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.
