dent and a member of the Lucknow UCW
for the past 18 years, says the UCW's main
thrust, in addition to the many worthy
causes it supports, is its Bible and Mission
studies.
The individual UCW units address many
social issues, such as last year's study of
pornography and its wide ranging effects.
Also, a mission study is included in the
UCW meetings which focusses on the dif-
ferent third world countries of the world in
an attempt to understand the problems of
these nations. Last year, the natives of
Canada were studied while this year, the
units will study the people Nicaragua,
The Lucknow UCW will celebrate 25 years of service to the church and community this
year with many events planned to amrk the occasion. Here, long-time UCW members

Through the course of the year, the ;JCW
puts its money to good use, supporting at
least eight worthy causes in the area.
These include the local chtpter of Amnes-
ty International, the Wingham and Area
Day Centre, Five Oaks Training Centre in
Paris, the Victor Home for Unwed
Mothers, the Ontario and National CGIT
programs, Meals on Wheels, the Mission
and Service Fund and the Survival
Through Friendship House in Goderich.
Last year, the UCW also donated two
truckloads of used articles to Goodwill In-
dustries, which creates jobs for the
disa bled.
The UCW is instrumental in visiting peo-
ple who are sick, shut-ins and newcomers
to the village. The UCW also contributes
funds toward children in the church atten-
ding Silver Lake United Church Camp
each summer.
Christian education, says Mrs. Cayley,
is also a big part of the UCW's activities,
attending to the needs of children in the
church through the UCW's support of the
nursery and the junior congregation.
As part of their fund-raising, Mrs.
Cayley says the UCW raise money by
catering to weddings and banquets, as well
as the annual Fall Supper which is the
groups "biggest fund-raiser" of the year.
"You have a lot of fun preparing the din-
ners, but it's also a lot of work," offered
Mrs. Cameron about the catering work of
the UCW.
Mrs. Cayley says she enjoys all facets of
the UCW because of its challenging nature.
"The work is challenging and the studies
are enriching.. I'd like to think that's why
we do it," she said.
Over' and above the good work done for
the church, the UCW is also looking to the
future by encouraging the younger women
SPECIAL
REPORT
of the church to become involved in church
groups. Mrs. Cayley said two years ago the
Young Women Can Achieve ( YWCA) was
formed to give these women a chance to
participate in the work of the church.
"The YWCA don't meet as often as the
UCW,-once every second month, but they
have many special events such as teas and
they're always willing to help at banquets.
"They wanted a part in the church ac-
tivities, but didn't want to get involved ' in
the UCW as yet," said Mrs.Cayley of the
35 -member YWCA.
Also, an imporant part of the UCW's
future is their investment of time and fun-
ding to the CGIT, says. Mrs. Cayley, who
has been active as a leader since 1969. "If
there's no CGIT, there's no association
with the church. through the teenage
years," said Mrs. Cayley.
Even though the Lucknow UCW in 1987 is
still prospering with four units and 90 paid
memberships, Mrs. Cameron, Mrs.
Houston and Mrs. Cayley all expressed
concern for the future of the UCW. With
many more women in the working world,
the time which can be dedicated to church
work is severely limited.
However, at the first general meeting of
the UCW in 1962, Mrs. Cameron recited a
passage which explains the real essence of
church work. She said the reading explains
why the UCW's church is as important now
as it was back in 1962.
"A Christian women should remember
that she is not yloing God a favor by serving
Him: God honors each Christian woman
by permitting her to serve Him."
