LADIES AID
St. Paul’s Ladies Aid meets the first Monday of each month at 7:00 and welcomes all ladies to attend. This group tries to support the other groups of the church and the many events that take place throughout the year. We enjoy what we do and there are smiles, stories to share, and time for laughter. It is a time for fellowship.
All the ladies of the church support what we do whether they attend our regular meetings or not. We cater to important times in our congregations’ lives as requested… birthdays, anniversaries, and funerals.
All ladies are invited to attend and friends are always welcomed. Each meeting centres around a short devotional time with readings, music and prayer. There is often a speaker invited or a special activity planned. We are always looking for new ideas to try. Each meeting ends with lunch and time to visit.
We support local mission and various groups and organizations…the Food Bank, Snowsuit Fund, Winchester Legion, CanHave, Operation Christmas Child, etc.
In April we have a Breakfast. The community comes out to support us in this fundraiser. We have supported groups such as CanHave in their efforts to help Aids victims in Africa, and the Winchester Heelers in their fight against breast cancer. This year the proceeds from our breakfast will go towards fighting prostate cancer.
We end our year with a Christmas pot luck dinner and Worship Service. Once again our community friends and neighbours join us for a special start to our Christmas Season and the offering from this service goes to a group in our community.
We welcome all ladies to come and join us and enjoy our time together.

WOMEN’S MISSIONARY SOCIETY
In 2009 St. Paul’s Women’s Missionary Society celebrated 120 years of faithful service supporting mission projects of the Women’s Missionary Society of the Presbyterian Church in Canada. Our purpose is to encourage one another and all people of the church to be involved in local and world mission through study, prayer, service and fellowship. We join with Brockville Presbyterial W.M.S. groups and the Synodical W.M.S. of Quebec and Eastern Ontario to support special mission projects and hear those involved in mission to be informed.
St. Paul’s W.M.S. meet on the second Thursday at 1:30 pm for 9 months. Members lead the mission Awareness Sunday Service each April encouraging youths in our congregation to take part. The congregation supports the W.M.S. projects through Thankoffering envelopes twice a year. Five of our members are Life members and two are Honorary Life members. We have men who attend meetings and are welcome. This year we begin the Presbyterian Church Study for 2010 to 2012, “Staying Rooted in an Unrooted World.” We utilize the Glad Tidings magazine at most meetings, recommending it to others.
THE CHOIR
St. Paul’s Presbyterian Church choir is a dedicated, music-loving group of volunteers who attend practice and Sunday service faithfully each week. Through Christian joy and love the choir share their music with an appreciative and supportive congregation. New friends that would like to sing with us would be most welcome.
