St. David’s UCW resumed monthly meetings on September 12th when we met at the home of Yvonne Fox. In October, we met at Patsy Swain’s and were pleased to have Rev. LeGrow and Christine drop in for a visit and a cup of tea. We will continue to meet on the second Wednesday of each month at 1:30 p.m. instead of at noon. All women of the congregation are invited to attend.
In September, we received a rebate check from Sobey’s for $266.00 which was a tremendous boost to our finances. Thank you to Margaret Ashford for all her work tabulating the cash register slips and to the congregation for supporting this project.
Our group looked after the food for two receptions in October following a funeral and a committal service. We catered the evening meal for the Inverness Guysborough Presbytery meeting on November 13th. Our pie sale originally scheduled for December 6th has been postponed for now. We will do our annual Christmas Dinner Boxes for needy families in our area. We also plan to collect used winter clothing to send to the Brunswick Street Mission in Halifax.
St. David’s UCW members extend a warm welcome to Rev. Sheldon and Christine LeGrow and hope they will have a happy time in our midst.
Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!
