Does your church offer a food bank, mission trips, immigration services, racial reconciliation or other ministries? The
Episcopal Asset Map
is a powerful tool that allows you to see what is happening at churches in your region and throughout the Diocese. The map can help build networks between people interested and involved in similar ministries, so you can share ideas and strategies or be inspired to go in entirely new directions.
The Episcopal Asset Map is grassroots-populated, which means you can share what's happening in your church.
Find your church,
and if you see an update that needs to be made click "more details," then "update this place." Changes will be reflected after they are approved by the diocesan map administrator. Questions? Contact

Resources for Preparing a New or Updated Will
|
|
If you don’t have a will, how would this impact your family and others you care about? One of the wonderful things about your will is that it gives you peace of mind, knowing that you have provided for your loved ones.
Now is a great time to prepare a new or updated will. The Diocese can provide you with a guide to assist you with planning and also suggest types of bequest language to give to your attorney. Contact
