(Vicky Bremner photo) The February meeting of the Belgrave Women’s Institute began with a potluck lunch. President Audrey Fenton welcomed 39 members and guests. O Canada was sung and Rev. Ethel Miner Clare said grace. Dorothy Coultes read an article about the founding of the WI by Erland and Janet Lee and Adelaide Hunter Hoodless on Feb. 19, 1897 in Stoney Creek. At that time women’s work, especially on the farm, was very difficult and included growing food, milking cows, sewing family clothes, making soap and tending to the health concerns of the family. Since that time the WI has grown to include over 500 branches with 7,500 members in Ontario and branches worldwide. The guest speaker was Debbie Bauer, the president of Huron West District WI. She spoke on promoting the branch to overcome and attract new members. They need to think positively and with enthusiasm to promote growth in branches and be willing to accept changes. Dorothy thanked Debbie for the positive message and presented her with a bouquet of flowers. The business meeting opened with the Ode, Mary Stewart Collect and the roll call What My Mother Taught Me. It was agreed to donate $50 to the Go-Go Grannies to support women in South Africa belonging to the Stephen Lewis Foundation. There is a planning meeting for the District annual to be held on Monday, April 2 at 1:30 p.m. in the Belgrave WI hall. The next potluck and meeting will be held on March 20 with a musical program.

Ethel Miner Clare welcomed everyone to worship on the Song of Faith. The senior choir sang Here in the House of the Lord. The service consisted of the singing of many hymns and readings as printed in the service of worship. This statement of faith attempts to reflect the spirit of the United Church of Canada and to respond to various defining elements in social, political and historical context, including the place of the church in society, the cultural and intellectual setting in which Christians find ourselves, the meaning of truth, the impact of the market economy on daily life, and the growing issue of the meaning of security. This is not a statement for all time but for this time. As the spirit keeps faith, Christians express their understanding of the Holy with confidence. This understanding is always partial and limited, said Rev. Clare. We have faith and this statement collects the meaning of our song. Don Procter and Carl Procter took up the offering. The closing hymn was O’ For a World. Bible study will be held on Thursday, March 1 from 9:30 a.m. - 11 a.m. in the church. Also on March 1 the church will be open for prayer from 4 p.m. - 5 p.m. and every Thursday during Lent.
