As the federal government intensifies its focus on immigration enforcement, many Episcopalians—lay and clergy alike—are asking how they can support immigrant neighbors and parishioners, and how to safeguard all who gather in their churches. 
 
Join Episcopal Migration Ministries on Tuesday, May 20, for a discussion exploring how local congregations are engaging with immigration enforcement and taking faithful action in their communities. 
 
Please note: This conversation is part of the ongoing Episcopal Immigration Updates, which will be extended from 30 minutes to one hour on May 20. 
 
Guest panelists for May 20 include: 
  • Mary Davis, vice chancellor for immigration and refugees in the Episcopal Diocese of New York 
  • The Rev. Alyssa Stebbing from St. Christopher’s Episcopal Church, Austin, Texas  
We look forward to this important conversation and hope you’ll join us.

Loaves & Fishes

Picture
Help feed those in need during illness or other adversity

If you have experienced illness, adversity, or the birth of a child, you probably have experienced a need or desire to have someone take care of you! Our Loaves and Fishes ministry is a group of volunteers who step up to provide meals for folks in the parish who are temporarily experiencing a time when it is difficult to get meals on the table. Meals can be homemade, or a gift card can be provided. We use an online sign-up application to coordinate with the recipient and each other.
 
To offer the gift of a meal is as much a gift to the giver as it is to the recipient.  Let us know if you are in need!
 
To volunteer, or if you need some meals, contact Katie Lauter at [email protected]​
