THE CITIZEN, WEDNESDAY, JUNE 5, 2002. Chamneys welcome Knox worshippers FROM BELGRAVE WI meets The May meeting of the Belgrave WI began with the President Isabel Campbell reading a poem about mothers, then introducing Randy Nixon who reviewed the insurance on the WI Hall. He explained what was covered on the policy and mentioned that there is no liability at the present time nor theft coverage. The program convenor, Isabelle Craig, introduced Leanne Crawford, from Huron Landscaping at Lucknow. She showed many slides on gardens and landscaping. She explained what plants are good in sunny or shady areas and how to care for different plants. It is good to have flowers which bloom at different times to have continuous colour all year. Door prizes of plants were given in a draw. Audrey Fenton and Mary Hallahan served lunch. During the business meeting it was announced that the Presbyterian Church will look after the memorial service at Brandon Cemetery on July 7 at 2 p.m. Mary Hunter and Wilma Higgins will plant the flowerbeds at the Hall. It was decided to take out liability insurance. The cleaning bee at the Hall is June 3 and 4. Stuart and Lois Chamney welcomed worshippers to Knox United Church on Sunday, June 2. The roses at the front of the sanctuary were placed in the church by Jim and Irene Lamont and families in loving memory of Danny Lamont. The Mission and Service Fund is made up of coins large and small and everyone can help others by contributing whether rich or poor. The coins were collected and the children filed out for Sunday school. The 40th anniversary of United Church Women was celebrated. Muriel Coultes, president of the UCW conducted the service and was assisted by Louise Bosman and Donna Shaw who read the scriptures: The congregation joined in singing a UCW anniversary song, written for the occasion by a past- president of Huron-Perth Presbyterial, Margaret Hem, and sung to Old McDonald Had a Farm. Mrs. Coultes compared the struggles with change that took place in 1962 when the women's organizations of Women's Auxiliary and Women's Missionary Society became the United Church Women. Change is happening again as the National Church has formed an umbrella group, the WUCC, (Women of the United Church of Canada) over all women's groups in the church, of which the UCW is one of them. She did affirm that the UCW was as alive and well as it has always been, and will continue to be for years to come. Over the past 40 years, the United Church Women have contributed over $105 millioh to the Mission and Service Fund of the church, and they will continue to give their support to that fund. There are 75,000 United Church Women across Canada. The theme for the service was Something God alone can See and Mrs. Coultes spoke of women from the Bible, whose work was affirmed by Jesus. The Mary and Marthas of the UCW are carrying on the service of Martha as well as the learning and studying of Mary. The giving in the UCWs 'was represented by the story from the Bible of the widow, who gave her two coins. Jesus told the court around him, that the widow had given more than all the rich, as she had given all she had. The significance of the story was not the value of the gift, but the motives of the giver. The amount of the giving is, Something God alone can See. The story of Dorcas revealed how she chose to involve herself with the widows and orphans around her, as she sewed garments for them and Alexandra Victoria Miculan, granddaughter of the Rev. John and Kay Roberts recently returned from Kiev, in the Ukraine, where she had danced in the ballet Snow-White. Twelve-year-old Alexandra was accompanied by her mother Alison Miculan, who said the performances went very well. Both mother and daughter found the trip to be a most educational and enjoyable distributed them. The giving and the thanksgiving were mutual, as they shared their laughter and life experiences with each other. • The work of the present United Church Women incorporates all area of worship, service and social action as they serve the communities they live in, sometimes doing Something God alone can See. Mrs. Coultes closed with a parable of Two Seas — the Sea of Galilee and the Dead Sea. The same River Jordan flows into each sea, but there is no comparison in the areas around the seas. The same applies to the people of this world. There are the Dead Sea people — who take without giving back, and the givers who remain fresh and vibrant by freely sharing of themselves. The UCW strives to be Sea of Galilee people wherever they are. Joyce Vincent and Ken Procter took up the offering. The senior choir sang The Lone, Wild Bird accompanied by Elizabeth Procter at the piano. experience.
