ELGIN UCW Loree Smith opened the May meeting with prayer after which Irene's group led the worship service. Marion Seeley presented a meditation which took the form of a reading, "It's Spring and I Am Blind ". This helped to sharpen our awareness of beauty in all its aspects. The study, presented by Elsa's group introduced the thought that all women are called by God and are expected to use the gifts they have been given. The replies of six active laywomen to two questions were read. The questions were: Do you feel that women have a ministry and that it is the same as men and why? What reflections do you have on the past, present and future ministry of the Church? As might be expected, different ideas were expressed in each woman's answer. However it was generally felt that even in this generation men still hold most of the power in the church, and that most churches still seem to prefer a male minister. Those questioned felt that it is now time for women who have the interest, to pursue other roles within the church besides working in the kitchen and doing C.E. work. It was thought that women's special ability to comfort and nurture could be useful in all areas of church management. The suggestion was made that both men and women need to work together at all levels of church life, and that the church would be the better for it. A discussion was held after the readings to give the UCW an opportunity to express their opinions. During the business meeting it was announced that and John Zwier would be showing slides and talking about their volunteer work in India. The ladies were reminded that donations for the food bank are still needed. At the close of the meeting refreshments were served.
