Tornado Relief through ERD
 Episcopal Relief & Development has been in contact with local partners in the Episcopal dioceses of Fort Worth and Oklahoma following tornadoes on May 16 and May 20 that caused severe damage and loss of life. These devastating events were caused by a large storm system that set off tornado alerts from Texas to Minnesota.
At this time, Episcopal Relief & Development encourages prayers for those impacted, and for first responders who are providing immediate assistance. Donations to Episcopal Relief & Development's Tornado Response Fund will support outreach efforts in affected areas and help meet urgent needs. Please click here for a flyer regarding the efforts, or go here to give your financial help online.

Sunday School: Giving Back to our Parish
 Our Sunday School students had a great time this week giving back to the people of our parish. They showed their Christ-like behavior by washing the feet of some of their fellow students and teachers, and baked cookies for parishioners to enjoy after the 9:00 a.m. service. What a great example of selfless service!
