UPDATE August 30, 2021 
​We want to share and celebrate how the parish is modeling what we ask of each of you – to discern what God is asking you to with your resources and give proportionally.
Here is our charitable giving from this week:
​

• Local Flood Relief - $5000 from Vestry Reserve; $10,000 from Rector’s Discretionary Fund 
• Flood Relief in Haiti through Episcopal Relief & Development - $5,000 from Vestry Reserve (to learn or give more click here).  

Of course, we also give a proportion (13%) of our Operating Budget to Ministry Beyond the Parish and each January we give a proportion of our Endowment Earnings and operating budget surplus based on the year prior to others (this year it went toward addressing local homelessness, Lake Logan Camp & Conference Center and Episcopal Relief and Development).

Finally, we want to celebrate the HARD WORK and generosity of time and talent that went into the Parish Fair.  Through income from the fair as well as a contribution from the Rector’s Discretionary Fund, we are able to fund each non-profit who applied for grants.  Those include:
