Caring For Each Other

Did you know that 82% of married women in the USA will experience widowhood? 

Sometimes widows isolate themselves, even within the Body of Christ. Not “wanting to be a burden,” they become reluctant and reticent to share their needs and easily become "invisible."

The scriptures teach that God cares greatly for the widow. For the widow, God
is their defender. We are to plead for the widow's cause, to care for her, and
there are blessings for those who do.

When the church selected seven men of good repute, full of the Spirit
and wisdom to serve the widows' needs in the first century, it was an act of of obedience (Acts 6).

The apostle Paul wrote to the church leaders in Ephesus a very direct and specific set of instructions on how we should minister to widows. James emphatically pronounces that pure and faultless religion in God’s sight is based on attending to widows and orphans.

Today there is a renewed understanding that the Church is called to serve her widows and to support them as they take their place in the church.

All Saints' Episcopal Church is home to a very supportive group of ladies who have lost their husbands in one form or
another. They have united in support and fellowship. They have a lot of fun together and they would be honored to
share their experience with you and to help and encourage you in your journey.

Losing one's husband is a difficult experience of change - from one kind of life to another. For this reason, we use
the example of the change a butterfly goes through to become a new and beautiful part of God's creation. We believe
this change is possible through love and support. We are here for you!
