The services have been generally well attended by our own congregation and those who have sought refuge with us from the enemy on our coast. May God in good time hear our prayers for peace and deliverance from our enemies! The Ladies still continue their exertions among the poor, though they have during this year…

During the past year the Church Aid Society has opened a Hospital, and has thus far been blessed in its efforts in the branch of Christian work. This Society, and one formed of the children of the Church, give high promise of usefulness. Soon, the Rector hopes, that a Hospital on permanent foundation, and a…

The Ladies’ Sewing Society, organized in 1878, was responsible for the purchase of a lot, the acquisition of a building moved to the site, and its renovation and furnishing as a rectory. In an article written for the local paper, presumably in 1928, celebrating the fiftieth anniversary of the society, Miss Lena Smith, daughter of…

Grace Church, Plymouth, is in much better condition than I expected to find it, the enemy having put in it plain windows and pews. The only injury the church building sustained during the attack on Plymouth was from three shells, one passing through the spire, one through the roof, and the third destroying the casing…

The United Thank Offering depends very little upon wealth or poverty, but rather it is a measure of our thankfulness. It comes mainly in small offerings from a large number of women. During the year 1931 offerings were sent to me through eighty-one branches of the Woman’s Auxiliary [in NC]. These together with similar offerings…

I am glad to mention that there has been a revival of interest in the Ladies’ Benevolent Society, and that they have resolved to work more zealously for Parochial objects; and also, to unite, without change of organization, with the Woman’s Auxiliary Society of the General Church. Though the material result of this may not…

1974, January 6 “We are simply persons: frail, feeble, funny creatures who do great deeds out of mixed motives. In this world great happenings come out of the most incredible and unfitting circumstances. Should we be less than thankful for them?” [Source: Rose Flannigan (Mrs. Eric G Flannigan, Jr.), ECW President, in a letter to…

Resolved, That the Convention do heartily recommend to the different congregations of our Church, and particularly to the female members of the same, to lend their aid to supply the wants of the Church, by the formation of similar societies (such as Cent Societies, to which Society members contribute a small sum weekly).” (Source: Resolution…
