T -A photo Observe UCW's 25th anniversary In recognition of the 25th anniver- sary of the U.C.W., Olive Thomson opened the September meeting of the Exeter UCW by reading a poem ex- tolling the virtues of the former "Ladies Aid". A moment of silence was observed in memory of the late Jean Pooley. A letter of thanks from Bev Robin- son was read for help given to the Vacation Bible School. Dates to remember: Executive meeting - September 23; General meeting - September 28; Regional meeting at Grand Bend - September 29, to meet at the church at 6 p.m. and October 15 birthday party at Zurich. Marion Porter, program convener, called on Alma Langford for her report of the National meeting held at Guelph University in Waterloo to celebrate the 25th anniversary of the UCW. Women came from the N.W. Ter- ritories, all the provinces and Ber- muda to make a total of 198. During singing periods the women learned that there are several ex- cellent modern hymn writers. Lois Wilson, former Moderator, spoke of Mary's song the Magnificat and wondered what our song is when conditions are difficult. Anne Squire, U.C. Moderator, sugested that in relation to women's rights Queen Vashti was the heroine rather that Esther in the biblical story. Three women of different faiths - Jewish, Buddhist and Hindu spoke of their separate faiths. The Jewish woman in particular was bubbling over with;ajoy in the faith. With the help of her committee which included Mmes. Delbridge, Finkbeiner, Hern, Coates and Webb, Marion Porter presented a worship service based on Philippians 4:8. Margaret Coates played a most in- teresting piano solo. A sumptuous potluck dinner preceded the meeting. The September meeting of the Ex- eter U.C.W. evening unit was held September 7. A delicious potluck sup- per was enjoyed by everyone. • Marion Frayne welcomed everyone back after the summer vacationand opened the meeting with the U.C.W. Purpose. Minutes of the June meeting were read by secretary, Linda Hawley and treasurer, Mavis Atthill gave the financial report. DONATION TO CYSTIC FIBROSIS — The Exeter Order of Easter Star made a donation Wednesday night to the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation.

In o recent draw a quilt was won by Freda Hayter, Dashwood and an afghan went to Brian Hodgins, Exeter. Barbara Sharpe reported that the new hymn books have arrived and are ready for use in the church. The Christian Development Com- mittee ommittee hosted a congregational breakfast on Sunday, September 13 at 9 a.m. The next U.C.W. General meeting will be on Monday, September 28, 1987. We will be entering an exhibit in the Exeter Fall Fair. Committee members are Gladys Richardson, Helen Wasnidge, Maxine Sereda and Marion Frayne. Plans were made to attend the U.C.W. Fall Regional at Grand Bend on September 29. Special guests will be Mr. and Mrs. Don Irwin from Kit- chener, telling about their missionary experiences. We will be hosting the October bir- thday party at the Bluewater Nursing Home in Zurich on October 15. The evening unit is in charge of the program. Audrey MacGregor reviewed the new study material called "For Land's Sake" and "Creation in Crisis". This material is in charge of the program. A skit relating how a new minister helps to bring four separate ladies groups together to form a single group called U.C.W. was presented by Alma Langford, Barb Wein, Mavis Atthill, Marj Tuckey and Linda Hawley. The single purpose of the U.C.W. provides for the many areas of fellowship, study, witness and ser- vice needed by each of the groups and as they plan to amalgamate, a second 25 year vision emerges. With the 25th anniversary of U.C.W. as the theme, Barbara Sharpe led the devotions opening with the hymn "Open My Eyes That I May See" from the new hymn book. She read a meditation on being open to the future needs of U.C.W. and helping the younger women of the church to be in- cluded in our future planning. Josie Ryckman played the piano as we sang "Give To Us Laughter", another song from our new hymn book. Gladys McDonald closed the worship with prayer. Barbara Sharpe thanked Alma Langford for sharing the skit she wrote with us and Linda Hawley for helping with the devotions. Well pay you when you get a Loan from us.
