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.
