Unit I
On Apr: 5, Unit I of the Lucknow
United Church Women met at
Maple Breezes . with 13 members
and six visitors present.
Noma Campbell and Helen Todd
were. in, charge of the worship
service on Easter. Norma opened
with a poem, "Easter is God's
Promise". The scripture reading by
Helen and a couple of hymns were
followed by the meditation and a
prayer by Noma. A sing song of
Easter hymns was accompanied by
Jean Conley on her auto harp. A
reading, "Easter and Springtime" by
Helen and a prayer by Noma ended
the worship.
Ella Hackett took the chair for the.
announcements of meetings soon to
be held. Ella also brought us up to
date on the renovations of the
manse. The units are being asked to
each look after a window and Unit
I agreed.
The next meeting is to be a joint

members that the Marian McFarlane.
Hymn is being framed and will be
hung in the, ,parlor before our
Tbankoffering service on ,Apr. 18,
Fk r,py Birthday was sung for Ella'
Hackett and Beryl Hunter. Ella
closed with a prayer, "Easter Bles-
sings".
Unit 2
Anna May Hunter was hostess
when members of the Lucknow
United Church Women met on Apr.
6 at her home. Allene Bradley, the
unit leader, opened with a .poem
"Song of Spring". Then Elsie Hous-
ton and Gertie Henderson were in
charge of the program.
Elsie read a poem "If you stand
still", emphasizing if we stand still
and use our eyes, ears and nose, it
will surprise you what wonderful
things you will see, hear or smell.
Gertie read the scripture from the
second chapter of Acts, the Easter
story. Elsie took the meditation
explaining Easter and celebrating
spring comes together. Examples
are white lilies, birds returning,.
rabbits, spring bonnets, buds and
perhaps the best sounds of all are
the children with bats and balls,
marbles and kites, all signs of new
life after a long winter. Also the
farmers anxiously planting seeds.
Beneath the cross of Jesus .was
sung; followed by another reading
by Gertie. "With each new leaf
awake," and several instances when
nature signals the weather to come.
Grace Gibson, in a reading "Spring
cleaning" pointed out we must not
forget to clean our hearts and hatred
from our minds and let the sunshine
in. The ladies watched a video titled
"A man called Norman". Norman
was a lonely, unkempt man that
lived in a dilapidated old house.
The people of the small village
shunned him and made fun of him,
until a neighbor went to help Nor-
man start his lawn mower. This was
the start of a faith journey. The
neighbor seemed to be guided by
God to help and be a good neigh-
bour to Norman, and prove that he
was a very fine man, only a victim
of bad circumstances.
The hymn "Ride on Ride on in
Majesty" closed the program and
Allene chaired the business. Then
ladies answered the rollcall with an
Easter verse. The minutes of the
last meeting were readand ap-
proved. The offerings were received
and dedicated.
Carolyn Menary reported for the
supply committee and also arranged
for food and help for upcoming
functions in our church. Allen
gave a report of the manse commit-
tee concerning improvements neces-
sary at the manse, and reported on
the work bee at the church.
The meeting closed with the
UCW benediction and a social time
followed.
