On Easter Sunday, Parkwood, Ottawa held a reception to honour Mrs. Margaret Williams, on her 100th birthday. Designated a deaconess by the Presbytery of Cape Breton in 1935, Williams is an active member of Parkwood. She served as church librarian for many years, taught the Bethel Bible classes and sang in the choir. Until three years ago, she was an active elder. She is seen receiving a congratulatory certificate from Donna McIlveen of the Order of Diaconal Ministries, which is also celebrating an anniversary this year (see General Assembly coverage).
