The year 1984 was a good year!"> Town Crier garbed Evelyn Redpath clanged the big brass hand-bell ail the way down the aisie of Kingsview United Church to dramnatize the good news of the state of Stewardship for the Oshawa Presbyterial United Church Women's Annual Meeting on March 19, 1985. President Pat Beach, Greenwood, presided over the day-long 23rd Annual Meeting, drawing together over 200 United Church Women from Newtonville to Pickering and north to Port Perry. Warnly welcomed by Leona Wanamaker, Presi- dent of Kingsview U.C.W., the gathering- was also brought greetings by Gwen Wentland, President of Bay of Quinte Conference U.C.W.', Marjorie Ferries, Chairman, Oshawa Presbytery United Church and by Rev. Jack Irwin, Kingsview United Church. Guest speaker was Mrs. Lois (VanCamp) McLeod, Orono, who spoke on "Inter- national Youth Year - relating this to our church and youth'". Joyful sessions of singing during- the day were accomi- panied by Betty Turcott;* Trinity, Bowmanville, During the business session Secretary Georgie Daîrymnple, St. Paul's, Bowmanville, presented the minutes for ac- cep t an)ce as written. Treasurer Anne Tane, St. Marks, Whitby, reported among disbursemnents $2,775.00 to the Bursary Fund in support of theology students, $2,138.00 to World Development and Relief Fund. Judith Ross from Canec Publishing House, Toronto, gave a peppy Book Flash and assisted Ruth Killin, St. Paul's Ajax, in the extraor- dinarily well stocked book room. Evelyn's Redpath's typical- ly enthusiastic Stewardship report was emnphasîzed as she strode to the podium in Town Crier habit proclaiming that "1978 was the last year we reached our Mission and Ser- vice Objective - in 1984 we reached it!" The United Church of Canada raised over 251/2 million dollars for M & S, the U.C.W. raised 3 million dollars, for .a total of just over 29 million dollars. "The United Chur ch is pre- sent where there is need, through Mission and Service - flot only in time of dramatic crisis such as Ethiopia'", said Evelyn. Venture in Mission, (VIM), the ambitious special financial drive begun in 1983 is a success, exceeding the ob- jective. M & S was substan- tially strengthened through the project "Celebration of Our Methodist Roots", which commemorated 200 years of Methodist worship in Canada; the exciting special events proved to be fun, educational and worthwhîle. Presbyterian roots of the United Church will be celebrated in 1986. Exchange with Korea Shelley Wright, Harmnony St. Church, will travel to Korea this Spring with Pat Prew, Saskatchewan as part of the Exchange program which ceFbrates 100 years of Protestant worship in Korea. Ten delegates from across Canada will visit churches in Korea. The meeting's offer- ing and registration fees were voted to this Asian connec- tion. Orono woman guest speake-cr 'TaTitiii, uevep- ment and Peace, the three themes for International .Youth Year, are important to youth-, said guest speaker Lois (VanCamp) McLeod, Orono, Ont. in hier address on "International Youth Year - relating this to our church and youth". Shirley Coyle, Newcastle, introduced the speaker, who was ap- pointed Youth Work Developer for the Bay of Quinte Conference one year in advance of the Interna- tional focus on youth. Lois, herself an enthusiastic young person in her mid 20's, holds a degree in Food, Nutrition, Consumer and Family Studies fromn Ryersoni In- stitute of Techology and bias had experience with youth in camp counselling and pro- gram leadership. Lois Mecod hias worked, played and listened closely with youth in the past year at youth rallies, etc. to help assess the needs of' youth. Lois hias learned that "the 10 to 14 year age group faces a struggle with tough issues in their ives". In the church service they would like more activity. The 15-19 year age group young people feel secure with tradition - but -like to be treated as in- dividuals. They do not want to be pressured into church membership. These youth need patience and support in their difficult decison-making because in the 20-29 year age group suicide is the second highest killer, after death in auto accidents,- sometimes as a resuit of facing a squeeze when society expects them to know where they are going -and they do not know. Volunteers frcnm the.au- dience acted out situation skits under Lois' direction, a technique which gave life to the rhetoric and seemned to evoke feelings of empathy towards the perplexities of youth,, Sqarw of the moment drama portrayed such facts of life as parental pressure, peer pressure, acceptance or non-acceptance of youth con - tributions, satisfied youth, rebellious youth. along with awareness, some suggestions became self-evident as possi- ble aids to understanding the youth viewpoint and achiev- ing the youth potential in church life: acceptance of youth into meaningful par- ticipation in church govern- ment and youth with adult activity; recognition of children and sharing of wor- ship, including communion; intergenerational worship - w.hat is in the sermon to which youth can relate? recognition and inclusion of community youth workers in church groups.
