Every woman who belongs to the Episcopal Church is a member of the ECW/Women's
Ministry. The purpose of this organization is to assist the women of the Episcopal Church to carry on Christ's work in
the world and to take their place in the life, governance and worship of the church. We participate for the spriritual growth,
fellowship, service, education, leadership training, and mission focus. Here at St. John's, we meet the second Sunday
of each month and usually sponsor the Women's Day Program and Luncheon. We usually sponsor one or two other fund raisers
during the year. The monies collected are used for the OUTREACH programs. We also oversee the collection of food for the Episcopal
Community Services, school supplies for the needy children, adopt-a-family at Christmas, send knitted sweaters to children
worldwide, hats and scarves to Seaman's Church Institute, and coordinate efforts for United Thank Offering. From time
to time we take on other projects. No special invitation is necessary.
