UCW Prepare for Xmas by Alice Ross The Epsom-Utica U.C.W. Christmas meeting was held on December 5 in the basement of Epsom Church. We were joined with friends, former members and members of our group, with a delicious, hearty luncheon which everyone seemed to enjoy. A gift was given out to the person who had a lucky number on their plate. Our president, Eileen Slute, had a contest called Preparing for Xmas. Winners were Melba McKay and Stella Asling. We were entertained by Gordon Prentice and his group, by all joining in singing Hymns and Christmas Faboly. Betty Tapscott gave a very humorous recitation called "The Parson's Black Sheep." There was a short meeting of worship. Verses Matthew 1-12 were read by Faye Ashton and Hymn "Joy to the World" was sung. There were two readings, one was a "Gilt Ridden Xmas. Shop- per'" and the next was 'Putting Forth The Meaning of Keeping Love in What We Give and do at Xmas Time." There was a poem "Keeping Christmas" followed by singing of Hymn *'O Come All Ye Faithful." Worship ended in prayer. Eileen thanked Gordon and his group and wished everyone a Happy, Healthy Holiday.
