United Church Women
meet on the 3rd Wedenesday
of each month except in July and August.
The meetings consist of worship, planning
and discussion and lunch. We donate
funds to the Mission and Service and
many other worthwhile projects. We are
still active although our numbers are
small.
History
of the Roseneath U.C.W.
The
year 1962 marked a new beginning
in women's work in the United Church
of Canada when two of our preceding
organizations disbanded, W.M.S. and
W.A., and a new one called "United
Church Women" was formed. The first
regular meeting of Roseneath U.C.W.
was held on January 31, 1962.
For several years
the U.C.W. had three branches within
this charge: Roseneath, Fenella, Centenary.
For the two years 1969-70 Roseneath
itself had two units. In 1971 the two
units in Roseneath were combined and
in 1976 the ladies of Centenary also
joined with the Roseneath branch. Our
first study book prepared for use in
the U.C.W. was called Signals for
the Sixties.
We are always activite
within our Church and we continue to
provide services for local and surrounding
villages. We welcome all into our community.
