Rideau Park United Church - U.C.W.

THE FUNCTION OF UNITED CHURCH WOMEN IN THE CONGREGATION

  1. To provide opportunity for fellowship and mutual support.
  2. To encourage growth in Christian understanding and faith through sharing in worship, Bible study, and involvement with church-oriented activities.
  3. To encourage informed participation in the mission of the Church, the congregation, the community, the nation and the world.
  4. To cultivate Christian stewardship in all of life.
  5. To share financially in supporting the National Church through the Mission & Service Fund; helping meet the needs of the congregation by supporting the church budget; sharing Presbyterial and Conference expenses for United Church Women; and supporting community undertakings.
  6. To develop Christian leadership for the Church community.
  7. To encourage ecumenical understanding.

The annual church bazaar brings together, in a great adventure of stewardship, all Units of the UCW, along with many other men, women, and youth of our congregation. It is an opportunity to offer our talents and time in a special way, to enjoy fellowship and to create a sense of community.

The resources garnered go to the total mission of the Church. Individual Units contribute during the year through projects such as Nearly New sales, book sales, bake table sales, catering dinners and teas, organizing Bridge Marathons, penny auctions and other projects.
