Linda reminisced about the good memories she has of Sunday School and Young Peoples and of her peers and leaders and through those times she "grew in love and fellowship". The fact that her parents were involv- ed in Young Peoples made those times even more special. Belonging to a Couples Club has been another means of sustaining fellowship with others in the church for Linda. She told how that fellowship followed her and her hus- band through new parenthood, bereavement, career change, univer- sity years and her husband's ordina- tion, when 15 of those couples were present, to continuing friendships at present. Lastly, Linda shared her memories of UCW. She described the caring and nurturing extended to her by the ladies of her husbands first pastoral charge. With worship, work, study and service the UCW shares a univer- sality with all women who share Christian love. The UCW allows us to grow stronger through the love of Jesus and to meet new friends who also desire to learn more about the "fellowship of Christ. She concluded that Christians have sought each other through countless ages to share the fellowship of the Lord Jesus Christ and that.the various activities of the church provide us with opportunities for this fellowship.
