Receives gifts Times -Advocate, July 2, 1986 Page 11 Farewell to Varna minister By MARY CHESSEU Goshen Church was filled on Sun- day for Rev. Wilena Brown's farewell service. The Varna Singers sang "In the Sweet Bye and Bye" and "When the Roll is Called up Yonder". In the children's story, Johnny learns to like a new teacher, which Miss Brown compared with getting to know their new minister. In her ser- mon, she said older ministers learn that it may take years to see the results of their ministry. She likened some people's faith to the lamp set under a "bushel", while the faith of others develops like the small mustard seed that slowly grows intp a large plant. Following the worship service, Charles Reid and Howard Armstrong presented Miss Brown with a microwave oven from the members of the charge. Goshen United Church Women gave her a collector's plate, which was presented by president Helen Keys. Varna UCW's gift, presented by Mary Chessell, was a beautiful quilted bedspread.
