Xavier- Garneau from Quebec, Fanshawe College from London and the host team Humber College from Toronto. Fanshawe won the first game against Nova Scotia 2-0. To get to the gold medal match, the Falcons had to win against Quebec. After a full game and two overtime periods the winner was decided by a five-on-five shootout. Fanshawe came out on top with a 4- 2 victory. In the final gold medal match Fanshawe met up with Concordia. Alberta scored first but late in the first half Uyl scored, tying the game. Both teams played a strong competitive game in the second half. After regulation time had expired, the referee indicated a three-minute additional injury playing time. Alberta managed to score with one minute remaining. Even though Fanshawe came home with the silver, this was the first year since the tournament began in 1991 that an Ontario team has made it to the Gold Medal Match at Nationals. At the awards ceremony, Uyl received the all-star Canadian team award and was named the Ontario College Athlete of the Week. It was a great season, said Uyl. “We were not expected to make it to provincials. But the more we played together on and off the field the stronger we got. We all go all the way next year.” 398 Queen St., Blyth • 519-523-4276 HomefortheHolidays Unique Art Show and Sale Saturday, November 28 10 am - 4 pm Come out and see what’s new and enjoy truly Canadian products!
