People & Programs – United Church Women

Women have been forming UCW groups since the organization was formally inaugurated on January 1,1962 through the amalgamation of the Women's Missionary Society {WMS} of the Methodist Church and the Woman's Association {WA}of the new union.
Mission Statement

Our mission is to love God, to foster Christian faithfulness, spirituality, commitment and devotion and to promote love and respect by living generously and giving joyfully to all God's people and to affirm and strengthen ourselves creatively.

The George Street UCW has recently combined two groups into one, meeting about eight times during the year. In addition to their welcome and visible hospitality for all kinds of teas, muffin parties, and receptions, the UCW visits our shut-in members, sends cards to the sick and bereaved, make head scarves for the Cancer Society, and raise funds for important missions.
