All ladies of the Congregation are members of the UCW and are welcome at meetings held the first Monday of each month at the boardroom of Middleton United Church.  Two former units - South and Onward - recently united to form one larger unit and meet as the structured part of UCW. Our President for 2008 is Avis Fox.

Activities include: Mission boxes, which in the past went to Brunswick St. United Church in Halifax in the spring and fall; this year the spring box is going to the Colchester Sheltered Workshop; Christmas gifts for the residents of Braeside Home for Special Care; and teddy bears for the RCMP to give to children in distress. The UCW is also an active supporter of the local Food Bank. A Reception Committee organizes lunches for special church services and also receptions for funeral services for an honorarium of  $75 per event.

A community Friendship Convenor sends get well cards, sympathy cards and “Over-80” birthday cards on behalf of Middleton United Church. Used postage stamps are collected and sent to the Canadian Bible Society (stamps are welcome from everyone and should be cut from the envelope with the postage stamp included).  The General UCW also organizes the Rock-a-Thon to raise money for the general fund of Middleton United Church.

Our members also work fancy work through out the year to sell at sale tables at the Annual Church Yard Sale and a table at the Festival of Trees. If anyone wants worked pillow cases at other times, they are available by calling Bernice Fraser at 384-3051.
