The Way of the Cross
Diocese of Georgia, Episcopal Church Women
May 20, 2006
As our Diocesan members and representatives met with the lovely ECW Women of Province I V
each year, we were enthralled with the l ovely crosses the Diocesan Presidents wore. Each lady told
of the passing on of the cross they were wearing to the next Diocesan President. Each told of the
history behind the cross.
Jane Pressly, my predecessor as ECW Diocesan President of the Diocese of Georgia, and I
decided that we, too, in Georgia needed to have a President’s Cross to wear proudly as President
and to hand down to each ensuing President.
Our ECW in the Diocese of Georgia have a lovely and unique sterling silver alms basin which is
used across the Diocese for our UTO offering. The Ladies Auxiliary of the Episcopal Church (the
predecessor of our ECW) crafted this basin in 1956. Ladies giving their silver pieces donated the silver
across the Diocese. We were thrilled with this idea and decided to invite ladies across our Diocese to
donate gold pieces that were unusable, to fashion a cross for our President to wear. Women joined
hands across our Diocese and donated gold pieces for the cross. I tems such as single earrings, rings,
broken bracelets and chains and even dental crowns were put into the cross.
The cross was designed by the 2003-2006 ECW President, Marcie Cherau, and immediate
past ECW President, Jane Pressly, 2000-2003. The cross is 14K and 18K gold, 2.5” by 1.5” and is
engraved with “ECW” on the triangle of the cross. I n the tradition of the Celtic cross, the cross is in
the shape of the fleur-de-lis with arms outstretched to create the cross. The circle on the cross
symbolizes the great endlessness of God’s love shown through Christ’s crucifixion. The woven
latticework on the cross is symbolic of the fish “be ye fishers of men”. The gold triangle in the center
symbolizes the trinity, “Father, Son and Holy Spirit”.
A smaller cross in the form of a lapel tie tack, a replica of the original cross, is being created. I t
measures 1.25” by 1”, and may be presented to our outgoing presidents as a memento of service to
the Diocese of Georgia, ECW.
By Marcie Cherau, President ECW Diocese of Georgia, 2003-2006
Episcopal Church Women’s Prayer
A
lmighty God, we pray that you will bless our work in
mission and ministry in the world. We give thanks for the
gifts of joy and wonder to be found in your works. Make us so
thankful for the power of your love, given through your Son, Jesus,
that we may pray, labor and give liberally to make known that love
throughout the world. Bless us that our lives may shine forth the joy
and wonder we share in your Na me. AMEN.
O
Mnipotente Dios, te suplicamos que bendigas nuestros
esfuerzos en mission y ministerio en el mundo. Te damos
las gracias por los dones de alegría y maravilla a ser descubiertos en
tus obras. Que nos hagas tan agradecidas por el poder de tu a mor,
dado a nosotras en tu hijo Jesús, que podremos orar, trabajar y donar
generosamente para que se conozca tal amor en todo el mundo. Que
nos bendigas para que la vida nuestra pueda ilu minar la alegría y las
maravillas en que participamos en nombre tuyo. AMEN.
Purpose

Letter from the President
Many Paths, One Journey; Prayer, The Basis of All Women’s Ministries
My Dear Sisters in Christ,
Welcome to the 121st Annual Meeting of the Episcopal Church Women, Diocese of Georgia. We
are blessed to be meeting at the beautiful and historic St. Paul’s Church in Augusta. A big THANK YOU
to Margaret Lester Jordan of St. Paul’s , Augusta, Chair of the Augusta Convocation’s Annual Meeting
Planning Committee, and to you who worked so diligently with her on the various committees to make
this event possible. Your efforts are most definitely appreciated.
Four of our board members attended the Episcopal Church Women’s triennial meeting in
Indianapolis this past July and I attended as an alternate delegate from the Diocese of Georgia to the
National Convention being held at the same time. It was a wonderful opportunity for us to represent
you and to learn, share and gather information with other like minded women from across the country.
Our theme for the next three years is “Many Paths, One Journey; Prayer, the Basis of All
Women’s Ministries.” We have three years to study and learn and work within this theme. “The
greatest tragedy in life is not unanswered prayer, but unoffered prayer.” F. B. Meyer
Our speakers for this meeting are Sister Carol Andrew from the Convent of St. Helena here in
Augusta who will speak to us Friday evening about prayer and Ms. Judy Woodruff, co-anchor of the PBS
News Hour, who will be speaking to us on Saturday. Ms. Woodruff is an Augusta native who now
resides in Washington, DC. In addition to her current work with PBS, Ms. Woodruff has covered politics
and other news for more than three decades at CNN, NBC and PBS. She is a popular speaker and we are
pleased that she has chosen to accept our invitation to speak.
I plan during the next year to visit with as many of you as possible; to learn what you’re involved
in and to bring us together as a Diocese through shared ideas. Please let me know when and where you
meet and I’ll do my best to be there.
I pray that each of you will receive a special blessing for being here and that you will relax and
enjoy your meeting as you learn more about prayer and how each of us can better serve Christ in our
respective communities.
In His Love,
Carolyn Baker, President
Diocese of Georgia ECW (2012-2015)

