Vision for WDRG, as developed by the Women's Ministry Council:
Connect and support all
women in their diverse ministries. Offering opportunity to gather for study,
recreating, celebrating who we are as women of Faith, Hope, and Love.
Do you have an existing ECW (Episcopal Church Women) or other Women's group (including DOK) at your church? Cindy Davis is hoping to connect with all current women's groups throughout 2020, and needs your help. Please email her with the name of the president of your women's group!

Women’s Ministry, UTO, and the Good Book Club
Join the Good Book Club in Epiphany, and be part of something big!
Women’s Ministry of the Diocese is joining with the United Thank Offering to participate in the Good Book Club during Epiphany. This year, we will focus on reading the Gospel of John.
The reflections are from last year’s UTO Grant sites, so we hope you’ll follow along to hear the stories of those your blessings went on to bless while you work your way through John’s Gospel. https://episcopalchurch.org/library/document/go-gratitude-reflection-guide-gospel-john. The booklet is designed for weekly use by individuals or groups.
Each week you will read a meditation, learn about a ministry, respond to thought-provoking questions, and think about what you are personally thankful for. You can join at any time throughout Epiphany.
If you are interested in learning more about UTO (United Thank Offering) check out their website (unitedthankoffering.com), or the new diocesan rep: Cindy Davis (utocindydrg@gmail.com).
