Outreach and Ministries
For as in one body we have many members, and not all the members have
the same function, so we, who are many, are one body in Christ, and
individually we are members one of another. We have gifts that differ
according to the grace given to us: prophecy, in proportion to faith;
ministry, in ministering; the teacher, in teaching; the exhorter, in
exhortation; the giver, in generosity; the leader, in diligence; the
compassionate, in cheerfulness.
~ Romans 12: 4-8
Episcopal Church Women
The ECW is to unite the women of the church in a program of service and fellowship which will deepen and strengthn their won spiritual lives and lead them into service and the church. We encourage women to be a part of the life of the church, and to utilize their skills through fund raising activities and other events. Our moneymaking projects are two Dessert and Card Parties, a Rummage Sale and a Bazaar. We donate money to the Rector's Discretionary Fund and many charities within our community. We also provide and host Funeral Receptions that we are asked to do within the Church. The ECW also hosts coffee hours when asked and we provide many supplies for the Church kitchen and where needed within the church.
The Epicopal Church Women meets the 3rd Monday of each month and at which time we enjoy a lunch meeting and have fun making plans four our projects while doing well for the Christ Episcopal Church Commmunity.
The Altar Guild
The Altar Guild works together to prepare the Altar for each service and are always looking for new members. This group helps with celebrations of life including weddings and funerals. We place the Pall on the caskets. The Altar Guild also purchases the Altar flowers and vestmants when needed.
Outreach
The Outreach team engages in the ministry that God has called us to do. Reaching out to those in need can be one of the most rewarding thing we can do. Our activities include: serving meals for the Salavation Army; Pennies for Children, where money raised goes feed children locally, nationally, and internationally; Community Picinic in September, celebrating America, and a Valentines Party as well as a Christmas Party which gave pajamas to children involved with Community Action.
