Varna Tcelebrates 82 ye By Mary Chessell A happy celebration of Varna Church's 82nd an- niversary was held on Sun- day, with guest preacher George Cowan from Dungannon -Nile, a former teacher and Superintendent of Teachers, leading the wor- ship service. He told of his desire to become a minister when he was a child,: how he had to postpone it for lack of money for university. When he was at early retirement age, the call cajn ; again, and he became a lay preacher, with many rewarding ex- periences. His sermon topic was "Renewing our Faith". The choirs, under the leadership of organist Mar - lone Hayter and Joyce Dowson, sang a medley of songs. Brian Chessell on guitar also accompanied them and played in duet with Marjorie. Pete Postill's rich voice was heard in two solos. Lovely flowers from local gardens graced the sanc- tuary. It was rather disap- pointing that the church wasn't filled for this special service.
