Blyth United Sunday School classes get awards
It was Pentecost 2 and the
seasonal colour green at the service
at Blyth United Church Sunday,
June 9. Rev. Stephen Huntley,
minister conducted the service and
Barbara Bosman was organist. It
was also Sunday School Awards
Sunday.
Rev. Huntley opened the service
with greetings then Call to
Worship. He led the congregation
in singing The Celebration Song,
accompanying on guitar. This was
followed by the opening hymn, All
People that on Earth do Dwell.
Following the children's hymn,
K. Procter
leads
Mennonite
worship
Kathy Procter was worship
leader for the Sunday, June 9
service at Brussels Mennonite
Fellowship. Anne Hemingway was
pianist and Mervin Lichty was song
leader. Darlene Hemingway played
for the offertory.
Norman Barlow brought the
message entitled "Achieving Your
Goals in Life".
"The Bible is our instruction
book for the Life," he said. He
spoke about three principles for
pursuing goals. The first one is:
"Be sure to know the exact nature
of whatever you invest your time,
money and energy into." Another
principle is: "Find someone who
has already accomplished what you
want to, and ask for advice."
It is necessary to get counsel and
advice but be sure the person who
is giving this advise is a person of
personal integrity, who will tell you
the truth, Barlow said. "The most
important principle is to make
Christ the center of your life. If you
have worldly success but you don't
have Christ in your life you have
nothing. Don't sacrifice the
presence of Jesus Christ, because
nothing else is worth it."
Tim Harden will bring the
message next Sunday.
Auburn Missionary Church was
filled again as Roy Dreaning from
Ireland sang two solos I Wonder
Why and He Will Dry Up Your
Tears.
The male quartette consisting of
Bruce Russel, Graham Russel,
Clare Smith and Clarke Teal, sang
/t is Well with My Soul which was
very touching indeed.
Rev. John Bennett of Faith
Mission brought an inspiring and
thought-provoking message, with
scripture from Gen. 6: 3; I Sam. 15:
24,35 and Matt. 25: 12. The Bible
relates several times when God
tells of a final time. Noah preached
righteousness but many failed to
listen. The Bible tells of a time
when God's Spirit will not always
strive with man.
When God sends judgement, He
always makes provision before so
people can be saved, Rev. Bennett
said. God closed the door of the
ark. God's final call had been given
and they didn't listen.
In I Samuel God had been
Jesus, Friend of Little Children
awards were given out. Ann Elliott,
Donna Moore and Janice Peters
presented them to the various
Sunday School classes. Included in
the awards was special mention to
retiring teachers of 14 to 16 years
of service, Evelyn Caldwell, Erica
Clark, Kathy Fraser and Kim
Ferguson.
The Old Testament lesson from
Genesis and the Old Testament
from Romans were read by Harvey
Snell. Rev. Huntley delivered the
Gospel reading from Matthew,
chapter 9, verses 9 - 13 and 18 - 26
speaking to Saul many times, but
Saul took things into his own hands
and through his disobedience
ignored God. "Is there something in
your life that should be destroyed?"
Rev. Bennett asked. Some day it
will destroy you. Don't wait for
God to do a miracle before you
receive Him. Death silences God's
voice.
The Brussels and Seaforth
Christian Home Educators met at
Brussels Mennonite Fellowship on
Friday, May' 24 to hear prepared
speeches from the children. Les
Cook was present to evaluate each
of the speeches and give some
pointers for improvements on their
next speeches.
Everyone enjoyed the presenta-
tions and were pleased with
student's accomplishments. Partici-
pating were: Michelle and Destiny
from which he based his sermon.
Rev. Huntley said, Douglas Hyde
was an editor before he found Jesus
and became a great apostle to
Christianity. Piri Thomas was a
drug pusher and thief before he
found Jesus in a prison cell. John
Newton was a slave trader before
he found Jesus, became a minister
and went on to write great hymns
such as Amazing Grace. Paul of
Tarus persecuted Christians before
he became one of the greatest
apostles of Christianity the world
has ever known.
The excellent attendance at each
service this past week has enjoyed
the message and music by Rev.
John Bennett and Roy Dreaning.
Lorna Dreaning spoke to the
children in junior church. May God
bless the Faith Mission workers as
they labour for Him in this part of
His vineyard.
Lichty, Becky and Allison Rapson,
Jeremy, Amanda and Johnathon
Schwartzentruber, Timothy and
Holly Kenyon, Fauve, Tyler and
Shandi den Dekker, Jared, Sarah
and Linda Billson.
In conclusion Rev. Huntley said
that the Gospel lesson he delivered
tells yet another example of such a
person, Matthew, a tax collector.
"When Jesus called Matthew, to
be one of his closest associates, it
was truly remarkable. It was yet
another example of Jesus' ability to
see beyond what people can
become if they try."
Following the service, a potluck
luncheon was held.
The beautiful flowers decorating
the sanctuary were in memory of
Ruby Philp whose funeral was last
Thursday.
