ORGANIZATION OF EPISCOPAL CHURCH WOMEN

DIOCESE OF NEWARK

UNITED THANK OFFERING

This is not a budget item to be raised by an offering to share. It combines prayer and action and it educates the whole Church on the connection between giving thanks and giving money. We are united in sharing and praying in order to respond in a pioneering way to carry out Jesus’ command for us to “feed and take care of His sheep”.

WOMEN & INFANTS’ CENTERS

The Centers were begun in 1984 and was established by the ECW of the Diocese of Newark.

THE EPISCOPAL CHURCH WOMEN’S PRAYER

Almighty God, we pray that you will bless our work in mission and ministry in the world. We give thanks for the gifts of joy and wonder to be found in your works. 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 our lives may shine forth the joy and wonder we share in your name.

Amen.
