News & Events

For updated information on the crisis in Haiti and to make an immediate, convenient and secure contribution to

Episcopal Relief & Development's Haiti Crisis to help those affected by the earthquake.

MESSAGE FROM THE PRESIDING BISHOP REGARDING THE CRISIS IN HAITI

We are all praying for those in Haiti who are suffering so deeply from yesterday’s strong earthquake. I have made a

statement to the Church, Episcopal News Service continues to issue news as it becomes available, and Episcopal

Relief and Development has already made an initial emergency grant to the Diocese of Haiti. I am certain that people

in your own dioceses are already praying, and will want to know how best to respond. At present, these are the

immediate needs:

1) prayer, for those who have died, those who are injured, the grieving, the displaced, and all whose lives have been

so grievously affected;

2) financial gifts to Episcopal Relief and Development, marked for Haiti. These facilitate both the initial emergency response,

in ways most needed by the people of Haiti, and eventually, the longer-term recovery response.

Your diocese may have interest in eventually assisting rebuilding efforts. Recovery and rebuilding will take years.

Episcopal Relief and Development may be involved in rebuilding diocesan health and feeding ministries. If those are your

interests, please contribute directly to ERD, and now. If your local interest is in rebuilding church buildings or providing funds

for diocesan operations, I would encourage you to support such efforts, but for now, please collect and retain any funds and

emerging assistance plans within your own diocese. The Diocese of Haiti will not be ready to respond to that kind of rebuilding

help for some time, and when it is, the work will need to be prioritized and directed by Bp Duracin and his staff.

LENTEN POTLUCK SUPPERS AND BIBLE STUDY - FEBRUARY 24, MARCH 3, 10, 17 & 24.

Beginning Wednesday, Feb 24 and concluding on Wednesday, March 24, St Edward's will hold weekly Lenten pot-luck suppers,

followed by a Bible Study and Eucharist. This is a time for singles, couples, and families to come together in the parish hall for

an evening of food, fellowship and spiritual nourishment.

Supper will begin at 6:15 p.m., the Bible Study will begin at 6:45 and Eucharist will begin at 7:30. The evening activities will end

no later than 8:00 p.m. A sign up sheet is in the parish hall for those who desire to attend the meal. Beverages will be provided.

Come for the entire program or for a segment. If you can come to the supper, but need to get home after eating...that is fine!

If you can't make it for the supper, but can come for the Bible Study... that is fine! If you come just for the Eucharist... that is fine!

Come for as many of the Wednesdays in March as you can. You are always welcome.

During the Bible Study, children ages 3-9 will go to the Sunday School area for a program planned just for them.

Children ages 10 and older will remain in the parish hall for Bible Study. We are looking for 3 people to help in the kitchen

each dinner. Sandy Patrone is in charge of setting up the dinners. If you are interested in helping, please contact Sandy

at sandypatrone@yahoo.com or call 872-8381. There will be instructions on what to do and it will be kept simple.

If you have any questions please contact Tina Shank at 449-2279 or mshank200@comcast.net
