Episcopal Church Women
The purpose of this organization is to assist the women of the Episcopal Church to carry on Christ’s work in reconciliation in the world and to take their place in the life, governance and worship of the Church.
Who we are: Women of all ages, ethnic origins, socio-economic backgrounds; all members of the Episcopal Church USA, who choose to participate. We are homemakers, working mothers, career women, ordained, single, married, widowed, divorced. ECW provides a framework for joint ventures with the many sister organizations within the Episcopal Church USA.
Our Episcopal Church Women meet on the second Sunday of the month. We are responsible for many and varied parish events, among which are funeral and special receptions, the children’s Easter egg hunt, the Church picnic and the annual parish Christmas party. We also host several fundraisers throughout the year. In the summer we hold a barbecue in honor of Holy Redeemer day . September is when we have our fish fry to raise money for the scholarship program. Our annual Fall Bake Sale, includes a chili and hot dog lunch and a 50/50 raffle. Our annual dues and the funds raised enable the ECW to contribute generously to local, community and international causes.
Our Prayer
Almighty God, we pray that you will bless our work in mission and ministry in the world. Help us to pray fervently, labor diligently and give liberally to make known the power of your love given through your son Jesus Christ. Let us not forget the lessons from the past nor fear the challenges of the future.
Anoint us with your grace and shine in our hearts as we reflect your light throughout the world. Amen
