Many of you have asked what is the best way to help the good people of Oklahoma recover from the devastating tornado. After emailing the Bishop of Oklahoma I believe the best way is to give financially. You may either send directly to Episcopal Community Services, earmarking the check for "Oklahoma Recovery", or gather the gifts at your church, then send us one check earmarked "Oklahoma Recovery". We will send one check from this Diocese to The Episcopal Diocese of Oklahoma.

Thank you for your support.
