L/CW challenged
As 300 women from the Huron-
Perth Presbyterial gathered in
Kirkton Community Centre on
Wednesday, April 29, they cele
brated the first 25 years of work,
worship and fellowship. Past
Presidents were honoured and
presented with corsages. The hall
was decorated with colourful ban
ners and a specially designed
anniversary quilt containing
names of all the churches in
London Conference.
A women’s quartette from the
Seaforth area, “Horizon”, was
much enjoyed. They not only
harmonized musically, but wore
outfits in the U.C.W. colours of
green and navy blue. Local women
provided refreshments during an
intermission, and Mrs. Lloy Grose
of Mitchell and Mrs. Marilyn
Kreuter of Rostock led sing-songs.
Avery moving worship service,
presented by women from Park
view United Church, Stratford,
entitled, “The Women Who Knew
Jesus,” brought the evening to a
close.
We must find ways to meet the
needs and aspirations of younger
church women if the U.C.W.
organization is to celebrate a 50th
anniversary, Mrs. Bev Robinson,
student minister of Exeter United
Church told 300 women of the
Huron-Perth Presbytery April 29
at Kirkton.
She provoked laughter with her
reminders of “ We ’ ve never done it
that way before,” “If they don’t
likeus, they don’thave to join us,”
and “We’ve always done it this
way, and I know that won’t work. ’ ’
Her challenge echoed the Anniver
sary theme of “Called to Respond
in Such a Time as This,” and was
discussed by buzz groups. Sugges
tions and comments were later
exchanged.
