The Mission of St. Andrew’s ECW is to enrich the spiritual lives of our parish women and to support outreach efforts that benefit primarily women and children within and beyond the Omaha community.
Welcome from the St. Andrew's Episcopal Church Women! All women at St. Andrew's are members of the ECW -- there are no dues involved! We offer spiritual and fellowship events and engage in a variety of ministries, including the Nearly New Shop and the Arts and Crafts Faire. We faithfully distribute the funds received from these ministries, focusing on groups that help women, children, and families. We welcome your energy, involvement, and ideas.

St. Monica's Guild is a part of the ECW that meets on the 3rd Wednesday of each month (September-May) at noon for lunch and fellowship, fun, and service. St. Monica's members create welcome bags for St. Monica's Home in Lincoln, which serves women and children focusing on mental health and addiction recovery. Guild members also support the Sew Powerful, an organization that supports women and children in Zambia by creating good-paying jobs there creating products that change communities-things like school uniforms, soap, and farm fresh food.
