Zion-Memorial

The UCW is a group for women of all ages and interests.

The UCW’s mission is to love God; foster Christian commitment, faithfulness, and spirituality; and promote respect and love for all God’s creation.

Any woman “willing to contribute her prayers, gifts, and services for the work of the Church” may join the United Church Women (UCW). Along with providing important networking and social bonding opportunities, the UCW has led discussions on, for example, feminism and restorative justice. Indeed, says Moderator Jordan Cantwell, United Church Women are the “hands and feet” of the church.

The Canadian Tai Chi Academy teaches 108-move Tai Chi,
a style developed by Master Moy Lin-Shin (1931-1998).
He modified the traditional Yang Style 108-move Tai Chi set
to maximize the health benefits for faster health improvement,
as he realized that in a modern society,
an exercise that was good for health
was more important than a martial art for fighting.

For ages 9 to 11

Comfort Quilters, Carleton Place, was formed in 2007 to share comfort and warmth, with the gift of a handmade lap quilt, to someone in our community facing difficult times. Our quilts have been donated to the CPDMH, LCHomes, Army Navy, CP Legion, Youville Centre and local churches.

We have received donations of fabric from various sources over the years but would greatly accept donations of quilting thread, batting, backing fabric or a little cash so that we might continue to gift.

We are a small group of gals that meet Tuesday mornings at 9-12 at Zion Memorial United Church for fun, laughter and stitching therapy. We would love to have you join us. No experience necessary.

Alcoholics Anonymous is a fellowship of people who come together to solve their drinking problem. It doesn’t cost anything to attend A.A. meetings. There are no age or education requirements to participate. Membership is open to anyone who wants to do something about their drinking problem.

A.A.’s primary purpose is to help alcoholics to achieve sobriety.

Al‑Anon is a mutual support program for people whose lives have been affected by someone else’s drinking. By sharing common experiences and applying the Al-Anon principles, families and friends of alcoholics can bring positive changes to their individual situations, whether or not the alcoholic admits the existence of a drinking problem or seeks help.

The Sew’N’Sews are a group of ladies (men welcome) that get together every Wednesday morning  in the church hall. There is always a large quilt in a quilt frame so some ladies quilt while others do crafts, knit, crochet etc. Others work on a project of their own and come out to enjoy the fellowship. We stop mid-morning for a 'Cupa' and a treat. We start at 9 a.m. but there is no definite time to arrive or leave other than at noon. There is no roll call, fees or speeches - just good fellowship and busy fingers. The Sew’N’Sews are always ready to help (if we can) with a project you may be having trouble with or will even make or finish a project for you. We always have some items in our cupboards for sale especially hand made Baby Quilts (ideal gifts for new babies). We have Sales tables at the UCW Christmas Bazaar that are filled with beautiful gift ideas, mitts, toques, etc. All monies raised from our sales go into the UCW Treasury to be used for Zion-Memorial Church and community projects. Items donated to our sales tables are always welcome.

Brownies is a group for girls age 5-8.
In Brownies, girls jump into imaginative activities and hands-on projects, gain new skills they can use in everyday life, make close friends, and find ways to “Lend a Hand” (the Brownie Motto!) in their communities. 

For ages 5 and 6.
In Sparks, girls play and explore together and begin discovering their individual skills, talents and interests. After making their promise to “Share and be a friend,” Sparks get to know what Guiding is all about as they build new friendships and start earning badges.

We have received donations of fabric from various sources over the years but would greatly accept donations of quilting thread, batting, backing fabric or a little cash so that we might continue to gift.
