One Body, Many Parts

Loving Each Other

	All women of Ascension are invited to be members of Episcopal Church Women (ECW), a national organization of the Episcopal Church. Ascension's ECW is divided into smaller groups called circles, which meet at varying intervals throughout the year at restaurants or members' homes. The Altar Guild and each ECW circle has a representative on Ascension's ECW Board, which meets monthly to plan events from church receptions to fundraisers. The money that we raise is used to support our local parish as well as regional, national, and international ministries. The ECW provides a wonderful opportunity for sisters in Christ to support each other in prayer and fellowship and to work toward common goals in our mission and ministry in the world.
