The South Marysburgh Mirror U.C.W. U.C.W. met at South Bay United Church hall on Wednesday, February 13 at 1:30 p.m. Maureen Rudd presided in the absence of President Sandra Emlaw, opening with a reading about icicles. Our theme hymn, purpose and Lord ’s Prayer followed. Maureen’s devotional was based on Mathew 5, verses 1 to 13, showing the value of salt. It is valu- able for preserving foods, adds zest to food, and stands for purity, healing, mouth wash. It was used for sacred rituals and was valued more than gold. Because we are made in God’s image, we are con- sidered more precious than gold. Salt, like good deeds are, is meant to be shared. Devotional closed with prayer. Twelve members wore red and gave sugges- tions to keep our hearts healthy. Some suggestions were exercise, limit salt, eat dark chocolate, pet an animal, cut down on fats and fried foods. Thirty-five sick calls were made. Secretary Carolyn read the January minutes which were approved. A thank you was received for our donation to the Terry Fox Run.
