PRESIDENT’S MESSAGE
Greetings, sisters in Christ,
It is my privilege to serve as President of the Board that represents every woman in the great and diverse diocese of Algoma.
We are young and old, rural and urban, rich and poor, tall and short—each of us bringing our own unique mix of gifts and talents. What unites us is simple and profound: we belong to Christ. And because we belong to him, we are called to do his work—to love, to serve, and to care for God’s people.
Throughout our history, Anglican Church Women have been known for faithful mission and outreach: in our parishes, across the diocese, throughout Canada, and around the world. That legacy continues because of you. Thank you for your generosity, your compassion, and your willingness to serve. Your loving and giving spirit makes a difference every day.
I look forward to gathering with many of you at our upcoming Zoom conference, sponsored by the Thunder Bay–North Shore Deanery, at the end of May. More information and registration details will be shared soon.
In the meantime, I encourage you to keep up the good work and to continue enjoying fellowship with other Anglican Church Women. May you be strengthened by one another and by the love of Christ that binds us together.
Yours in Christ’s love,
Barb Garvin
ACW Diocesan President
