Diocesan news from Episcopal Relief & Development

By The Very Rev. Keith Emerson (St. Paul's, Suffolk) Diocesan Coordinator for Episcopal Relief & Development

During the first quarter of 2013, congregations throughout the Diocese of Southern Virginia contributed $13,548.80 to Episcopal Relief & Development. $4,789 was designated for Hurricane Sandy relief with the remaining amount donated to the general fund. I am grateful to the following congregations and groups for their gifts:
  • Church of the Advent, Norfolk
  • Eastern Shore Chapel, Virginia Beach
  • Emmanuel Church, Hampton
  • Emmanuel Church, Virginia Beach
  • Emmanuel Church, Cape Charles
  • Grace Church Women, Yorktown
  • Old Donation Church, Virginia Beach
  • Church of the Redeemer, Midlothian
  • The Diocese of Southern Virginia
  • St. James' Church, Warfield
  • St. John's Church, Hampton
  • St. Martin's Church, Williamsburg
Episcopal Relief & Development has launched a new website. You can find it at www.episcopalrelief.org. It provides great information about various projects and efforts as well as helpful resources you can use in the parish. Donating is easier than ever. Please check it out and share the site with friends.
