The Huron County Museum
presents March Break Mayhem
children’s programs.
The programs take children
travelling without leaving Huron
County, by investigating the lives of
children around the world.
Programs take place March 13, 14
and 15. Each afternoon features a
different theme and set of fun-filled,
hands-on activities.
Children, ages five to 10, are
invited to take part in the programs,
which run from 1 p.m. - 4 p.m. The
cost is $10 per child per day. Pre-
registration is required.
March 13 is Italy. Discover why
the Leaning Tower of Pisa leans,
design a mosaic, and practise the art
of quilling.
On March 14, children will
investigate Japanese toys and games.
They will design a Japanese kite,
learn to play Jan Ken Pon and Kai-
awase, and make their own kokeshi
doll.
It’s Canada on March 15 as
children celebrate multiculturalism.
Explore the lives of early and
modern day settlers and compare the
traditions they bring with them.
Contact Elizabeth at the Huron
County Museum, 519-524-2686 for

Children should bring a snack and
indoor shoes.

hosting the World Day of Prayer on
March 2 at 7:30 p.m. This is a
service where all the churches in
Blyth join together along with many
churches throughout the world. This
year’s theme is about Women of
Paraguay. Special music will be
provided by Kirby Cook, and the

As many people already are aware
Don Craig is a patient in London
Hospital, University Campus. If
anyone has information to be
included in this column it can be left
on my answering machine. It is
being checked regularly. Or drop it
off to Fred at Tasty Treats To Go or
Stay, 428 Queen St., Blyth.
This week has made us fully aware
of how blessed we are to live in a
close-knit small community. We
have had a week of crisis and our
world has been turned upside down,
but through all this there have been
constant calls of concern, offers of
help, and prayers.
Our family have been relieved of
responsibilities, without having to
ask for help, as well as found people
already doing chores when they were
going out to do them and head for
London. It is during these times of
crisis that you really come to
appreciate family, friends and
neighbours, as well as what a
wonderful and unique thing a small
community is.
This is especially so when you
meet people in the hospital in
London who do not have this kind of
support.
BLYTH UNITED CHURCH
Greeting at Blyth United Church
on Sunday, Feb. 25 were Fred Meier
and Judy Gleave. Guest pianist was
Amanda Swartzentruber. Ushering
were Elaine Brown and Nancy
Hakkers.
Bruce Whitmore welcomed
everyone to church and drew
everyone’s attention to the
announcements in the bulletin.
Special attention was made to theWorld Day of Prayer Service in thechurch on Friday, March 2.UCW has started making meatpies and individual and large fruitpies again this winter. Please callJoann MacDonald 519-523-9274with your orders.The call to worship was repeated
responsively followed by the first
hymn Come Let Us Sing of a
Wonderful Love, the Prayer of
Confession and the Assurance of
Pardon.
The choir anthem was It Is Well
With My Soul.
The children’s hymn was Jesus
Loves Me. The children came to thefront of the church during thesinging of the last verse. Bruceinvited the children to try to break asingle stick, representing one person,followed by two sticks symbolizingthe added strength of a marriedcouple, and added strength of moresticks when family is added.
After the children’s story all sang
The Lord’s Prayer using the actions
as Rev. Robin McGauley had been
teaching them. The children went
downstairs to Sunday school.
The Lectionary scriptures were
Genesis 2:18 and the New Testament
reading was Corinthians 13: 1-8.
Bruce’s message to the adults wasFor Better and Better. Bruce talkedabout all the things that people do orown that come with an instructionmanual, and how marriage does not.He went on to say that while thesentence “I do,” is the shortestsentence in the English language,many have called it the longest
sentence of your life. He related how
love was very hard to define and that
even in the Bible, Corinthians
defines it mostly in terms of what it
is not, rather than what it is.
Birthday Cake, coffee or juice
were enjoyed by all to celebrate the
birthdays in February.
