Arkansas ECW 
Bringing women of faith together locally and across the Diocese of Arkansas

Episcopal Church Women (ECW) is an organization with state and national ties. We meet in our own churches, gather two times annually across the state, and find to our delight that our diverse ages and backgrounds bind us in friendship and love. Look us over. Join us. We would love for you to be a part of our community as we learn God’s plans for each of us.
"We are a Christian women’s group dedicated to the betterment of all women and girls throughout the world. Over the next three years, your local leaders and the national board are focused on improving the lives of members and their communities. Join us in embracing the covenants of the Episcopal Church and celebrating women through fellowship."

-Karen O Patterson (National ECW President 2018-2021)

UTO and CPC

The United Thank Offering (UTO) is a ministry of The Episcopal Church for the mission of the whole church. Through UTO, individuals are invited to embrace and deepen a personal daily spiritual discipline of gratitude. UTO encourages people to notice the good things that happen each day, give thanks to God for those blessings and make an offering for each blessing using a UTO Blue Box. UTO is entrusted to receive the offerings, and to distribute 100% of what is collected to support innovative mission and ministry throughout The Episcopal Church and Provinces of the Anglican Communion.
Church Periodical Club (CPC) is an independent, affiliated organization of the Executive Council of the Episcopal Church, dedicated to the worldwide Ministry of the Printed Word and to the Promotion of Christian Mission. It is the only organization in the Episcopal Church dedicated solely to providing free literature and related materials, both religious and secular, to people all over the world who need and request them and who have no other source for obtaining them.
