UCW holds quilting hee
A joint meeting of the Aubum
UCW for February and March was
an all-day quilting on March 3.
Two quilts were tied while a
second one and a crib quilt were
quilted.
Members each brought a brown
bag lunch for first course. Elva
Armstrong and Jean Plaetzer
supplied delicious cakes and ice
cream for dessert.
After lunch Elva conducted a
short business meeting. Ruth
Armstrong has accepted her
nomination as treasurer. She will
lake the place of Nancy Park, who
has been the capable treasurer for
several years. Grace Cartwright
gave her card and flower report
with a number of gifts and cards
being given. Maxine Seers ordered
mats some time ago, which are still
not available. Maxine will look into
this and order something else if
arrival before Easter is not possible.
She has received word of a $25 fee
for the booth at the Threshermen's
Reunion. She will pay this and bill
the UCW.
Ruth Armstrong has wool
available for those who need it.
Camp Menesetung is celebrating
its 50th anniversary on June 1.
Contact Lillian Hallam or Brian
Wright concerning this. A list of
things needed for the camp -
cookies, ice cream pails, etc., is on
the church bulletin board.
The UCW Westminster Weekend
is May 30 June 1. The topic is
"Believe in Yourself'.
As a group the new "Country
Cooking" cook book can be
purchased for $9. There was no
definite decision made regarding
this matter. A cane seat on a
platform chair needs repair. It was
agreed that this be taken care of.
Discussion arose regarding the
annual "Country Supper". A
Sunday night meal was suggested,
but the final decision is in the
hands of committee in charge. It
was suggested that a smorgasbord
type meal might be acceptable.
Nancy Parks will be in charge of
the May meeting. It will be a
special UCW celebration.

parents when they were fearful of
anything. He closed with repetitive
prayer.
As they went to their Sunday
School classrooms Jesus Loves the
Lillie Children was sung. The
hymn Dear God, Who Loves All
Humankind was then sung with
both organ and flue accompani
ment.
Scripture was then read by the
minister from Numbers 21,
regarding the serpents who were
biting and killing the Israelites.
Moses, at God's command, made a
brass serpent and put it on a pole.
Anyone bitten looked at it and was
healed.
The second scripture was
Ephesians 2, where God by His
mercy saves sinners through faith;
and from John 3. "For who believes
in God will have everlasting life for
He gave his Son for us."
Prayer was then given followed
by the singing of Amazing Grace.
The sermon was on "Serpents,
Shadows and the Saviour": Rev.
Ross spoke of hearing a hypnotist,
who said the way to defeat fears is
to look beyond. He was able to
walk on broken glass, then had
another do it too. They received no
injury.
Rev. Ross said that in life
everyone has serpents and
shadows. "We must all have Faith
in God. He is always with us and so
out of darkness, light always
comes. Be not afraid, He is with
you."
The sermon ended with a prayer
of thanks and of concern, followed
by The Lord's Prayer in unison.
The collection was received, the
doxology sung and offertory prayer
given. The hymn For the Healing
of the Nations was followed by the
Benediction. Amens closed the
service.
