Varna congregation says goodbye to a valued pastor
By Joan Beierling
VARNA CORRESPONDENT
VARNA — It was a definite case of "come early for a back pew" on
Oct. 21 as former and present congregation members filled the
church to celebrate Goshen United Church Anniversary and Pastor
Elly Van Bergen's ministry there for the past nine years! Organists
Anna Keys and pianist Shirley Hill joined together for the opening
hymns. Willi Laurie sang a solo, the choir an anthem. Linda
Linfield and Terri Louch assisted Elly with the Scripture reading.
For the children's story time Pastor Elly told of her 30 km walk
on Saturday from Varna to Auburn, raising funds and awareness
for the plight of children in Northern Uganda. Though Elly's walk
was a solo, people all around the world joined together in orga-
nized Gulu walks that day for the same reasons. The Gulu Walk
began in 2005 at the initiative of two men in Toronto who had
heard of the children walking from 5 - 20 km each night to sleep in
safety in urban centres such as the town of Gulu in Uganda. At that
time many young children were being abducted by resistance
armies. Anyone wishing to make a donation toward the cause
please contact Elly at 233-3110.
Pastor Elly talked to the children about God's blessings, especial-
ly those so evident as she walked the scenic route to Auburn, along
with blessings of home family and safety.
The service ended with the mother and daughter quar-
tet of Mona Stephenson, Deb Rathwell, Joyce Dowson
and Brenda Consitt singing a "Special" rendition of the
The Church In The 14rldwood for pastor Elly.
Following the benediction the service clerks of the ses-
sion, Gerald Hayter after a farewell reading and Jim
Kirton on behalf of the congregation presented Elly with a
beautiful memory box. On behalf of the two U.C.W. 's
Linda Linfield and Debbie Rathwell presented Elly with a
church birdhouse, one half looking like the Goshen
Church and the other half like the Varna Church.
Tearful Elly, very graciously thanked everyone and invit-
ed everyone to her wedding on Fri., Oct. 26 at
rCapsule Comments
by Ernie Miatello
Its the season for flu shots soon. We encourage
everyone to get a flu shot. To get the best effects
from the immunization, get a good night's sleep
the night before the shot. That helps it to work
better.
If your immune system is busy fighting another type of infection like
a major cold or "strep" throat or an ear infection, you should
probably wait until the infection clears before getting your flu shot.
You don't want your immune system to be distracted while it's trying
to build flu antibodies in your blood.
If you are a person who cares for the elderly or works in a hospital
or even in the service industry with the general public, get a flu shot.
The concept of "herd immunity" i.e. building a protective barrier
around your contacts will go a long way to protect them.
Talking about viral infections, if you've had a case of shingles as
an adult, chances are pretty slim that you will have to suffer through
another episode of this very painful viral infection. Chances of
recurrence is from 1-5 per cent. That's good news!
Many people aren't aware they can ask the pharmacist for advice
on non-prescription medications. Some people feel the pharmacist
is too busy but I want you to know that we are nevertoo busy to
answer your questions about medications. Ifs part of our job
description and one that we enjoy.
