Parish Life Groups at Grace 

The Episcopal Church Women (ECW) are women of all ages whose purpose is to assist the women of the church to carry on Christ's work in the world and to take their place in the life and worship of the church. The work of the ECW begins in the local parish and spreads its ministry through the diocesan, provincial and national levels.

Since 1871, The National Episcopal Church Women, ECW, has championed women's rights and the Christian foundation of God and family. We are a ministry of the Episcopal Church and celebrate that Episcopalians believe in a loving, liberating, and life-giving God: Father, Son and Holy Spirit.

The Order of the Daughters of the King is an order of women who are communicants of the Episcopal Church, churches in communion with it, or churches who are in the Historic Episcopate. The Order’s purpose is to bring others into a living, loving relationship with Jesus, our Lord, and Savior, and to help strengthen the spiritual lives of our parishes and missions.

Members undertake a Rule of Life, incorporating the Rule of Prayer and the Rule of Service. By reaffirmation of the promises made at Confirmation, a Daughter pledges herself to a life-long program of prayer, service, and evangelism, dedicated to the spread of Christ’s Kingdom and the strengthening of the spiritual life of her parish.ic at our Sunday School gathering time on Sunday mornings. There are other parish occasions as well when the group will play.

Cursillo is an opportunity to grow in faith and in spirituality. Cursillo in the Diocese of Alabama begins with a three–day weekend at Camp McDowell. During these three days, lay people and clergy share their experiences and perspective on a variety of topics related to the love of God, the Christian life, and Christian community. Through Cursillo we seek a deeper understanding of the teachings of Jesus and how we can serve Him. We work together to share God's love and encourage each other to persevere in carrying out our Baptismal vows. Cursillo starts with a three day weekend, but the best is yet to come!
