By Rhoda Rohde
THAMES ROAD - Thirty-three
ladies attended the May meeting of
the United Church Women on
Monday evening. Janis Richardson
welcomed everyone and opened the
meeting with a poem "My Altar".
We sang "Faith of our Mothers".
Edna Anderson read Scriptures
from Exodus 2:1-10 and Proverbs.
A reading "Mothering Is a Full
Time Job" by Judith Parker.
The offering was received by
Edna Anderson and Janis Richard-
son with Offertory prayer by Ferne
Stewart. A reading "A Letter Writ-
ten By A Daughter to Her Mother"
was read by Janis Richardson.
Judith Parker introduced Bernice
• Santor of Siloam United Church,
London. Bernice had six wallhang-
ings which she had designed, with
different symbols and the stories be-
hind them. The first one was Rhea'
The Potter, second Hildegarde of
Bingen, third Agnes, fourth Matilda
Jocyln Gage, fifth Mary Eleanor El-
liottr sixth Margaret Sanger and she
had designed a vest which was very
picturesque depicting Esther. She
was thanked and presented with a
gift.
A kitchen band entered the base-
ment and played some lively tunes.
They were all in costume so no one
knew who they were. (I think they
were from Elimville.) The:music
was much enjoyed.
Janis Richardson read "Dear
God". We sang "Turn Our Hearts"
and Ferne Stewart closed the wor-
ship service with prayer.
President June Stewart opened the
business part of the meeting with a
poem "On Life's Busy Thorough-
fare". The roll call was answered by -
"What Ancestry We Were". The
prices were set for the Strawberry
Supper.
The visiting committee for the
next four months are Group U Dor-
othy Duncan; Group C Laurel Min-
er; and Group W Janis Richardson.
The housecleaning of the church
will take place between now and the
Anniversary in June. Group U
kitchen, Group C upstairs and
Group W basement.
June closed the meeting with the
U.C.W. Prayer and Group U served
sandwiches, relishes, tea and coffee
which brought an enjoyable eve-
ning to a close.