Organization of Diocesan ECW Board

treasurer), convocation representatives (currently six) and the chairwomen of the various
committees. Committees currently established are the United Thank Offering (UTO), the Church
Periodical Club (CPC), Worship, Nominations, and Communications. Members
shall be elected for a term of three years unless appointed by the President to fill an unexpired
term. Board members are not eligible to serve in the same office for a consecutive term.
The officers and committee chairwomen constitute the Executive Board.
These board members represent every woman in our diocese. All ECW members are welcome to
attend a board meeting to learn more about the diocesan ECW business. There are budgets to
oversee and programs to supervise, as well as arrangements for the Convocation Days of Sharing
and the annual meetings. The diocesan work is shared and the process of making friends and
networking is accomplished at these meetings.

United Thank Offering
United Thank Offering Emble m
The new United Thank Offering emblem seen above shows the UTO s ymbol superimposed over
the Episcopal Church Shield, showing that United Thank Offering is an integral part of the
Episcopal Church.
The United Thank Offering Prayer
GRAC IOUS GOD, source of all creation, all love, all true joy: accept, we pray, these
outward signs of our profound and continuing thankfulness for all of life. Keep each of us ever
thankful for all the blessings of jo y and challenge that come our way. Bless those who will
benefit from these gifts through the outreach of the United Thank Offering. This we ask through
Him who is the greatest gift and blessing of all, Jesus Christ. Amen
Diocesan UTO Alms Basin
A very large and beautiful alms basin, made of sterling silver donated by women of the diocese
many years ago, is used for the United Thank Offering Ingathering at the Diocesan Episcopal
Church Women’s Annual Meeting each spring. Any parish in the diocese may borrow this alms
basin for use at its ingatherings. The UTO alms basin can be reserved b y contacting the
Diocesan UTO Coordinator. It is kept at the Diocesan House in Savannah and anyone borrowing
it is responsible for collecting and returning it to the Diocesan House.
What is United Thank Offering?
The United Thank Offering is a personal and family devotional program of The Episcopal
Church. It is a practice in our life in Christ that begins with daily pra yers and gifts of
thanksgiving. These gifts of thanksgiving – coins and bills dropped in the UTO Blue Box – from
each individual (man, woman and child) are combined with others at parish and diocesan
celebrations and finally within all of The Episcopal Church. The Offerings totaling nearly $3
million each year (January through December 31) are given awa y in the form of grants. These
grants continue to support and strengthen the mission and ministry of the Church throughout the
world. Every penn y of the Offerings is allocated each year for granting.
Who provides the leadership for United Thank Offering?
The Church UTO Coordinator. Almost every parish in the 7,000 + Episcopal congregations
has a volunteer who is the church UTO coordinator. This volunteer provides the education and
programs to her parish and plans the spring and fall ingathering services. Church UTO
coordinators play a vital role in educating their parishioners to the prayer and practice of the
United Thank Offering.
16
The Diocesan UTO Coordinator. Each diocese has a UTO coordinator who supports the parish
UTO coordinators with materials and information. They also help screen the grant requests
within their diocese and research those that are forwarded to the UTO Committee.
Here in the Diocese of Georgia, the coordinator receives the spring and fall ingathering offerings
from the churches in the diocese, records these offerings, and mails a check in the amount of
these offerings to the New York office. She holds a UTO workshop in conjunction with the
ECW Annual Meeting each spring and represents UTO at the Diocesan Convention each
February and the Province IV Women’s Conference each June. Also, she attends the Triennial
Meeting of the Episcopal Church Women where she attends UTO and other leadership
workshops.
The UTO Coordinator for the Diocese of Georgia (2011 – 2013) is:
Dr. Marcie Cherau
382 Balboa Drive
Poinciana, FL 34759
The UTO Committee. On the national level, members of the UTO Committee establish policies
and make granting decisions. Each triennium, the UTO Committee is made up of one person
selected from each of the nine provinces of the Episcopal Church USA (ECUSA) and three
members elected b y the former Committee to serve as members at large.
UTO Committee expenses are paid from trust fund earnings, which are separate from the
offerings. The UTO office and staff are supported by the general budget of the Episcopal
Church USA and are located at the Episcopal Church Center in New York City.
UTO Materials
UTO materials are available for you to use to help encourage participation in the United Thank
Offering. Twice a year (February and August) an envelope containing a letter, order form, and
sample UTO materials is sent to each church. Current materials available can be viewed on the
UTO website. They are found by clicking on “The UTO Store”. You ma y also view color
samples and order them online at www.episcopalparishservices.org or call Episcopal Parish
Services toll free at 1-800-903-5544.

