Parochial & Statistical Reports
The Bishop's Office is excited to report that membership in the Diocese of Easton has been holding steady over the past years after a period of decline. "This is great news," reports Bishop San who pointed to the decline in many other Diocese across the country. "This is a direct result of the hard work of our clergy and lay leadership who have been diligent and creative about ministry in our communities." We are grateful to all of our members for their part in making our Diocese a healthy and robust body of worshippers.

Bishop's Pastoral Directive November 2020
“So do not fear, for I am with you; do not be dismayed, for I am your God.
I will strengthen you and help you; I will uphold you with
my righteous right hand.”
(Isaiah 41:10)
Excerpted: "Our protocols require churches to maintain at least six feet of distance between families, or individuals not residing together. This requirement, along with the abundance of caution exercised by our leadership has in many cases already limited attendance to something akin to the Governor’s new directive. Our protocols also emphasize that the CDC and government requirements should be our primary source of guidance and so we expect our churches to make sure that no more than 25 persons gatherindoorsuntil this directive is lifted. We acknowledge that this directive will impact some of our larger churches." Read the Directive In Full here.

2021 Church Initiatives Grant Applications
Applications are now being accepted for the Diocese of Easton’s Church Initiatives Grant Program. Money is available exclusively to parishes and mission churches in the Diocese of Easton to undertake innovative programs and projects. The Grant Program is funded by investment returns from the Diocese’s St. Stephens Endowment Fund, a fund created with proceeds from the sale of St. Stephen's Church, East New Market several years ago.
This is the ninth year of the program’s existence. Last year three grants were awarded:
- St. Peter’s, Salisbury to provide start up funding for the St. Peter’s Choir School
- Shrewsbury Parish and La Sagrada Familia de Jesus for the development of the Shrewsbury Community Garden Site.
- St. Paul’s, Trappe to jumpstart their new outreach work to support needy families in their area.
Many grants have been awarded in all of our convocations over the years to support a wide variety of worthy initiatives. Some examples are:
- Trinity Elkton for computers to support Youth Sunday School, Adult Christian Education, and Food Pantry clients who are job searching, parishioners who do not have access to a computer, and for parish presentations;
- St. Paul’s Centreville to provide weekend meals to needy elementary school students;
- Christ Church Kent Island to fund a summer backpacks for kids program;
- Emmanuel Parish in Chestertown to help start an on-site afterschool program;
- Shrewsbury Parish to create a Kent County Coalition; and
- St. Andrew’s Mission in Hurlock to incorporate the Moveable Feast as part of its food bank program.
As much as $10,000 could be available to support community initiatives in 2020. The Church Initiatives Grants Committee is accepting grant applications now through February 4, 2021. Grant recipients will be announced at the Diocesan Convention with grants awarded in March 2021.

The Children's Home Foundation of the Eastern Shore of Maryland
For over 60 years, The Children’s Home Foundation has offered financial assistance to residents of the Eastern Shore of Maryland. It is a non-profit arm of the Episcopal Diocese of Easton. Since its inception in 1959 the foundation has awarded scholarships, grants and camperships in excess of $5 million dollars.
Scholarships are awarded to individuals in need of financial assistance to obtain vocational and technical training in postsecondary accredited institutions in order to enter the workforce, or to improve employment opportunities. Now, more than ever this program deserves support. Grants enable children and teens, who might not otherwise have the opportunity, to attend summer camp. And, because it is difficult to get a job without a driver’s license, some students have received help with the cost of driver’s education. This is a new CHF program started within the past two years, because so many local school systems have discontinued drivers education.
The foundation has a 501(C)-3 designation and is administered by a volunteer Board of Directors from all the counties on the Eastern Shore. Over 97% of all charitable donations go directly to our scholarship recipients.
Education and enrichment are the focus of the foundation, and it is our hope that you will consider donating to this worthy cause. Because of this year’s Covid 19 Pandemic, we need your support more than ever in the form of monetary gifts, modest or otherwise.
Always feel free to contact us if you are aware of individuals who might benefit from one of these programs. To learn more about our Episcopal organization we invite you to visit our website at: www.childrenshomefoundation.org. During this most difficult year please know that your support and prayers will help us continue in our work for our citizens who need it the most. “Inasmuch as ye have done it unto the least of these, my brethren, ye have done it unto me.” Matthew 25:40.
Your tax deductible donation made payable to CHF may be sent to: Children’s Home Foundation c/o Ann Allen PO Box 990 Salisbury, Maryland 21803

