The women of St. Mark’s meet regularly to share and encourage one another and unite for the total mission of the church.  We are constantly working on finding new and exciting ways to socialize and to serve the membership of St. Mark’s and the larger community. Membership is open to all women of the congregation. Contact ucw@stmarkswhitby.ca to find out more about St. Mark’s UCW or to join a meeting and see what we’re like and what we’re doing.
