Bill Coultes read Scripture relevant to his comments on "Keep an Open Mind!" He reminded us th ;at there are many things we should be doing, but first we must know what others are thinking and understand others' points of view. We need a disciplined church, financing,Church expenses must be paid on a regular basis so our contribution should be given on a regular basis. Each knows how he can best serve God. Keep an open mind and allow yourself to be directed toward new opportunities in the service of God. Mrs. Kenneth Wheeler, president of the U.C.W. xpressed the following views: We are the members of the J.C.W. Our purpose is to unite he women of the church for the total mission of the church and to express loyalty and devotion to Jesus. Christ through witness, study, fellowship and service. In our meeting we try to pursue the different aspects of our purpose. One of the msot important elements of our meetings is fellowship. This may be shown in • mission study, quilting, or in the preparation of a wedding anniversary meal, or the '`Counry Fayre". We strengthen friendship and fellowship. The U.,C.W. gives an opportunity to strengthen our ties to the congregation, the Presb ,ytery and the Confernce. We are constantly reminded of our service to Christ. We can offer ourselves in witness and service. Mrs. Harold Vincent speaking for the Sunday School teachers', said "We seek to serve by endeavouring to guide our children in a basic knowledge to the Bible and its message. More importantly, we recognize that our own wi tness must be such that the impact of Jesus in our live s is conveyed to our chidlren and this "living a believing life" will carry over and remain with our children. Mr. and Mrs. Glenn Coultes representing "Parents" stated that we must t 'each our children respect; be loving and listening. Be mature and hope that our children • will become mature adults. Janice Coultes for the Young Members spoke of young people as "Building blocks". Each must be strong enough to maintain faith and influence. Keep the spirit of the church young and enthusiastic.
