What does the UCW do?

Chatham-Kent NeighbourLink

Thamesville United Church is a founding member of Chatham-Kent NeighbourLink which is legally known as Christian Faith in Action Assisted services of Chatham-Kent. Simply stated our goal is to bring church families together to assist those in need. NeighbourLink does not duplicate existing services if there is help already available. We will link families or persons to the existing services. Where there are gaps in community services NeighbourLink seeks to provide practical help.

NeighbourLink Values:

NeighbourLink Mission: Connect people in need with people who can help.

We give Christ-followers a practical opportunity to demonstrate God’s love by responding to the needs of our neighbour. 

NeighbourLink Vision: The community energized by the church in action!

The biggest needs are furniture and deliveries, food and food issues and rides to DR appointments, groceries, bank etc. 

We are committed to relieving the suffering of the poor. We value people because they are loved by God.

Kenesserie Camp

An overnight summer camp for children ages 5-15. Kenesserie Camp is a registered children's charity dedicated to building better kids through camp. This is a 'United Church Camp" and we provide regular funding to this great charity.

Thamesville United Church Drama

TUChD was originally started to help offset the cost of rebuilding and paying off the mortgage of the Thamesville United Church Sanctuary.

The first play was One Foot in Heaven presented the spring of 1999 with 2 dinner theaters, 1 Matinee and 3 shows. In the fall of 2000 Bless me Father was presented and the mail order list was started. The plays continued one or two a year with a cast of 7 to 19 actors. With each play more interest was created and the performance grew. In the fall of 2007 8 dinner theaters and a matinee were completely sold out by the mail order list. In the spring of 2008 a constitution was drawn up for the TUChD as the original reason for starting had been completed.

TUChD is a self-governing component of Thamesville United Church operating specifically under the oversight of the Thamesville United Church Board.

Purpose: TUChD is to bless participants, audience and recipients by presenting plays with or without meals so as to raise funds to be used to continue to upgrade the facilities of Thamesville United Church, to support the various ministries of Thamesville United Church and to donate to worthy causes as determined by the TUChD membership.

As the plays continue to grow in numbers local churches and organizations were invited to cook and serve meals. Over the years we have helped Fairfield Museum, Kenesserie Camp, Mozambique Aid, MRI, NeighbourLink, Thamesville Sertoma, Women’s Crisis Center, Thamesville Schools Snack/ Breakfast Programs, United Way Backpack Program, VON Kids Circle, C-K Hospice. This list is only a few of people and organizations that have benefited from our plays.

These plays are a huge commitment and hours of work but many hands make it easier. The fun, fellowship and outreach makes them all worth it.
