Eldad United Church Women (UCW) History
One of minstries of the church is the United Church Women (UCW).
Established in 1962 with the encouragement of Rev. Fred Reid’s wife Anne. Rev. Reid was the minister at the time.
In 2012, the UCW at Eldad celebrated 50 years of community, church and world mission contributions. This active group of women recently recognized 8 of the original 17 charter members who still come out to monthly meetings, take part in worship and programming, and play the significant role of serving others. Many of these ladies have direct family ties to the pioneer families who settled the Solina area. The ladies honoured included Doreen Westlake, Marion Broome, Doris Hills, Mary Millson, Lois Yellowlees, Jessie Tink, Loraine Knox, and Joyce Taylor.
