BLYTH UNITED CHURCH
Greeting at Blyth United Church
on Feb. 12 were Fred Meier and
Doug Howson. Ushering were Pat
and Hary Bernard, Karen Mason and
Earl Fyfe. Guest organist was
Margaret Kai.
Cheryl Cronin led a hymn-sing
before worship.
The choir anthem was We Shall
Go Out With Hope of Resurrection.
Rev. Robin McGauley asked
the children to come to the front
and to bfing the food for the
Wingham Food Bank along with
them for their storytime.
She explained to the children the
story of the stole she wore. Her
grandfather had given it to her when
she became a minister.
On it is an open Bible,Tree of Life
written Hebrew, and across which
symbolizes the Tree of Life.
The Bible also is a Tree of Life,
she said as the pages or leaves tell
the stories of God's promises.
The scriptures were Isaiah 40: 21-
39, Psalm 147 and Mark 1:
29-39. These were led by Myrtle
Badley.
Rev. McGauley's message to the
adults was Wait upon God.
Today's church isn't much
different than in Biblical times she
said.
• The Church today is living in a
western culture of commerce.
The church of today no longer
has an identity.
People come to church to wait
for God to refresh and renew them.
A moment of silent meditation
followed.
Everyone was invited downstairs
for the Sunday school's sweetheart
lunch.
Strike won't
affect local
municipalities
The Canadian Union of Public
Employees (CUPE) in Ontario is
threatening to strike if a
controversial bill is left unchanged
by the third reading.
Bill 206: The Ontario Municipal
Employees Retirement System Act,
may change the retirement and
pension plans of public employees.
Jack McLachlan, clerk-
administrator for Huron East said,
"there will be no municipal
interruption of service should
CUPE strike."
Representatives from Huron East,
North Huron, Morris-Turnberry,
Ashfield-Colbourne-Wawanosh and
Central Huron said that no
employees in these municipalities
were part of the union and a strike
would not affect these areas.
