An Invitation to Join Us at Berwick Camp for UCW Afternoon Wednesday, August 2, 2023
Wednesday August 2 p.m. , the Maritime United Church Women will hold a very special afternoon at Berwick Camp. The afternoon will be hosted by your Co-Presidents and along with the enlisted help of other UCW members who are available, we will bring you news of the Maritime UCW, share in a worship/devotion program and a time which will include the Dedication of a Bench in memory of Ruth Rudderham. Refreshments and social time will follow at the Cookie Cottage. Plan now to attend for this fun and meaningful afternoon “under the hemlocks”. All UCW and Berwick campers are invited to join us.
Berwick Camp Livestream
Did you know that the worship services at Berwick Camp will be live streamed on our YouTube & Facebook channel? They will! That means you can join us live from anywhere in the world or even watch the recordings at your own convenience. This year, we will have excellent worship leaders to help guide us through a spiritual Christian journey of engaging our elemental wisdom guides though Water, Earth, Fire & Air. We also think that our live worship services are ideal resources for any other United Churches across the country who may be looking for an alternative to their own weekly worship service, particularly those who have ministerial staff on holidays.
