NEWS
Greeting at Blyth United Church
on Sunday, May 15 were Judy
Gleave and Enid MacDonald.
Ushers were Judy Gleave, Nicole
Kerr, Terry Richmond and Les
Caldwell. The guest organist was
Kay Roberts.
The children gathered at the front
of the church. Rev. Eugen
Bannerman had a bowl of fruit in his
hands and asked the children if they
Open Daily. Closed Sundays
knew what kind of fruit it was. It was
his favourite fruit, the fig.
He explained that figs grew on
trees and the fig is mentioned at the
first of the Bible and at the end of the
Bible.
Rev. Bannerman told the children
of three stories of figs in the Bible.
The fig is used for food, clothing (as
in Adam and Eve), and he told them
of a young Indian prince who left
home and became a wanderer. He sat
down in front of a fig tree for a
month. He had shade from the tree
and ate the figs for food.
The lectionary reading was from
Acts 7: 55-60 read by Bruce
Whitmore of North Street United
Church, Seaforth. The responsive
psalm was led by Ollie Craig.
Rev. Bannerman’s message to the
adults was. The United Church is 80
years old.
Jessica Dunbar gave the Minute
