Anglican Church Women (ACW)
Anglican Church Women (ACW), through acts of
Christian charity, help support the mission of the Church in the
Parish, Diocese and Province. Through this association, a woman
avails herself to the opportunity to grow as an individual and as a
member of a group. Each member of the ACW actually becomes a public
relations herald of the parish. She represents her church to the
community. She can further the work of the Church substantially as
an individual, as well as by her participation in the activities of
ACW as a group.
Don't let this description or "purpose" scare
you--it's really a lot of fun!
Throughout the year, our ACW plans the most
wonderful projects and activities. Some of the most popular have
been an evening of summer theater, a golf outing, an Oktoberfest
celebration, a field trip to a nearby winery which included lunch,
the yard sale, Mardi Gras night, a bake sale and cake auction, the
giant Easter Basket raffle and our annual St. George's Day
Celebration and Brunch.
In addition, there is the In-parish Out-reach
programs which involve sending cards and visiting the sick and
elderly in the parish, supporting our youth group, nursery and
church school. The ACW Scholarship Program is designed to distribute
monies to deserving students for scholarships or grants and there is
also a fund to support summer youth camp.
Our ACW also handles distribution of the Anglican
Liturgical Ordo Calendar and the Lenten Mite Box Offering.
