On Sunday, Oct. 4, the greeters at
the Blyth United Church were Bev
and Cliff Snell. The ushers were
Vera and John Hesselwood and Jim
and Thelma Wilson. Rev. Ramirez
opened the service with the Call to'
Worship, Prayer of Invocation and
Prayer of Confession, followed by
the Silent Confession and
Assurance of Pardon. "When
Morning Gilds The Skies" was
sung. The responsive reading was
from selected verses of Psalm 118.
The scripture was taken from 2
Timothy 1.1-14 followed by Hymn
#258, "Spirit of God Descend".
For children's time Rev. Ramirez
spoke about fanning the flame of
God's love. He demonstrated by
using a fan. He told the children
that you use a fan to create a breeze
to cool yourself when you are hot.
But when you fan a hot coal the
breeze causes the coal to become
hotter and start the fire. This is
how we can spread God's Love.
By sharing it with others this is
fanning or sharing his love. The
children then returned to their seats.
The ladies' choir sang a beautiful
piece, "Above Every Name is the
Name of Jesus".
There will be no Sunday School
next Sunday. The children are to
come to church with their parents,
for Family Sunday. Confirmation
for people 13 and older starts in
January.
Rev. Ramirez's sermon was titled
"Strengthened by God's Spirit to
Live our Faith". How can we
strengthen our faith in God? By
exercising your faith, sharing with
others his love that He shared with
us, and fanning the love and faith.
When we do something good we
share it with others. Therefore, we
should share God's love. Do not be

From the Minister's Study:
Remember this country
on Thanksgiving Day
by Rev. Lorenzo Ramirez
Blyth United Church
Thanksgiving Day for us
Canadians will be this Monday
coming but a lot of farmers around
here and through the province think
there seems to be not much to be
thankful about because of the cold,
wet summer we had. Now they're
anxiously waiting for the weather
to co-operate and the land to dry
enough so the crops and grain can
be harvested.
This year will probably be
recorded in history as the worst
year weatherwise here and around
the world.
On the other hand, Thanksgiving
Day helps us to remember that we
are still one of the best countries in
the world when it comes to
producing food and fibre. Our soil
is rich, our country vast, our
machinery is technologically
advanced and our scientific
knowledge superior and applicable
to our food production.
We know of many countries in
Asia, Europe and the Middle East
that dream of and envy the vast
fresh water that we are so blessed
to have, yet, we take it for granted.
May we pause on Thanksgiving
Day to give God the praise and
glory for the bountiful grace we are
so blessed to have.
afraid to do so.
The Sacrament of Holy
Communion was served by Bill
Burkholder, Deb Craig, Bonnie
Shannon, Linda Wilson, Bea
Chambers, Vera Badley, Albert
Wasson and Lloyd Sippel. Hymn
#342 "Here O My Lord I See
Thee", was sung during and after
communion.
Remember in your prayers Mae
MacDonald, Jim Boak, and Melda
MacElroy who are in Clinton
Hospital.
