Annual General Meeting –
BC Conference United Church Women Women’s Ministry Network
Thursday April 17 at Golden Ears United Church 22165 Dewdney Trunk Rd. Maple Ridge
For 55 years the UCW has been the thread that has connected the women of the United Church from coast to coast and North to South. The UCW has joined the women of congregations across Canada for the total mission of the Church.
Now in 2017, we mark the 55th Anniversary by "Celebrating Spirit". It is good to remember the past, to listen to the present, and to look to the future.

Next year Heather's daughter will become an ordained Minister of the United Church of Canada.
