"Give Someone Some Gladness Today." By Joan Beierling VARNA - The Varna -Goshen Annual Lakeside Service was held August 16 with a large majority of the congregation attending. Rev. Sam Parker led everyone in worship. The children sang songs they had just learn- ed at Vacation Bible School with the con- gregation singing along and doing the ac- tions. At the end of the service everyone en- joyed a pot blessing picnic. The Varna -Goshen Vietnamese family were able to join as well. Heip's son Hai was recently married and Joyce Dowson pinned a corsage on his new bride. Joyce also read an address to Hai's family and Geraldine Eckel presented the newlyweds with a lamp on behalf of the Varna -Goshen churches. Hai was unable to be there as he has just started a new job. Heip (Hai's mother) thanked everyone on behalf of Hai and his bride. Heip's mother and her other son were also there. These people are living in Toron- to now. Following the presentation, the 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 Vanslighenhourst won for the younger men guessing his waist right on, and Elmer Hayter won for the older men. But the joke was on the ladies because they had to write everything down on paper, what the beach lady had on and was carry- ing. She had everything from a dress to a red carnation on her hat. Anna Keys' daughter, Marilyn Laing, remembered the most things. By the way, the Beach Lady was Pat Armstrong. There were also prizes 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. The ladies looking after the games did a terrific job and sure do deserve a lot of credit for coming up with some diferent games. Another special visitor . at the Lakeside Service was Rev. Wilena Brown. It was a nice surprise and a pleasure to have her back to join in the lakeside service. Rev Brown is visiting with friends at Deer Park Lodge in Bayfield for the week.
