Very entertaining Spring Gathering The annual UCW Spring Gathering was held at the Lucknow United Church on Saturday, April 25, 2015 with Suzanne Irwin as Master of Ceremonies. The entertainment began and ended with singer/ songwriter Annie Adams of Krr�zi�rdilaKar Limos Chad Mann 519-357-3015 www.kruzinmannlimos.com A Division of Lloyd Collins Construction Ltd. TIMM=iMMM Cambridge performing sev- eral of her own songs which are very personal and inspirational. Many door prize draws were interspersed through the program. Joanne Goodwin is cur- rently a full-time motiva- tional speaker and a retired pastor of the Strathroy Pen- ticostal Church. Goodwin in an entertaining speaker who punctuates her heart - touching stories with humour. In describing her- self she says, "everyone has a gift and mine is being pathetic." Goodwin's story is one of living with mental illness which was not diag- nosed until later in life, her faith journey and her fur- ther challenges with her daughter. Her main mes- sage is that we should not ask that the hardest chal- lenges in our life be taken away as, when you have faith, God takes the gar- bage, turns it into compost and makes beautiful things grow from it. Following a lunch and social break, the entertain- ment continued with Valerie Gillies singing two songs that she has written. Emma Fenders played guitar and sang. Her sec- ond song touched everyone as she dedicated it to her grandmother who had always encouraged her to sing in church. Fenders had not done that while her grandmother was alive, so she announced that this one song was to make up for that. Darcy Robinson showed her prowess at step dancing during her two numbers, evoking a comment from the MC Irwin that she wished she could do that, adding that it is never too late to learn. The short but comical skit "Religious Bras" was performed by members of the Lucknow UCW. This was a very fitting way to round out a very much enjoyed program for the many ladies in attendance.
