Aging Conference  

Participating in planning and presenting Austin conferences on Aging Well, via an Interfaith collaboration, ECR addresses the joys and sorrows, the challenges and opportunities of aging in our community. We also encourage attending the annual conference on Abundant Aging presented each year at Camp Allen by the Diocese of Texas and the University of Texas Medical Branch Sealy Center on Aging.

Boy Scouts 

ECR sponsors Boy Scout Troop 1407 which holds weekly meetings in the Youth Building, has monthly campouts, and a week long summer camp.  This ministry provides an opportunity to teach boys 11 though 18 years of age citizenship, leadership and life skills.  The 12^th point of the Boy Scout Law is that a scout is “reverent”

Brotherhood of St. Andrew 

The Brotherhood is an international ministry of men within the Anglican Communion to “spread Christ’s Kingdom among men”.  Local chapters such as the one at ECR perform this goal within our Church.  The three disciplines of the Chapter are prayer, study, and service.   ECR has had a Brotherhood Chapter for over 25 years which is part of the Diocesan Assembly.  Our Chapter provides services to ECR on special occasions and uses their combined time, talent, and treasures working to bring others nearer to Christ through His church.

Church Women United

Church Women United is biblically based through our shared Christian faith; gifted by our diversity of race, economics, age, culture, and theology; called by the Holy Spirit to act for justice on behalf of women and children.  There are monthly meetings September through June, with a theme for the year, and a service project for the month. Earlier efforts resulted in what is now the Betts Gardner Juvenile Center and the Center for Battered Women, as well as sewing rooms, and an International Holiday Market.

Cursillo

Cursillo, a Spanish work meaning "short course," gives church members tools and "rules of life" to enthusiastically share the joys of knowing Christ with others in their environment.  It starts with a four day experience at Camp Allen where people explore how to live into their discipleship. (We are all called to be disciples!)  After the weekend experience, the spiritual journey continues supported by weekly Small Group Reunions (friends that meet to discuss and hold each other accountable for their spiritual journey) and Ultreyas (larger gatherings at a different church each month or so for fellowship and support).

 Daughters of the King (DOK)

The Order of the Daughters of the King is an international religious order for Episcopal women.  Its purpose is to bring others into a living, loving relationship with Jesus, our Lord and Savior and to help strengthen the spiritual life of our parishes and missions.  The requirements for membership in the Order are that woman be a communicant in the Episcopal Church, be willing to participate in the preparation period and vow to accept the Rule of Life. The Rule of Life is a reaffirmation of the promises made at Confirmation, a Daughter pledges herself to a life-long program of prayer, service and evangelism, dedicated to the spread of Christ's Kingdom and the strengthening of the spiritual life of her parish.  To become a member, a Daughter completes a study that is done with other members, on completion of this study, and after prayer discernment, she is installed into this Order.   Our Daughters of the King meet once a month.    Prayer requests for the DOK can be placed in the special Prayer Box in the Narthex of the Church.

Episcopal Church Women of Resurrection (ECWoR)

The Episcopal Church Women of Resurrection meet the 3rd Saturday of the month in the Parish Hall.  The ECW has great programs that help each of us continue our spiritual journey.  We make contributions not only to our church, but also our community.  We would invite all women to join with us and enjoy a warm and friendly fellowship.  Every woman at ECR is by definition, a member.

 Order of St. Luke  

This is a healing ministry.  It involves the Laying on of Hands and anointing with oil and prayers for the recipient.  This can be done by an individual member or group.  It is offered the first and third Sundays in the Chapel or at the rail after communion on the 4^th Sunday.

Safe Place  

Safe Place is a shelter for victims of sexual abuse and domestic violence. ECR is one of three churches to provide funding to outreach case management.
