Busy at work
Erica Clark, Susan Howson and Bill Howson were busy in the kitchen getting ready for the
huge crowd which turned out for the annual Blyth United Church Turkey Supper on Friday at
the Blyth Community Centre.
Greeters at the Blyth United
Church on Sunday Oct. 25, were
Herb and Bonnie Shannon. The
congregation were ushered to their
seat by Bill Young, Les Rutledge,
Faye and Erin Bolger. Flowers
were placed in the sanctuary by
Phyllis Boak and family and John,
Elva, Elaine and Sharon Brown, in
memory of Jim Boak and Louie
Shortreed. Expressions of sym
pathy were sent out to both
families.
Rev. Ramirez opened the service
with the Call to Worship, Prayer of
Approach, Prayer of Confession,
Silent Confession and the
Assurance of Pardon, followed by
the hymn "Glory Be to God the
Father". The Responsive Reading
was taken from Psalm 100 "Give
Thanks to the Lord". The anthem,
sung by the ladies' choir, was "The
On Sunday, Oct. 25, Rev. Dave
Tigchelaar from Drayton Christian
Reformed Church, led the Blyth
CRC congregation in Holy Wor
ship. Sacrament of Communion
was celebrated in the morning
service, with a Vesper Service in
the afternoon. The opening hymn
was No. 368, "Rejoice The Lord Is
King", with Angela Verburg
serving as organist.
In the announcements the Uyls
and Hessels will be remembered in
the passing of family member Art
Kikkert. Mrs. DeVries and Tony
DeBoer will be uplifted in prayers
as well. Praise and thanks are
given to the Lord for answered
prayer in regards to the needs of
Daniel Bouman. Rev. Tigchelaar
also mentioned the upcoming
political referendum as a concern
for prayer.
Scripture for the morning
message was from Matthew 18:1-
14. The sermon title was
"Littleness, Lostness, Leastness".
Rev. Tigchelaar started by saying
humans are caught in a whirlwind
of winning. We dislike losing and
even tend to idolize big time
winners such as the "Blue Jays", or
the "Great Gretzky".
Rev. Tigchelaar stated that as the
Greatest Name of All".
Guest minister, Cecil Wittich
read the scripture, Ephesians 1:3-10
omitting Luke 17:11-19. The
hymn "Can A Little Child Like
Me" was sung while the children
came forward for the Children's
Time. Rev. Wittich spoke to the
children about "What is an
Anniversary?" He explained the
celebration of the church in Blyth.
The bible is the most important
book of our time. "What is the
most important lesson we can learn
from the Bible?” he asked the
children. The answer was
discovered shortly, Jesus loves Me.
The children went to class with
Candice Howson.
The choral anthem "Teach me
Thy Way O Lord" was sung by the
choir with solo by Cheryl Cronin.
Rev. Ramirez made a special
world boasts of who has succeeded,
Jesus focuses on the weak and
helpless. Will we flash our report
cards of success to enter the gates
of Heaven? Or will we be like Paul
in Philippians 3, who says his
greatest ambition is to be faithful to
Jesus?
The second service of worship
now takes place at 2:30 p.m.,
congruent with the time change.
Rev. Tigchelaar chose to speak on
the "Parable of The Lost Son",
from Luke 15 11-24. Several
interesting points were learned on
this topic.

welcome to Rev. Wittich and his

membership were recognized by
the congregation for Betty Hoegy
and Phyllis Boak.
A Minute for Mission was read

Rev. Ramirez then introduced
Rev. Wittich, who, before his
sermon, acknowledged his wife
Sharon and brought news of their
family. Jeffrey, their son, is now
married and Garth is still in
university. As for Rev. Wittich
himself, he is looking forward to
his retirement within the next year.
He mentioned watching the ball
game and the Blue Jay's win of the
World Series and a round of
applause was received.
After a short prayer Rev. Wittich
spoke on being thankful people.
He asked that everyone keep in
mind 1 Thessalonians 5:18, “give
thanks in all circumstances of life.”
During his message he reminded
everyone of the Golden Rule - love
one another as you would have
them love you. We should be
thankful that we have so much by
being Canadians.
The final hymn was sung "The
Church's One Foundation."
Remember in prayer this week Mae
MacDonald and Betty Nethery who
are in the hospital.
Rev. Wittich conducted an
evening service also, after which a
lunch was served.
