Attention Ladies of Province VI ECW! We are holding a retreat in Rapid City, SD for the dates of October 1-3, 2021. Arrivals will come to Emmanuel Episcopal Church in Rapid City on Friday, October 1st. The address is: 717 Quincy Street. We will have dinner at 6pm, followed by introductions, and Compline.

Phone: 605-394-0017. They will be held until September 10th, after that, you can still reserve a room under Province VI ECW, but the rate will not be the $99.99 per night.

Shelter season is fast approaching! At the end of this note, you will find a link connecting you to everything you'd ever want to know about volunteering at the shelter and more! Pastor Erica, co-director of the Connections Shelter, put this all together for us. You will find volunteer job descriptions, donation suggestions, sign-up sheets, covid policy, and other updates.
Please let me know if you can't open the link or if you would like a printed copy. Also, feel free to call or email me with any questions at any time. We will be hosting the first week, October 4-10, partnering with St. John's Catholic Church. Please take a look at the information in the link and consider being a part of this ministry. Thanks so much!
