Rev. Sam Parker led everyone in worship. The children sang songs they had just learned at Vacation Bible School. The congregation could sing also and do the actions. At the end of the service everyone enjoyed a delicious pot blessing pic- nic as usual. The Varna -Goshen Vietnamese family was able to join everyone also. Heip's son Hai was recently married and Joyce Dowson pinned a corsage on his new bride. Joyce also read an address to Ilai's family and Geraldine Eckel presented the'newlyweds with a beautiful lamp on behalf of the Varna -Goshen Churches. Hai was unable to be there as he has just started a new job. Heip (Ilai's mother) thanked everyone on behalf of Llai and his bride. Ileip's mother and her other son were there also. These people are now living in Toronto. Following the presentation, games were held for the children and despite the heat they all took part. While the children were at their games there was an adult game. A lady came out dressed up,claiming she was going to the beach and on her way she had to stop and get the men to guess how big their Waists were with a string. Everett Van Slighenhorst won for the younger men guessing his waist' measurement right on. Elmer Hayter won for the older men. But the joke was on the ladies because they had to write down on paper everything our beach lady had on and was carrying. She had everything from a dress to a red carnation on her hat. Anna Key's daughter, Marilyn Laing, remembered the most things. Good thinking and remembering, Marilyn. By the way, our beach -lady was Pat. Armstrong. .There was also a prize for the tallest man who was Bill Chessell. The youngest one there was Jordan Parker, who will soon be three months old. Anna Keys had the most family there. st The ladies looking after the games did a terrific job and sure do deserve a lot of credit for coming up with some different games for everyone. Another special visitor at the picnic was Reverend Wilena Brown. It cer- tainly was a nice surprise and a pleasure to have her back with us to join in our Lakeside Service._ Miss Brown is visiting with friends at Deer Park Lodge in Bayfield for the week. All enjoyed themselves and it was just a beautiful day for the occasion.
