Episcopal Church Women (ECW)

EPISCOPAL CHURCH WOMEN

It’s great to see more familiar faces each Sunday as our "Snow Angels" begin to return And to every new woman coming to Nativity, we invite you to come to all Episcopal Church Women events.

All women should have received a separate mailing of the 1999-2000 ECW calendar. We hope you will look forward to the scheduled activities and join us. Please feel free to ask a friend, family member or neighbor to any of our functions; the more the merrier. Also, if you haven't received a calendar or if you need a ride, don’t hesitate to call either Irene Wernick, 351-0827, or Nicki Coffaro 355-7165.

If you haven’t seen her, you must save this evening. Invite a friend, too. This program will be too good to miss.

OPERATION CHRISTMAS CHILD SHOE BOXES will be collected around November 18. We have participated in this Samaritan’s Purse Worldwide Project before and we know how gratifying it is to know these shoe boxes will be delivered to children around the world and we sure have fun shopping! Please watch for more details.
