IB NORTH LEEDS LANTERN NOVEMBER 1991 "CARING & SHARING IN THESE TIMES' -RALLY THEMEâ€" At annual UCW Fall Rallies, one must be impressed by the wealth of talent that exists. And the Elgin Section is blessed with an extremely pleasant and gifted group of United Church women. Once more this was evident as a large group of 73 gathered together on September 25 and were registered by Jean Peters and Claire Mills of Portland. Reading a poem ”Give Us Daily Awareness", Section President Betty Bond set ground work for the theme Caring & sharing In These Times. The Minister of Westport United Church, Rev. Hazel Irvine, added a word of welcome mentioning that due to the usual large turnâ€"out and convenience for the noon meal the Legion Hall was chosen as the location in place of the church. Her message in keeping with the theme was "our job is not to serve ourselves but to go out and be servants of Jesus Christ”. Greetings were extended by coâ€"host presidents - Ruth MacLean of Westport and Marlene Greenslade of Burridge. A very relevant worship service was conducted by women of Toledo and Delta, Mariam Smith, Lorna Newsome, Esther Eaton and Wilma Baker, with ”Serve the Lord with Gladness" (hymn), 1 Kings 17:1â€"15, John 13:34/5 and a meditation entitled “Think About It" emphasized sharing awareness and love; prayer that apathy may be forgiven followed. In a lovely memorial service, Veda Bolton and Maureen Ready of Newboro UCW remembered members with poem, bible reading (James 4:14) and meditation. UCW women were compared to a wellâ€" tended garden of flowers, fertilized by faith, watered with hope, receiving light and warmth for learning and encouragement. Each member which has its own special place in the garden, whether timid or frail as the shy violet, or dependably covering the bare spots and holding the garden together as the ivy; no one alone contributes most but as a group all are valuable. Esther Eaton added the lovely solo ”In The Garden" accompanied by Wilma Baker. Carnations were placed in memory of those departed. Presbyterial Officers reported, with President Norma Guthrie bringing good wishes and sharing a story of church rebuilding in England after the bombing and the generosity of some who had little left to give. She relayed a message from Rev. Kwangâ€" ilâ€"Lee, the Korean Missionary who spoke at the Annual UCW Meeting in Portland, as he expressed his gratitude for the opportunity of sharing. Viceâ€"Presidnet, Jean Beers added her thoughts on the theme and reported on financial matters. Erma Bracken gave a review of books on display and many were purchased later that day. Guest speaker, Lynda Moore and a volunteer relief worker Susan Hogan from Bridge House in Kingston were introduced by Gladys Webb of Seeley's Bay. Lynda is a volunteer coâ€" ordinator, a board member and a director. She has a Correctional Services Diploma. A video gave a view of the building's interior and some interviews with some women who visited. It is an affordable "home-away-from- home" for wives, mothers, families of inmates while. they visit loved ones. It gives a sense of belonging, is safe and comfortable. Reservations must be made in advance; travel to/from prisons is provided at low cost; rules are strict; some child care is _provided. Phyllis Fuller of Portland thanked the girls for telling the story of Bridge House. Kathryn sarjeant Powell (Diaconal Minister of Toledo/Delta) led the lively singing sessions accompanied by Wilma Baker. Mrs. Heywood had also taken a turn at the piano earlier in the day. At noon a delicious hot meal was provided by Westport and Burridge women. Afternoon brought more music with Kathryn and Wilma teaching some new songs and a service of worship by Irma Chant, Ruby McGuire, Irene Goodsell and Vivian Morris of Delta. Using a book by Robt. Wallace â€" "Our Present Help" which dealt with compassion burnout and scriptures Deut. 10:12â€" 15 and 17â€"21, Matt. 25: 31â€"40, they followed with the hymn "Let There Be Light". We often ask if we are merciful enough and what we can do when we view scenes of starving children. Commitment can be hard work and sometimes burnout comes with disappointment. Offering was collected by Marion Warren & Hazel Gilfilin and dedicated by Mary Townsend of Wesport. New officers were installed. Secretary Treasurer Sylvia French read the 1990 minutes. Amy Bracken invited the group to meet at Olivet in 1992, followed by a very gracious and thorough appreciation to all who took part in this year's rally by Marjorie Earle of Elgin. "Teach Us How To Live" was the closing poem by Betty Bond.
