St. Anne's Guild - Episcoal Church Women

All women members of St. Theodore's are members of the Episcopal Church Women (ECW) and St. Anne's Guild. The purpose of St. Anne's Guild is to provide fellowship, education and service. We incorporate these goals in our programs and outreach activities. Our programs are spiritual, educational, and sometimes just entertaining. We have book reviews, musical presentations, and speakers from the community representing organizations such as the Children's Shelter, the Sheriff Department, the Bella Vista Animal Shelter and others. This year we are focusing our programs on “Our Anglicanism.”

We sponsor several activities in the parish including the annual church-wide picnic in June, The Church Periodical Club, and The United Thank Offering . We have ecumenical luncheons to foster communications with other churches. Our annual Bakeless Bake Sale provides money for our projects and various charities in Bella Vista and Benton County.

Several of our women have been involved on the diocesan and national level of ECW. Many attend Women's Institute at Camp Mitchell in June and the Annual Meeting in October. We have supported the diocesan Time for Joy retreat for young women by sponsoring two retreatants from our parish each of the last two years.

St. Anne's Guild meets the first Tuesday of the month, September through May, at 9:30 a.m. in Sengel Hall. This is an active group of women seeking to live in the light of Christ. Come join us!
