“Trunk or Treat” on October 31 at the manse parking lot. Trunk or Treat is the idea that a group of cars (and their drivers of course) with decorated trunks and cars gather on the manse parking lot, and kids go from car to car for treats, and other Halloween fun rather than going to individual homes. This is a great idea for people who purchase Halloween treats and have very few “trick or treaters”. Anyone wanting to participate, please contact Rev. Steph to reserve a spot. You do not have to belong to the United Church to participate!!!

donation to the church to honour the legacy of women you know who have served God and the work of the church through the UCW, please contact a UCW member, Ron Morgan or place your donation in a clearly marked envelope with your regular Sunday offering.

UCW Legacy Continues
A couple of weeks ago, The women of the UCW (United Church Women) voted to disband and step out of the structure and
governance of the UCW on a congregational, District and National level. However, we have not stepped away from Women’s Ministry. We have broadened the reach to women in the church and community in fresh new ways. We did not fold the group’s mission, we unfolded a legacy.
The UCW has enlivened, encouraged and supported women for
generations who have lived up to this purpose:
To unite women of the congregation for the total mission of the church, and to provide a medium through which we may express our loyalty and devotion to Jesus Christ in Christian witness, study,
fellowship and service.
It has leaned hard into service and fundraising over the years, but has had a great deal of fun and fellowship along the way making lifelong friendship and faith tangible.
We are going to celebrate the UCW’s women, their ministry and their legacy on November 1, All Saints Day at the 11:00 am. morning
service. Couldn’t think of a more appropriate Sunday.
If you have memorabilia, photos or stories about a specific, beloved member, or a Mug Up they did that made you roll with laughter or the lunch these women served to your family after a funeral (the list goes on) please bring it with you and join us for a small lunch after church. It will be a wonderful time of fellowship to honour the women who have served God and God’s people their whole lives long. It is time for everyone to rejoice in the memories and dream for the future.
Everyone is welcome. It is not limited to the women. It is a
celebration of the women throughout the generations and in the here and now! It is open to all!
If you wouldn’t mind, please let me know if you think you are coming, (Rev. Steph 709-541-2756). It would help me know how many egg salad sandwiches to prepare! Not a church lunch without them!
