 Episcopal Charities 2010 Annual Campaign Update
Our Glass is More Than Half Full!
Thanks to our hard working volunteers and our generous donors! The Episcopal Charities Annual Campaign has officially been underway since March 7th and still making progress.
Pledges not total $272,424 and we're hoping to reach our goal of $500,000 before year end. Our volunteers are doing their best to contact as many parishioners as they can before summer fun begins. You can do your part to help them. If you have not made a contribution yet, please be prayerful about what a difference your generosity can do to help so many in Rhode Island whose needs are great. We want our volunteers to reward themselves by having their summer fun, too.
By reaching this goal, we can all know that, as a Diocese, we can give hope and opportunity to those who live in desperate situations. For parishes that have not yet had an inspiring speaker, speakers continue to be available. Contact Peggy in the Charities office if you would like to arrange for a speaker.
Parishes are doing a variety of things to raise money. St. Luke's Pawtucket Sunday School had a bake sale and raised $221. Thank you, St. Luke's! Another parish is planning a dinner with proceeds going to support Charities. The recent tour by Trinity Church's Ministry of the Arts, performing the American Songbook, raised $3,700. Feel free to be creative in your efforts. Let us know; we will be happy to share your ideas and successes with other parishes.
"A Bright Future Depends on You."
Hoping you have a fun, wonderful and safe summer.
Don't forget the sunscreen!
