The ECW provides opportunities for all women, all ages, to serve both the church and the community. Much of the work of the women occurs in two guilds: the Ann Mason Guild, which meets mornings, and the Martha Guild, which meets evenings. Both are involved in many outreach programs and funds are raised at different activities throughout the year to support these programs. A main fundraiser is the Christmas Mart that is held on the third Thursday in November. In the fall we join all the Episcopal Church Women in the Diocese of Virginia for our annual meeting.
