Attention Episcopal Relief & Development Parish Representatives

The Diocesan Network Coordinator attended the Episcopal Relief & Development Network Managers meeting in Atlanta last week and is excited to share with parish reps information and tools he has gained to enhance the ability of Network Coordinator and Parish Reps to better serve in this ministry. 
Episcopal Relief & Development is entering the 75th year anniversary of "healing a hurting world". During the next twelve months there will be a lot of information being disseminated throughout the Diocese about Episcopal Relief & Development's goals for this celebration and our role to accomplish them.  
To keep all parish reps included in the flow of information and our important role in this process,the Diocesan Coordinator is requesting all parish representatives to update their contact information by May 31, 2014. You may do so via email at tjwarren@bellsouth.net or telephone (910-371-2353). 

Thanking you all for your service to this ministry. 

Prayerfully
Thomas L. Warren, Diocesan Coordinator
