VARNA CORRESPONDENT
VARNA -There was lots of musical tal-
ent and entertainment at the Varna
General Store on Saturday morning to
celebrate "Buy Your Church A Coffee
Day".
Mary Moffat, Ralph Stephenson and
Anna Keys all took their turns at playing
the keyboard, Ken DeVries played the gui-
tar, harmonica, spoons and also the Celtic
Bodhran drum. Blaine Stephenson played
the violin and Bill Linfield played the
banjo. Ralph Stephenson also played the
spoons.
Shauna and Stephanie Faulds showed
their musical talent by clogging to differ-
ent numbers. Stephanie also played the
saxophone.
Many people from the Varna community
enjoyed their coffee and socializing and
some joined in on the singing. Thanks to
those who provided the home-made cook-
ies to have with the coffee. They were
good!!
Donations are still welcome for the cof-
fee fund.
Graham Laurie lit the Christ candle on
Sunday in Varna Church. Pastor Elly Van
Bergen's children's' story was on
"Looking for Jesus" and her message was
entitled "Off to a Solitary Place". Willie
Laurie led in the responsive Psalm and
the gift of music by the Choir was "Jesus
Loves Even Me". Pastor Elly read a letter
given to her from Bill Taylor thanking the
community for supporting the
Huntington's Society by purchasing
Amaryllis bulbs.
