young children talking about how
important love is in their lives. She
said that Easter was an act of love.
She said that the way of showing
love is hugging and she then
proceeded to hug the children. Only
one complained and that was
because the hug was too tight for
his liking.
Then she made their day by
giving each child a homemade
chocolate chip cookie and after a
prayer sent the kids back into the
fold in search of someone to hug.

informed people about the ACWW.
Rev. Banks's sermon was titled
"How we know love."
He said that although he grew up
near the home of Adelaide Hunter
Hoodless, founder of the Women’s
Institute, he admitted that he knew
very little about the organization.
From 1897 Adelaide devoted her
life to the cause of improving the
educational resources to assist
women in the roles as mothers and
as household manager.
Women's issues have changed
quite a bit over 100 years, he said.
The more traditional role of father
being the sold breadwinner and
mother being cook, cleaner and
nurturer of children has shifted
somewhat.
The Bible reflects the ideals of a
patriarchal society. Men are
dominant and were served. Women
were the servers and subservient.
Rev. Banks said, when he hears
the hymn, Faith of our Fathers he
asks himself "What about faith of
our mothers?" His experience of
the church is it wouldn't exist if not
for the dedication and hard work of
women who cater, serve, wash
dishes, bake and quilt.
When he sees a handful of the
thousands of UCW members and a
small group of the millions who
make up the ACWW at work, both
locally and globally, he sees people
fulfilling the mandate to love in
need and in action as well as in
words. Thank God, he said, for
men and women who give of
themselves to promote friendship,
peace, and love of God in the
community and throughout all of
God's world.
