Episcopal Church Women

ECW Meeting June 22, 2010

The ECW at St. Peter’s continues a long tradition of service to the parish, the community and beyond. The group meets on the third Wednesday of each month at the parish house.

There are several noted outreach activities:

1. An annual auction is coordinated as its main fundraiser and allows the ECW to make contributions to the charities that they choose to fund. Monies are also used to purchase some of the supplies used by the church.

2. They also sponsor the Village Dinners on the first Wednesday of each month

3. During Christmas they collect presents for needy families

In October, 2010 the ECW Annual Meeting was held at St. George's. Many ECW members from St. Peter's were in attendance.

  

Here is a slideshow of the event.

They held their end of year celebration at Mimi's in Fredericksburg on Dec. 15, 2010. Here are some photos of the event.

$5,000 given to charities in 2010

The November meeting of the women of St. Peter’s focused on the charities we support and money was designated for needy projects both locally and nationally. Five hundred dollars was also given to the St. Peter’s Steeple fund in honor of those who have worked so hard over the years to support our church.  Other charities include Covington Boys Home, Jackson-Field for Girls, St. Andrew’s School, Native American Project, The Dominican Republic Mission Project, Hospice, Habitat for Humanity, Bragg Hill Family Center, Five Talents, CERVE, World Vision and Our Little Roses in Honduras. Many thanks to all who have supported ECW fundraisers!
