Episcopal Church Women

The ECW supports and inspires all women in the church as they strive to express in word and deed their love of God, family, and neighbor. Worship is the inspiration of all of our missions. Our goals will not be accomplished unless we remember to keep Christ at the center of all that we do. Through service to our parish we reflect our love of God.

We develop projects which will benefit our parish, our ECW, our neighborhood, and our community. We aim to nurture all women of the church who are welcome as members of the ECW. Our meetings are a place where relationships are developed; where women’s roles in the church are not only recognized, but honored; where each woman’s talents and gifts are affirmed, whatever they may be; and where women can grow individually and collectively. Every woman of Saint Barnabas is a member of ECW.

We provide gift bags that are distributed to the homeless at Christmas, and help stock the freezer for emergency meals that are distributed by the clergy to church members. We meet on the second Tuesday of each month at 6:00p. Two assigned hostesses provide the program as well as lettuce, bread, and dessert, and each member brings a salad ingredient, and nursery care is always provided.
