EPISCOPAL CHURCH WOMENAll women members of St. James the age of 16
and older are members of the ECW. The
object of this association is a fourfold ministry of worship, mission, fellowship and
advocacy. The women meet once a month for
fellowship and project planning, beginning with a wine and cheese gala in September. Annual fund raisers include a rummage sale, a
bazaar, the United Thank Offering and the World Service Offering.

DAUGHTERS OF THE KINGThe Daughters of the King is an order for
women who are communicants of the Episcopal Church. Members
undertake a rule of life incorporating the rule of prayer and the rule of service. By reaffirmation of the promises made at
confirmation, a daughter pledges herself to a life long program of prayer service and
evangelism, dedicated to the spread of Christ’s Kingdom and the strengthening of the
spiritual life of her church. The St. Monnica chapter of the Daughters of the King meets
on a monthly basis.
