The Legion Auxiliary is changing
the date of their annual penny sale to
May 21-24. This will happen the
weekend that the country music
singing contest is in Blyth so that
will be a busy weekend.

support Mikayla Ansley and her
family at the arena on Friday night.
Everyone had a great time and
helped the family to recover some of
their expenses. Congratulations to all

I have spent the week with my

surgery to repair a hole in the retina
of my eye. By the time this comes
out I will once again be allowed to
hold my head up.
BLYTH UNITED CHURCH
Greeting at Blyth United Church
on Sunday, April 27 were Joan and
Lavern Clark. Ushering were Karen
Glousher and Brenda Brooks. Guest
pianist was Amanda Swartzentruber.
Guest speaker Emily Phillips,
standing in for Sandy Morris, who
has been sick with the flu, welcomed
everyone to church. The
congregation hopes Sandy is feeling
better soon.
Lorna Fraser announced that the
Sunday school is collecting articles
from Camp Menesetung’s wish list
and that they can be placed in the
tent. During May they will be doing
a minute for Menesetung to tell the
congregation about the history of the
camp.
She also explained that the Sunday
school is collecting socks for the
Women’s Shelter during May.
Lori Brooks gave an update from
the joint search committee.
The first hymn was As the Deer
Pants for the Water, Psalm 42.
The call to worship was followed
by the opening prayer and the new
Creed was read in unison.
The choir sang an anthem, Lead
Me To The Rock.
The hymn In the Bulb There is a
Flower was sung while the children
gathered at the front of the church.
Emily showed the children a tulip
and asked them where a tulip comes
from. They answered “the garden,
the earth, the dirt, and finally a bulb.”
She showed them a gladiola bulb and
told them that spring flowers grew
from bulbs which look dead when
planted, but in spring they grew into
beautiful flowers. She compared
them to the resurrection of Christ, in
that life comes out of something that
is dead.
The Lord’s Prayer was sung.
Scripture reading was from Genesis
1: 6-9 and the 66th Psalm was read
responsively followed by 1stCorinthians 12: 5-11.Emily’s message to the adults was,Garden Flowers Are Like People,They Come In Different Colours,Shapes and Sizes. She talked about the differences in flowers.The prayers of the people werefollowed by the offering beingreceived and the offertory prayer.The last hymn, was, It Only Takesa Spark.
A light moment

With the departure of county
engineer Don Pletch, North Huron
council thinks it might be time to re-
send the letter regarding the request
for a crosswalk in Blyth.
Councillor Greg McClinchey
brought up the issue at the April 21
meeting wondering what was being
done.
A parent had asked council to
consider some type of safety
measure for youngsters crossing
Queen Street at King Street to and
from school.
Council asked the county to post a
school crossing sign at the
intersection. Another option was
posting a community safety zone
while a third recommendation was to
signalize the intersection.
All three were denied by the
county engineer.
“Perhaps we should re-submit our
letter,” said councillor Archie
MacGowan.
Clerk-administrator Kriss Snell
agreed, adding that a meeting is
being set up with the warden as well.
