ECW Meeting

 

Nov 20, 6:30 pm in the Parish Hall:  ECW annual meeting and election of officers. Wine and cheese party and wine tasting program.

 

WHAT IS THE ECW?

 

ECW is a national organization of women within the Episcopal Church who affect the church's mission through a range of programs including prayer and outreach. Our motto is "Joy in Service."

In 1872, women of the church formed the National Women's Auxiliary as a way to take part in church life. The national organization connected provincial, diocesan and parish branches, enabling women to apply their energy and imagination to church life in a range of ways and bring our leadership skills into the church. In 1958 the Auxiliary was renamed the Episcopal Church Women (ECW) to recognize the fact that women are an integral part of the church's life.
