Anglican Church Women
The Anglican Church Women (ACW) is an organization throughout the APCK, and we have a chapter here at St. Augustine’s in Chico. Our female church members organize to provide hospitality and fun events; raise funds for congregational projects and international ministry; and care for members of our flock.
Our officers for 2023 are:
President – Kathryn McKenzie
Vice-President – Loring Hammer
Secretary – Eileen Leadbetter
Treasurer – Giti Hansen
Yearly events by our ACW include:
Advent and St. Valentine’s Bake (No Bake) Sales, where members supply baked and other goods for sale, while others can buy or simply make a donation (no bake).
The Thaw, our annual Chili Cook Off at the Spring Equinox, encourage members to bring their best chili dishes, and we feast on variety of chili preparations.
St. Augustine of Canterbury Day Italian Food Festival commemorates our patron’s voyage from Rome to Canterbury to share the faith with the English. It is our fond hope that they also shared some tasty Italian food.
The Ice Cream Social in mid-Summer cools our bodies and sweetens our hearts as we celebrate Sundae Sunday.
We also enjoy many other fun and fabulous social times with our church members.
ACW is sponsoring two charities, one local and the other international. Our local charity is the Women’s Resource Clinic, a place that offers women and their soon-to-be-born babies the opportunity to choose life. The ACW also sponsors a girl, Munni, in Bangladesh through World Vision. Due to the generosity of our members, Munni is being fed, clothed, educated, and equipped for life. Her family and village also benefit from the ACW’s support.
Our ACW meets monthly and sets its course with prayer, inspired readings, and life-changing projects. Please come and join us!

We recently held a silent auction, “Tea for Two,” that offered three sets of two English bone china cups and saucers along with some British tea and cookies. The three sets are all in new happy homes.
We also enjoy many other fun and fabulous social times with our church members.
