Episcopal Churchwomen

of St. John in the Wilderness

Almighty God we pray that you will bless our work in mission and ministry in the world. Help us to pray fervently, labor diligently and give liberally to make known the power of your love given through your son Jesus Christ. Let us not forget the lessons from the past nor fear the challenges of the future. Anoint us with your grace and shine in our hearts as we reflect your light throughout the world.

- Episcopal Church Women's Prayer

Membership and Activities

 

 
   

All of the women attending St. John in the Wilderness Church are automatically members of the Episcopal Church Women (ECW). And all are welcome and invited to participate at any time in our events and board meetings. Please call a board member if your have concerns or questions. (The church office can provide our phone numbers -- 651-429-5351). We want to continue to be active and to grow!

These are some of the activities we are involved in:

 

  We make kids quilts to give to local police and fire departments. These come in easy to assemble kits. (See examples hanging in our Parish Hall).

  We put on a great Fall Birthday Luncheon at the North Oaks Country Club and a Spring Luncheon at Rudy's Red Eye Grill. (See our calendar for dates).

  For 52 years we have hosted an annual Holiday Bazaar with many craft items, baked goods, treasure trove items, gently used jewelry and a luncheon and a quilt raffle.

  We also host an informational Bible Study during Lent with outside speakers or our on site clergy. This is open to both men and women.

  We give many Grants each year Locally, Nationally and Internationally.

  We have a biannual Rummage Sale on the 1st weekend of October and May to recycle our treasures and to raise money for our grant giving.

 

Annual dues are $5.00 and may be mailed to:
