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.
