If you want to have fun, laugh, have the support of other women in the happy and challenging times of your life, get involved in the UCW at Kingsway Lambton.

What is the UCW?

The UCW is an organization which provides Christian fellowship, friendship and mutual support for women in the United Church. Through the work of the UCW, the women in our Church are able to support each other and our community.

What does the UCW at Kingsway Lambton do?

"Friends, Support, Charity"

Within our Church
We have six active units of various ages and interests. Each unit organizes their own meetings and programs, i.e. social events, road trips, guest speakers on a variety of subjects, Bible study, crafts, etc. The UCW as a whole, or individual units also organize various fundraisers. The largest of these fundraisers are the annual Flea Market , the annual Art Show and the providing of funeral receptions.

Within the United Church
We support the activities of the United Church Mission and Service Fund and other United Church charities as well, and some of our members participate in Presbyterial events.

Within the Community
Our membership is very committed to supporting our community and large part of our funds raised go to local charities.

"A close-knit loving relationship with other women in the Church
with an opportunity for service and support for Kingsway-Lambton."

How can I get involved in the UCW at Kingsway Lambton?

There are different ways you can get involved with the UCW:

• Join a unit. We encourage you to join a unit. It is a wonderful way to meet and have the support and fellowship of other Christian women. Even if you do not have a lot of time, you can still join a unit – participate as much as you are able. Try us out. Go to different unit meetings and see what fits you best.

• Work with us on some of our major events. You don't have to be a member to help with our fundraisers. In fact many of the volunteers at the Flea Market are not members of the UCW. We have lots of men working at the Flea Market, and many of them are not members of the Church. In fact, some of the best times we have are working at these events. This is the time we laugh together and have the most fun.

• Attend our annual Spring dinner (early June) or our Christmas luncheon (late November, early December)

If you are interested in becoming involved or would like more information about the UCW, please contact Helen Paul (our Membership Coordinator) or Antje Cavanagh (our President) through the Church Office.
