Assisting the victims of Dayton tornadoes
|
|
The National Weather Service has confirmed that 21 tornadoes struck west central Ohio on May 27-28. The hardest hit neighborhoods were in the Dayton area; Trotwood and parts of Montgomery County were struck by an EF4 tornado, while Beavercreek, Celina and parts of Greene and Mercer Counties suffered damage from two EF3 tornadoes.
St. Margaret’s, Trotwood, has been actively engaged in relief response, serving as the epicenter of Trotwood tornado recovery operations. This small congregation has distributed thousands of meals, bottles of water, articles of clothing and other supplies to the victims. They could use our help! In addition to financial assistance (

They have plenty of bottled water and clothing are are no longer accepting donations of these items at this time
.)
Donations can be dropped off at the church at 5301 Free Pike in Trotwood

The Episcopal Church at Pride
|
|
Columbus
St. John’s, Worthington will sponsor an entry into the 2019 Stonewall Columbus Pride Parade on Saturday, June 15, 2019. This is a walking contingent only (no float or car), so participants will have to be able to walk the entire time.
The parade steps off at 10:30 a.m., but anyone participating should plan on meeting no later than 10 a.m. at the intersection of Park Street and Goodale Street (the southeast corner of Goodale Park) where the parade is being staged. The parade route is approximately 2 miles long, and travels down High Street to Bicentennial Park downtown. We have been assigned to Section D of the parade. We are near the front, so it is important for participants to arrive no later than 10 a.m. We expect that participants should be done by around 1:30 PM.