*
Have Offering Envelopes in the pews on Ingathering Sunda y
Keep posters up
Mention UTO in the bulletin, perhaps print a meditation for quiet time
Print some sample prayers or blessing in your bulletin
* Give a UTO report at all ECW meetings. Remind them that this is a women’s ministry of
giving thanks to God for daily blessings
* Publish your parish’s latest giving amount
* Let the congregation know where the money is used
* Name the UTO in the Prayers of the People; say, “for the mission and ministry of the United
Thank Offering.”
* Distribute bookmarks
* Compile a list of thanksgivings for your parish
* Ask the choir director to sing the UTO h ymn
* Use the UTO pra yer
* Set up a UTO table at an upcoming function
* Ask your rector or vicar to promote UTO
* Go to the UTO web site, www.ecusa.anglican.org/uto (this is a super resource!)
* Call the Episcopal Parish Services at (800) 903-5544 to order UTO materials. Many of these
are free, the rest are extremely inexpensive.
The mission of the
United Thank Offering is to
Expand the circle of thankful people.
To achieve this mission, we encourage daily prayers, offerings, and
awareness of the abundance of God’s blessings.

Guidelines for Church UTO Coordinators
Guidelines for church UTO coordinators can be found in the United Thank Offering
HANDBOOK. This handbook is a treasure of information about UTO.
The following is a suggested timetable for important church UTO coordinator tasks and events
unique to the Diocese of Georgia:
INGATHERING DATES
(Suggested) Fall
Spring Ingathering – Sunday before or nearest Ascension.
Ingathering – Sunday closest to All Saints Day.
UTO Workshop
This training and sharing time for church UTO coordinators and
supporters of UTO is led by the diocesan UTO coordinator and is
held during the ECW Annual Meeting each spring. It is important
that all church coordinators attend this meeting.
As Soon as Possible
Coordinate the dates for your Ingathering Services with your priest
and/or worship committee. Be sure the dates are included on the
church calendar! Request that a separate offering for UTO be
collected and that a sermon be given on mission (UTO).
Order the supplies that you will need for Spring and Fall
Ingatherings at least six weeks in advance.
Publicize – it is your responsibilit y to inform the congregation
about United Thank Offering and what it does throughout the
world.
Have UTO Blue Boxes, brochures and other materials available at
all times.
Put announcements in your church newsletters, bulletins, and
website often.
Post lists of UTO grants and posters on the church bulletin board.
(More suggestions can be found in the UTO Handbook.)
Month Before Ingathering Include a paragraph about the UTO Ingathering in your church
newsletter and enclose a Blue Offering Envelope.
Ask parishioners to make checks payable to your church or ECW
and earmarked for UTO so offerings can be deposited in your local
account.
Secure ushers for the UTO collection.
Arrange to use the Diocesan UTO Alma Basin, if desired.
19
Sunday Before Ingathering Ask your priest to announce at all services that UTO Ingathering
will be held the following Sunda y and that Blue Boxes and Blue
Offering Envelopes will be collected at that time.
Have extra UTO Blue Boxes and UTO Blue Offering Envelopes
available now.
Ingathering Sunday
Place extra UTO Blue Offering Envelopes in each pew.
Provide ushers for UTO collection (identify b y having them wear
the UTO emblem and/or blue ribbons or UTO scarves.
After the service, collect the UTO envelopes, boxes, checks, and
cash.
Make an accurate record of the collections. If possible, list names
and amounts of contributions (this is for your church and ECW
records).
Deposit collection, plus any late contributions, in a UTO, ECW, or
church account earmarked FOR UTO ONLY. NOTE: Some
people will be late in giving, so check with your church secretar y
or treasurer to be sure you have received and recorded any late
offerings.
One Month After
Ingathering
Within one month after your Ingathering, you are responsible
for sending (or seeing that your ECW or church treasurer sends)
ONE CHECK ONLY for the total amount collected for UTO and
made payable to United Thank Offering.
Your check should be mailed to:
Dr. Marcie Cherau
382 Balboa Dr.
Poinciana, FL 34759
Deadlines for Ingathering checks to be sent to the diocesan
UTO coordinator are:
Spring Ingathering - June 30
Fall Ingathering – November 30
It is ver y important that checks reach the diocesan coordinator in
plenty of time for her to record and deposit the checks and send
one check from the Diocese to the national UTO office in time to
be included in the current year’s grant awards. (Spring ingathering
monies earn significant interest when deposited into UTO
investment accounts as early as possible. This interest earned
increases the amount of monies available each year for granting.)
20
Apply ing For a Grant
The Episcopal Church Women's United Thank Offering (UTO) fund annually awards grants to
numerous worthy organizations and projects throughout the Church. The bishop may submit up
to two application s from the diocese. There are often more than two organizations that would
like to submit an application. In order to prioritize, the bishop meets with the UTO Grant
Committee of the Diocesan ECW in November to review the short form applications. The two
applicants meeting all the prerequisites of the UTO grant polic y and who, in the committee's
opinion, have the greater need, will be sent the long form applications to be completed and
submitted from the Diocese of Georgia.
The following timetable is currently applicable:
September - October
Short form applications to be submitted to the Diocese and UTO
Grant Committee
November
The Diocesan UTO Grant Committee and the bishop select two
applicants to complete the long form application (which will be
mailed from the diocesan office)
December - Mid-January
Long form applications are to be returned to the diocesan office for
bishop's signature and comments
Mid to Late January
Applications submitted from diocesan office to national UTO office
(postmarked no later than 31 January)
SHORT FORM APPLICATION

