Stanley Homecoming
for this weekend
• By Mary Chessell
This weekend the Sesquicentennial
celebrations come to .a climax with
the big Homecoming events.
Sunday was a beautiful, warm day
for the Varna -Goshen annual lakeside
church service. The sermon topic was
about acceptance of ourselves as we
are. Rev. Sam Parker and his wife
Barbara demonstrated this for the
children ( we all enjoyed it) with pup-
pets, a bunny and a raccoon.
Barbara and her mother, Mrs.
Marilyn Phillips, sang and played ac-
cordion and flute. Marjorie Hayter
led the hymns and choruses with
ukulele accompaniment.
A picnic lunch followed, then games
and races for the children and a sing
song with Michael Stephenson keep-
ing time,With his spoons.
We were plea3sed to have a visit
. with Margaret Taylor, wife of the late
Rev. Alex Taylor, who attended with
Elizabeth Clarke.
Attendance was good. but one
would expect a big crowd for such a
beautiful service. Other events the
same day included the cricket mat-
ches at Bayfield.
An interdenominational church ser-
vice will be held at the work centre at
Stanley Township Complex next Sun-
day at 10:30 a.m. If you like to sing,
be there shortly after 10 for the sing
song. The following two Sundays are
vacation time for Varna and Goshen
charges.
History hooks on sale
The Stanley Township history books
have arrived and are on sale at the
Complex. Judging by the first few
chapters. which 1 saw some time
ago, it is a very interesting book.
Those who worked on it spent
countless hours in assembling
material and assuring its accuracy.

Elder also will be receiving pins but
were unable to be at our party.
