McMahon Howick and Carry On Women's Institute branches hosted the Associated Country Women of the World (ACWW) church service at the Palmerston United Church on Sunday, April 24. Rev. Pam Tolmay based the children's story on the making of stone soup. She dressed as a poor older lady travelling from village to village (in Biblical times) with her stone which she used to make her stone soup. Her idea was to convince the people in the villages to share what they had with her to make a large pot of soup, with the lesson being it's what you bring to the pot" but sharing no one need go hungry. Guest speakers were Linda Woods and Laurel Kenney co-chairs of "Bread Not Stones" who are passionate about advocating and spreading awareness of child poverty in Canada. They have rag doll workshops with church groups and the dolls are sewn or cut out paper ones which they then use to present to politicians and others who can change policy and re -direct funding concerning poverty. These dolls are powerful symbols which speak volumes that represent 1.33 million children in poverty in our country. Each doll has a name and a tag attached stating what children and their families need most: affordable housing, food security, childcare, a living wage and a national strategy. The Fordwich United Church women had a rag doll workshop and made nine "Fordwich Dollies". District President Barb Elg spoke on ACWW and what good works they do throughout the world. ACWW is an association of women - led societies and groups working together for the improvement of the quality of life for women and communities worldwide. With 420 member societies in 73 countries, ACWW gives voice to over nine million rural and non -rural women. Their concerns are the relief of poverty, sickness and the protection and preservation of health and advancement of education. A light lunch including Rev. Tolmay's stone soup was then served.
