LONDESBOROUGH UCW
As it was the first gathering of the
Londesborough UCW for 2015, the pro-
gram/time of devotion had `resolutions'
as its theme and was led by Bev. Riley,
Dorothy Carter, Erin Yantzi and Lynda
Horbanuik. All the ladies present that
evening drew a slip of paper from a
plate on which was written one word -
joy, contentment, enthusiasm, helpful,
etc. It was suggested that the ladies
make that one word their resolution for
the year.
A reading suggested that we should
promise ourselves to be strong, to
accept others as they are and to offer
support to those around us at work, at
home, in all situations. Bible verses,
Matt. 7: 1-2; Gal. 5:14-15 and Romans
15:2 instruct persons to accept others
for themselves and not judge. The
ladies prayed for strength in the year
ahead and it was suggested everyone
remember the pleasures in the year and
forget the pain.
Most of the business part of the meet-
ing had to do with reviewing various
aspects of UCW work - catering and
prices, purchasing a video screen for
the sanctuary, receiving by donation a
new microwave for the kitchen, consid-
ering the M & S allocation. A new out-
reach idea was presented and accepted.
Lena Nesbitt answered questions about
the financial report she presented for
the year 2014. Balance on hand as of
Dec. 3lstwas $3,720.51.
Advance notice was given for Camp
Day at Menesetung, June 8th; Westmin-
ster Weekend, May lst-3rd; Annual
Meeting at Brucefield, April 14th; and
Summer Event at Siloam United
Church, July 18th. On February 4th, fol-
lowing Coffee and Conversation in the
church basement, ladies are invited to
stop by and sew. Aprons to be worn at
caterings are planned for that day.
Many hands make light work so bring
along a lunch and join in the fun.
Londesborough United will hold
their annual meeting following the
morning service on Sunday, February
22nd. Bring along finger food to share
between the service and the meeting.
In order for Knox in Auburn to have
their annual meeting on February 15th,
