Tr'nity UCW Thankoffering Provincial Court All the units of Trinity U.C.W. were well represented at the Thank-offering tea held on Tuesday, October 18 in the church hall. Guests were present from St. Paul's United and St. Andrew's Presbyter- ian to enjoy an afternoon of fellowship. With the Queen opening parliament that day in Ottawa, Mrs. Blair felt it especially appropriate to open our meeting by singing "God Save the Queen", followed by a reading by Mrs. Blair on the Stewards of Life. Programme was in charge of Unit 6. A poem "Thanks be to God" was read by Mrs. E. White. The hymn, "Praise to the Lord, the Almighty" was sung accompanied by Mrs. J. Munday. Mrs. R. Coombes read the scripture, followed by a short meditation on thank- fulness by Mrs. E. White. She closed by reading, the poem God has no hands but our hands to do His work here on earth and a prayer. Mrs. Allanah Coles favoured us with three very appropriate solos which were much en- joyed. Her first number was "Thank You" and she had the audience participate. Second selection was "Love is some- thing if you give it away, you'll end up having more" and she closed with "How Big God." The Thank-offering was re- ceived by Mrs. C. Trewin and Mrs. O. Plummer and dedi- cated by Rev. Peters. This part of the programme was closed with a hymn. Mrs. R. Coombes introduced the speaker of the afternoon, Rev. John Peters, who, chose as his topic "World Missions on our Doorstep". He told us that all ministers are now required to do work other than in their own Church so he was chosen to be Associate-Con- venor for Christian Develop- ment Division of Missions in Canada. Using slides, Rev. Peters gave us a detailed break-down of the government of the United Church from the top executive council to the local congregation which he believes to be the most important part of the set-up. The five divisions of missions in Canada are World Out- reach, Communications, Finance, Ministry, Personnel and Education, and Admini- tration. His work deals mainly with Camping, Leadership development and Pastoral E - October 18, 1977 Judge R.B. Baxter presided with assistant Crown Attorney A. Sosna and duty counsel D. Barber.

New units for lay organizations deal with Worship and Evangelism, Ecumenical Relations and work with the handicapped. The purpose of the Division of Missions in Canada, the speaker said, is to support the Church's mission of encourag- ing and enabling persons in the community and con- gregation to discover, accept and express the gospel of Jesus Christ and to do this through strategies and resources for worship, educa- tion, evangelism and social action. Rev. Peters closed his talk by introducing, by pictures, the personnel of the Division of Missions in Canada. Mrs. M. Slute expressed the appreciation of all present to Rev. Peters for his enlighten- ing talk and presented both Mrs. Coles and Rev. Peters with a small token of our appreciation. Mrs. A.W. Harding in her usual pleasing manner paid tribute to the past presidents, secretaries and treasurers who had given good leadership during the first fifteen years since U.C.W. was first organ- ized. These officers were seated at prettily decorated tables at the front of the hall. Mrs. A. Coverly had made beautiful corsages for all the past presidents. Unfortun- ately, all the past officers were not able to attend. Mrs. A. Blair, the president, thanked Mrs. Harding and Mrs. Coverly for their part in the programme. Thanks was also tendered Mrs. H. Jeffery for designing the cover of our programme. The business included the adoption of the minutes as read, the roll call and the treasurers report. Mrs. Blair spoke of the Senior Care Centre on King St. E. which has just opened and urged all senior citizens to take advantage of the services offered. A report from Mrs. Tait showed $41,000 in tapes had been collected to date. 'Blest be the tie that Binds' closed this part of the pro- gramme. Unit 6 served tea, sandwiches and relishes bringing to a close another successful thank-offering meeting.

The president, Belle Smith, welcomed the visitors and expressed a desire to make it a social event and not just a buying process, so the bazaar was opened with a sing song led by Ruth Jennings with Lillian Fallis accompanying on the piano.
