Women & Men
Caroline Harcourt Women's Fellowship
The Caroline Harcourt Women's Fellowship (CHWF) evolved 15 years ago from an UCW unit. Meets monthly at noon in the Friendship Room, over sandwiches, and features speakers and programs which inspire, enrich and motivate all interested women.
Very informal, with financing only from free-will offerings and donations, its slim budgeting goes almost entirely to charities, locally and abroad. All meetings end in a devotional.
The group assists with receptions and Christmas cheer for shut-ins. Membership consists solely in attending a couple of meetings, and wishing to be phoned prior to later events. Currently monthly attendance is 30 to 35.

Women's Sprituality Group
Women's Spirituality is a supportive and nurturing group of about 12 women. The group meets in a spirit of friendship and mutual support to share in activities that enhance our spiritual lives. For example, in early 2007, they focussed on telling their own stories through a variety of rituals. In the fall, they began using the book, Midwives of an Unnamed Future: Spirituality for Women in Times of Unprecedented Change, by Mary Ruth Broz, Barbara Flynn and Jean Clough. The group meets the 1st and 3rd Monday evenings, breaking for the summer months.
