Donate to ECSLA in Honor of Nell's Work
Consider making a financial contribution in honor of Nell to support the work of ECS. Your gift will allow us to continue the good work that was begun in this Diocese in the latter part of the 19th Century by Frances Joseph Gaudet and that has continued into the 21st Century with the work of Nell Bolton, the work of two remarkable women who heard the cry of the least among us and responded without hesitation.
Your gift will be the foundation of an endowment that will begin to be built in 2013. |

SECC Sunday Is ComingSolomon Episcopal Conference Center
We are excited about the 3rd annual SECC Sunday drive centered on Sunday, September 16. Many of you have already heard from "Solomon Ambassadors" about envelope and brochure requests as well as some "airtime" at services on or around this date. You will see more updates in the EDoLA Newsletter as well as the upcoming ChurchWork.  We are looking forward to continuing to improve upon our donations received last year. Many of our donations came closer to December last year, so this is really a fall/winter campaign. Please let me know if you have any questions about SECC Sunday and thank you all for the support. Visit our website here. Faithfully Yours,
Frank Hall
Executive Director, SECC
