Episcopal Church Women

The Episcopal Church Women (ECW) Ministry contributes significantly to the church and community through sponsoring, supporting or participating in an extensive range of activities throughout the year.
 
ECW’s main fundraising activity is the annual Christmas Fair, held the first Saturday in December in conjunction with the Falmouth Holidays by the Sea weekend.  The fair is a fun, worthy event that offers a variety of ways to participate: crafters, bakers, knitters, wreath makers and many others are needed to make the fair a success.
 
Proceeds from this event allow ECW to fund established projects which include scholarship awards to deserving high school seniors and the Salvation Army Dress-A-Live-Doll program. The Dress-A-Live-Doll program enables ECW to provide a complete ensemble of clothing and toys at Christmastime to needy young children and gift cards to teenagers. In addition, ECW makes charitable contributions as opportunities arise within Saint Barnabas, the community and beyond. Some examples of church projects ECW has supported are the Parish Hall Bathroom Renovation, window replacement in the Parish Hall, interior painting and furniture reupholstered in the Parish House, and most recently, the Church Restroom Accessibility Project.  Children here in Falmouth receive backpacks and school supplies through ECW participation in the Falmouth Service Center’s Fresh Start Program and young children in Guatemala benefit from our donation to Maya Childcare.
 
ECW is fully committed to supporting the leadership and other ministries of our church in any way needed.
 
The ECW ministry of Saint Barnabas is open to all baptized women of the church. All are welcome to join ECW and participate in any of its varied activities and programs.