Because the need is great for
• Books, periodicals, audio/visual materials and other printed tools.
• To spread the Good News
• To encourage literacy
• To supply essential tools to seminarians, teachers, clergy, and missionaries
• To train leaders
• To nurture a fuller life.
Who Can Help?
You can!
How Can You and Others Help?
•
•
•
•
•
•
By promoting observance of CPC Sunday in your parish
By offering to be a parish representative
By contributing material and money
By encouraging your vestry, ECW, and other church organizations to participate
By distributing inspirational literature in jails, nursing homes, hospitals, homeless
centers,
By providing fellowship and book grants for deserving students

Camp Honey Creek Scholarships
Camp scholarships are provided by the diocesan ECW through the camp director.
Local chapters are also encouraged to sponsor campers. Such financial assistance is particularly
helpful (and appropriate) for children from low-income families and for foster children.
[Note, camp scholarships are also available from the EYCS]
25
Communications
Remember that publicit y and reporting are not a form of self-aggrandizement but a means of
sharing the faith. So don’t be timid about communicating what you are doing, what’s coming up
and how an event or project turned out.
Think about including your ECW, your parish and your communit y when planning events.
Publicizing an Upcoming Event
Just remember the Trinity and you can’t go wrong!
 Advertise events THREE times in THREE different ways beginning THREE months
ahead.
 Create your flyer, bulletin release, announcement, etc with your target audience in mind.
 Remember that people take in information and respond to it in basically three levels:
• Level One – Headlines & subtitles; graphics & captions (80% of
readers)
• Level Two – Short cop y; boxed information; charts etc. & captions (1060% of readers)
• Level Three – Bod y cop y (1-10% of readers)
 Let the local newspapers and TV stations know about your event.
Reporting After the Event
 Plan ahead! When planning an event, designate one or two people to take
photographs and write a report for your parish bulletin or newsletter, the diocesan
newspaper and the local newspaper.
 Follow the same “Three Level” rule
 Identif y what’s happening in a photo as well as the people. Action photos are good.
 Keep body cop y brief
 Submit the article/photos in a timely fashion after the event

can feature them in upcoming issues of From the Field.
Writing a Press Release
Who? What? When? Whew? Why? How?
1.
Use 8 1/2 x 11 sheets of paper, preferably bearing your church's or group's letterhead. If
letterhead stationery is not available, use plain white paper and include your organization's
name, address, phone and FAX num
2. List your name or that of a designated individual as the contact person who is responsible for
answering an y questions a writer or editor may want to ask before, during or after your event.
3. Write a headline for your release; it should be a short phrase or sentence telling what the
release is about.
4
Keep the release as short as possible - ideally, not more than a page or two.
5. Include onl y essential facts (who, what, where, why; when and how). Avoid adding extra
details that are not Important or relevant to what you're writing about If someone calls to
interview you or ask for more information, you can always provide more details, if
necessary. NOTE: A press release is a way to convey factual information; if you are looking
to express an opinion, give thanks, do a critique, enlist support or promote a worthy cause,
the best way to do it is through a letter to the editor.
6. Alwa ys send out a professional looking release: it should he typewritten or word-processed,
and double-spaced in format. Leave a sizable margin (also called white space) on the top and
bottom of the page.
7. Proofread the release before photocopying and mailing, checking for spellings of names,
reviewing phone numbers, addresses and dates. Check grammar and punctuation, too. If you
find errors or misspellings, redo the release.
8. I£ your release is longer than one page, the word MORE should appear at the bottom of the
first page. At the end of the release, place a “30” or a series of three number signs (###) to
indicate there are no more pages to follow.
9. Mail or FAX the release to only one contact person at each newspaper, radio or TV station;
be sure to send it far enough in advance of the event you've written about.
