An invitation to all Women of Chapel

 The Chapel of Our Saviour Episcopal Church Women (ECW), which is comprised of EVERY woman attending Chapel, invites you to become engaged, share your talents, give a little or a lot of your time. Of the 34 ministries listed which ministry interests you? What can we tell you about each ministry?

Can you give an hour a month, an hour a week, a plate of cookies for a reception, toss popcorn at the Pignic, teach the children, weed a garden patch, knit a cap or blanket?

So much to do, so little time to spare BUT together we can have an impact on and make a difference to others, as well as ourselves.

Call us, ask questions, join in, become engaged and connected. We’d love to hear from YOU!
