EPISCOPAL CHURCH WOMEN'S PRAYER

Almighty God, we pray that You will bless our work in mission and ministry in the world. Make us so thankful for the power of Your love, given through Your son, Jesus, that we may pray, labor, and give liberally to make known that love throughout the world. Bless us that we may shine forth the joy and wonder we share in Your Name. Amen.

Birthday Bag Project

The mission of St. Bride’s Chapter of the Episcopal Church Women (ECW) is to provide an opportunity to nourish women as Christians, build lasting friendships through fellowship with each other, promote spiritual learning, and provide service to our church, community and the world.
All members of the church are welcome. The ECW supports the church through funeral or celebration meals, financial support via voluntary monetary donation and as requested and voted upon at our meetings.
In 2022, ECW contributed to the Diocesan United Thank Offering and the Diocesan ECW.  Locally, we donated money to Lifeline and Hope House.   Purchases in 2022 included new flooring for Father George’s office, a new microwave for the kitchen, a weighted blanket for Oregon Living and Rehabilitation, a car seat for our Hope House Christmas family, flowers for Joan Burkhalter’s funeral, and a gift (gas card) for Father George as well as supplies for the St. Gregory’s Choir treat bags and birthday bags for Loaves and Fish Food Pantry.
