Bishop’s Annual Appeal
From the Pastor’s Desk…
This week I mailed a follow-up letter to parishioners who had not yet
responded to Bishop Bootkoski’s request to support the 2005 Appeal.
If this letter arrived after you made your gift, please accept my
apologies and my thanks for your generosity.
“We are One in the Body of Christ” when we work together in
service to others. Please pray for the
success of the Appeal.
“If a brother or sister has nothing to wear, and no food for the day, and you do not give them the necessities of life, what good is it?” James 2:14-17
