"Our Mission is to bear witness to God's love and invite, encourage, and prepare God's people to share that grace with others." 

ECA Hurricane Relief Efforts

Often during times of tragic devastation we feel immense emotions and the desire to do something for those who are affected by such tragedy. The best thing we can do right now is pray for all those affected, the individuals and families who have lost so much, First Responders, National Guard soldiers and Defense Force volunteers, relief agencies, church organizations, and private organizations. I would ask that instead of collecting items to be sent to the affected areas, please prayerfully consider donating to Episcopal Relief and Development. All the money raised goes to help for immediate response and then long term recovery efforts. Here is a link to the donation portal: Hurricane Helene Donations
