Any woman “willing to contribute her prayers, gifts, and services for the work of the Church” may join the United Church Women (UCW). Along with providing important networking and social bonding opportunities, the UCW has led discussions on, for example, feminism and restorative justice.
Activities of the St James UCW include: organizing the Old Stump Frolic and the Holly Tea & Sale, packing gift bags for shut-ins at Christmas, arranging hospitality at funeral receptions, and supporting causes such as the Benevolent Fund through fundraising efforts.
New members are always welcome.
