United Church Women (UCW)

The UCW (United Church Women) at Eden is an active group of women who meet for Christian fellowship, fun and service. The UCW is involved in serving the church, raising funds for the church and selected charities, and coordinating many of Eden's social events. We hold many events each year. The first Sunday of February is UCW Sunday. This service is planned and led by UCE members. Often one or more members are honoured with a lifetime membership. The second Saturday in November is our annual Christmas bazaar. We work year-round to prepare for this event.

Our church community continues to grow and we are always striving to find ways to serve the needs of our members and the church. Because we have a large membership with a wide variety of interests, we have three units, each with their own personality, that meet monthly at the church. As a group, we meet three times a year for fellowship and business. You are invited to come out to any of these meetings. We would be happy to see you! Contact the church office at 905-824-5578 for more information if you are interested.

The Units usually meet at the church, monthly September to June. Check your church bulletin for meeting details and times.

Primrose Unit
Meet the 2nd Tuesday of the month at 2 pm.

Nightingales Unit
Meet the 2nd Wednesday of the month at 7:30.

Forget-Me-Nots Unit
Meet the 3rd Tuesday of the month at 7:00 pm in the choir room.

Prayer Shawl

For those who knit or would like to learn, we will make shawls for a number of occasions. These shawls will be knit with love and prayers, and then dedicated before presenting it to the individual. The shawl represents this faith community wrapping itself around the individual with our love and prayers.

We meet the 2nd Wednesday of the month at 1:00pm.

If you are interested, please email the church office at office@edenunitedchurch.com or call 905-824-5578.

Our families learned and celebrated the gift of light through the many festivals of the Winter season, from Diwali to Kwanzaa, Winter Solstice, Chanukah and Christmas.
