Ode to UCW Huron Perth Mission Outreach

The ladies have gathered to tell us a story

Of working together to make mission work.

We follow our purpose of service to others

By Cooking and sewing and putting on shows.

Our favourite mission is Medical Electives

Where surgeons in training are sent out to work,

In countries where doctors are scarce and much needed.

Our duty to others we never will shirk.

To faraway places we send from our bounty,

To help with the fight against injustice and wars

In Mozambique gardens and wells for clean water,

We reach out to people so far from our shores.

As Mothers and Grammas and Aunties and Sisters,

Our hearts reach out to our sisters in pain.

To Grannies in Africa caring for grandkids,

We lend them our prayers and our finances the same.

In shelters for Women at home and away,

Our local units make choices to pay,

For life’s necessities whatever they be,

To protect women and keep them out of harms way.

The United Church Women leave no stone unturned,
