Small care packages
The UCW is eager to get into action and has found a new service project to support our community. It is a great project because it is easy, and everyone can participate. The hospital needs small care packages for people who come to the hospital without any supplies. We are collecting travel size products to be included in the bags. Items for men and women are required such as travel size shampoo, Chapstick/Lip Balm, travel size deodorant, hairbrush or comb, travel size body wash, regular size toothbrush, travel size toothpaste and bar soap (regular size). Please note that unscented products are preferred. A box will be placed in Wesley Hall for donations.

Reflections
Epworth United
Our church, located in Kingsville, Ontario, Canada, has a long history, with roots dating back to 1817 when a small log Methodist chapel was built in the Kingsville area. Property for the church at its current location was purchased in 1891 and construction completed in 1893. In honour of John Wesley, the founder of Methodism, the new church was called Epworth Methodist Church, after his birthplace of Epworth Rectory in England. After the union of the Methodists, Presbyterians and Congregationalists in 1925, the name became Epworth United Church. A devastating fire in 1935 destroyed a large portion of the old church. The current structure is the result of a rebuilding effort that began the same year and completed in 1936.
