Episcopal Church Women Annual Meeting
The Episcopal Church Women (ECW) is holding their annual meeting at St. John’s on Wednesday, April 27th. The Reverend Lauren Winner will attend as our special guest speaker, along with the Bishop Rob Skirving. They will conduct regular business and participate in a Rite II service, which will include an order for the induction of new officers. Holy Eucharist will be offered during the service.
The history of ECW traces back to 1871, when General Convention allowed the organization of what was then titled Women’s Auxiliary to the Board of Missions. Three years later, the first meeting was held in New York. Episcopal Church Women as its currently known was officially formed in 1985, at the Triennial Meeting.

ECW August Gathering
The Rev. Mary Frances Curns of St. Anne’s, Jacksonville, presents "Praying with the Hymns." It is a prayer practice that allows for the participants to 'hear' what God is stirring up in them and to reflect on their own personal lives to find the connections to healing, comfort, challenges, forgiveness etc. It requires participation only if you feel led to do so.
Our schedule for the day will be as follows:
9:00 Registration
