Food Pantry Ministry Evolving to Meet Changing Conditions
As the needs of the hungry in our area change, and the best way to help the food pantries we assist changes along with that, we are adjusting how we ask for your support. We will continue gratefully to accept offerings of money from parishioners, but we will be adding an option to make a food donation at the Church as well. Starting now, our Outreach Coordinator, Leigh Oppelt, has listed in the bulletin the items in particular need at the programs we are assisting.
NOTE CHANGES!
Right now that list is: DELCO Food Pantry: Canned fruit or chicken; canned soups, stews and chilis; any noodles & spaghetti sauce; cooking oil or spray; toilet paper & paper products.
Kensington Food Ministry: single serve snacks [i.e. chips, cookies, crackers, etc.]
Episcopal Relief and Development (ERD)--More Sad News:
We've talked a number of times about the fact that Episcopal Relief and Development, our Church's disaster relief agency, often operates in the background, working through local dioceses or other agencies who are established in the area. Our work tragically has been in the news once again. In Gaza City is a hospital founded and funded by the Anglican Churches around the world. We all have a faith family connection to the appalling loss of life there. After bombing carried out by both sides on the hospital, it has remained a place of refuge for those displaced by the warfare and bombing by the Israeli Army (IDF). This week, the IDF has ordered the hospital to shut down and to expel all those who have been sheltering there. Remember those killed (and their families), and the hospital’s reopening in your prayers and support ERD for rebuilding.
Readers/Intercessors Needed for Worship Services
With the installation of the new camera, audio, Internet, and streaming equipment, worship is no longer a solo by the Priest celebrating. Parishioners are needed to read lessons and lead prayers--two per service [and two for every 7:30 service!]. If you can help, please contact Helen Dunlap or leave a message at the Church Office.
ERD: A Good Way To Help Victims of the LA Fires
Episcopal Relief & Development [ERD] is already hard at work through and with the Episcopal Diocese of Los Angeles to aid those whose homes and lives have been devastated by the fires in the area. You can give either by writing a check made out to the parish, with ERD on the memo line, or going to https://support.episcopalrelief.org/ and making your donation there.
"The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of God, and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit, be with us all evermore."
