News & Notes

On Sunday, December 7, all plate donations will go toward support of David's discretionary fund. In November, we helped a family displaced by a house fire with emergency aid. Thank you for your generosity!

We are looking for worship assistants to help with our Christmas Eve service at 5:00 on December 24. Please get in touch if you are able to act as a lector, lay eucharistic minister, usher, or with the flower and altar settings!

Remember Episcopal Relief and Development this Advent.  

If you are a regular donor to ERD, you probably know that they have a matching grant for this Advent season.   That means that every dollar you donate now will be matched by another donor, whether you give to one of their major funds (Hurricane Relief, Ukraine Crisis Response Fund, Women, and many more) or choose a particular item from the Gifts for Life Catalog (beehives, mosquito nets, etc.) 

If you are not familiar with ERD, you should look at their website, https://www.episcopalrelief.org/, where you can read about their innovative ways to address problems caused by natural disasters, poverty, warfare, and climate change, and to develop long-term solutions.  Because they work through local dioceses and locally-led organizations, they can be on the site of a disaster more quickly and efficiently than the Red Cross, and they can charge less for gifts of goats and chickens and such than Heifer.
