The Ladies’ Union meets for a noon-time “pot luck” meal followed by a short business meeting or a program. It was formed in 1963 when the Methodist and the Congregational churches became the United Church of Craftsbury; the two long-existing women’s service groups of each, the Willing Workers and the Earnest Workers, respectively, combined to form the Ladies’ Union. Over the years the group has enjoyed an ecumenical aura with members representing not just Protestant denominations, but Roman Catholic, Jewish, and other beliefs as well.
