The present name was adopted in January, . 1930, along with the motto "Every member a worker"- The: aim and object of the Woman's Association is to deep- en the spiritual life of the women of the church -- our services of worship in our regu- lar and our group meetings present a challenge to each woman present to develop a "program of Christian fel'ow- ship and service, personal evan- gelism and stewardship; many opportunities are provided for members to carry out this aim as well as to inspire the women of the Church to an increasing knowledge of interest and loyalty to the church; visiting done by the members plays a great part in promoting this aim and ob- ject. Our membership has increas- ed over. the years and we have divided into groups with each group having an objective of money to raise as well as cer- tain responsibilities for the work of the whole organization. The Woman's Association has two large projects each year when all members may partici- pate. This year we held a very interesting tea and display of Hobbies called '"'A Buttons and Bows Tea". We are now plan- ning our Christmas bazaar which will take place on Friday, No- vember 3.
