Mission and Outreach

Mission Plate for August

Due to critical need and urgency, the Mission and Outreach Committee has decided to
change the mission plate for the remainder of July from “Cradles to Crayons” to the Episcopal Relief and Development Fund for the people affected by the Texas floods. We will continue to seek funding for the people affected by the Texas floods until the end of August. Episcopal Relief and Development is working with longstanding partner, the Episcopal Diocese of West Texas to provide support to those impacted by the catastrophic July 4 – 5 Texas Hill Country Flooding. During this flash flooding event up to 13 inches of rain fell rapidly on Central Texas, impacting multiple counties. The full extent of the damage is devastating. Hundreds of homes, mobile home parks, R.V.s and roads have been destroyed. Numerous people are homeless. People no longer have their businesses to return to for their livelihoods. There are 138 people confirmed to have lost their lives and many others injured. Be part of the healing, hope, and recovery. Please pray for the communities affected by the Texas flash flooding. Please donate to the Episcopal Relief and Development Fund which is responding to the critical need and urgency caused by this disaster.

Sincerely,
Susan L Grant, Chairperson of the Mission and Outreach Committee
