We welcome you to ECW and hope you will join us in our mission and ministry here at Atonement.


We meet monthly to discuss and plan outreach projects.

You are invited to join us for these meetings.

The meeting dates are in our church services bulletins and

announced on Sunday mornings.



PURPOSE

The purpose of this organization shall be to empower the women of The Episcopal Church to carry out Christ’s work throughout the world.


VISION

As the eyes, ears, hands, and heart of Christ in the world, we will persist in the work of healing, justice, and peace.


LIVING THE MINISTRY

To live Christ's ministry we:


  • Listen to voices of women worldwide;

  • Promote educational, spiritual, and social programs which minister to women and children;

  • Provide opportunities and tools to grow relationships with God and others through spirituality, prayer, and worship; and

  • Encourage the development of women's leadership by example in stewardship, training, and education.


And as we pursue furthering God's kingdom here on earth, we use the Five Marks of Mission, developed by the Anglican Consultative Council and adopted by The Episcopal Church's General Convention, to help frame our thinking about mission and ministry. The Five Marks are:


  • To proclaim the Good News of the Kingdom

  • To teach, baptize and nurture new believers

  • To respond to human need by loving service

  • To seek to transform unjust structures of society

  • To strive to safeguard the integrity of creation and sustain and renew the life of the earth



Logo Representation:


The Cross represents our life in Christ and serving Christ in the world.

The Circle stands for the hope for wholeness in our lives and for others.

The outflowing lines from the center depict the many works of ECW going out into the world.

The lines intertwined with and coming out of the center of the cross are our lives centered in Christ.
