Our Annual Gatherings
by Genia Thomas, The Church of the Ascension, Claymont
Women from all around the
Diocese of Delaware met at
The Church of the Ascension on October 20, 2007, for the annual
meeting of the Diocesan Episcopal Church
Women (ECW). After registration and a
continental breakfast, we heard of the
wonderful work being done in the name of
the women of the diocese to accomplish
Christ’s mission in Delaware. Women
from each church represented next told of
the work being done in their own parishes.
We then put together “Coming Home
Kits,” using items donated by the parishes,
for the Way Home Program which serves
men and women being released from Delaware prisons. In addition to the practical
items needed as the prisoners transition
to life in society, we enclosed prayers written
by the women for the inmates. The group
also decided that our 2008 project will benefit
the Seamen’s Center in Wilmington. Worship closed our day, with Bishop
Wright preaching and celebrating and a
collection for United Thank Offering taken
up. A special thanks is due to the women
of Ascension who, by donating wonderful
food and drink for our breakfast and
lunch, made more funds available to aid
mission projects sponsored by the ECW of
Delaware. Thank you to all of the women
of Delaware who made for such a wonderful,
productive day together.
