Building on the report of Trustees & Council’s working group in early 2020, the bishop announced on June 10, 2020 the creation of the West Louisville Now special appeal. The appeal will fund crucial repairs needed at two predominantly African-American West Louisville congregations—St. George’s and Our Merciful Saviour—so that they can continue their vital presence and services in West Louisville. Our goal is $200,000. You can visit the West Louisville Now page on our website here.
