Christ Church Deer Park - ACW: Anglican Church Women

Anglican Church Women

Membership in ACW is open to all Anglican women. There is no invitation, nor obligation, to join, although all women can be members. Today we are mothers, business women, labourers, academics, social activists, professionals and unemployed ... each with a different gift to bring and not unlike our models in the Biblical stories

Visit the Diocese of Toronto ACW website here: www.acwtoronto.ca.

Tuesdays at 12:30 pm

You are invited to bring your lunch and join the Anglican Church Women for the presentations.

The CCDP ACW is a busy group which

provides financial support to the parish and to our many Outreach projects;

assists with receptions and parish special events;

assists with our two, annual parish Rummage Sales, sorting and pricing donated items;

co-ordinates and organizes the annual Christmas Fair (and we think our Rummage sales and Christmas Fairs are the best in the city);

co-ordinates and organizes an annual Bridge Luncheon;

hosts annual Spring and Christmas luncheons for shut-ins.

The St. Andrew's Group of ACW

This active group meets every Tuesday at 10 am to enjoy quilting, knitting and then fellowship over a brown bag lunch, with a monthly guest speaker. Each year a quilt is designed, pieced and hand stitched to be raffled at the Christmas Fair. Knitted articles, and Christmas decorations are also prepared for sale at the Fair.

These home crafts are making a comeback and here's an excellent opportunity to refine your skills or learn new tricks from experienced hands. Just drop in and introduce yourself.

The Chancel Guild

The Chancel Guild's function is to prepare the Church for worship. Members rotate monthly in groups of three, meeting for about 1 1/2 hours on Fridays to maintain the brass, silver and linens, change the altar and lectern hangings for each season and special occasions (Baptisms, Weddings and Funerals) and ensure adequate supplies of wine, wafers and candles. Flower arrangers also rotate on a monthly cycle.

The group has great team spirit and new members are always welcome. If interested in joining this spirited group, please call the church office: 416-920-5211.
