ECW Annual Spring Meeting: How to transform your ECW - the Redeemer success story
Two years ago,
the ECW at Redeemer, Midlothian, like many ECWs in the Diocese of
Southern Virginia, struggled to survive. Then, they decided to
transform their ECW program. Today, meetings are well-attended.
Volunteers gladly help with outreach and service projects and enjoy
enriching fellowship. What inspired the women of Redeemer, and how did
they accomplish this transformation? Come to the ECW Spring Annual
Meeting at Good Shepherd, McKenney, VA, May 17 to hear
first-hand how they did it. Redeemer ECW board members who drove the
ECW transformation will share their success story. To RSVP, contact Louise Boss, 757-678-5331 or louiseboss@exede.net,
by May 5.
