Nancy Folkard was in charge of the meeting, and thanked the hostess. Mabel Wheeler used scripture as part of the worship, so groups found passages where women were mentioned. The theme was Woman's Place and the meditation compared the role of women during Biblical times, and through the generations. Laura Johnston read a story of women as well. The roll call was answered by each one picking a letter out of the alphabet, then using that letter to represent someone or something out of the Bible. This was followed with a video, A Faith Lift - Mirror, Mirror on the Wall, with Liz Curtis Higgs as commentator. She also went through the alphabet to the conference -she was speaking to, by using each letter to tell of ho* God feels about each woman. This was a humorous look at people, how they see themselves, and that what is inside is the most important. The general meeting of the UCW will lie held in the church basement on Thursday, May 18.