Christ Church, Easton presents The Songs of Advent
As familiar as we are with the songs of Christmas, there are four songs recorded in the Bible to celebrate the birth of Jesus that most of us aren't familiar with. The angels sang a song to the shepherds. Mary sang a song to God after she had time to get over the shocking news that she was going to be the mother of the Savior. Simeon also had a song. Then there's Zechariah's song. Zechariah was an elderly priest who sang after being visited by an angel. This wasn't like a Broadway musical—these people didn't suddenly burst into song. But the ancient church captured their words and created songs known as canticles.
Make Advent a special part of your preparation for Christmas this year. Join us for this meaningful time of study led by Wes Lockfaw. Classes will take place on Tuesday nights at 6:30 pm in a Zoom format beginning Tuesday, November 24 through Tuesday, December 15. To register for this class, click this link or email weslockfaw@christchurcheaston.org.
There is no required text for this course, but study guides will be sent to each participant.

Advent Offerings
December Wisdom Circle
Seeing the Word: Illuminating Advent
Mondays, November 30-December 21
6:30-7:30 pm via Zoom
Join us for this contemplative prayer practice using illuminations from the Saint John’s Bible. These images bring to life passages from Scripture, helping us to engage with the Word, encounter the Divine, and enact the Message in our daily lives.
Advent honors the time of waiting for the arrival of the Christ child. We will gather each week in hope, peace, joy and love to meet the Messiah who is – and is yet to come – through guided reflections. As we open "the eyes of our heart" (visio divina) and “the ears of our heart” (lectio divina), we discover what the Word means to us and what the Holy Spirit is calling us to do in the world today.
Please register by next Monday, November 23.
Advent Quiet Day:
Blessed by the Wisdom of Mary

During this Advent Quiet Day our time together will be spent in prayer, reflection, journaling, and conversation. We will meet in the sanctuary of St. Paul's Episcopal Church at the Retreat House at Hillsboro.

‘You can’t just jump to hope’: Episcopal Presiding Bishop Michael Curry on healing after the election
Curry spoke to Religion News Service about what divides the United States, what people of faith can do to help bridge those divisions and why he believes healing is possible.
The weekend before Election Day, Bishop Michael Curry, presiding bishop of the Episcopal Church, led an interfaith prayer service livestreamed from Washington National Cathedral in the nation’s capital.
It was All Saints’ Day, and there were prayers for the 200,000-plus Americans who have died from COVID-19. Their deaths are among a number of things Curry believes Americans need to grieve.
That’s the first step to hope and healing, he said.
“You can’t just jump to hope,” the presiding bishop said afterward. “There’s a process you have to go through. There are no shortcuts to it.”
Curry spoke to Religion News Service in the days between Election Day and the projection of a Joe Biden win. The presiding bishop shared his thoughts about what divides the United States, what people of faith can do to help bridge those divisions and why he believes healing is ultimately possible.

National Cathedral hosts forum on COVID-19 with Fauci, other top health officials Beneath the neo-Gothic arches of Washington National Cathedral, Dr. Anthony Fauci mulled over the question everyone is asking: Should families gather for Thanksgiving during the coronavirus pandemic?
“I think every family unit needs to do a risk assessment,” said the director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases at a Nov. 12 forum.
He said families should consider factors such as the age, underlying conditions, travel, testing and quarantining of people who wish to dine together on the holiday.
“You may want to make a decision that you’re just going to forestall it — now whenever I say that I’m the grinch that stole Thanksgiving,” he said. “I’m not saying that. I’m saying everyone needs to seriously think about the risk-benefit” ratio. Read more here.

Global Anglican leaders call for ‘equitable’ Covid-19 vaccine roll-out to world’s vulnerable The primates of the Anglican Communion have called for potential Covid-19 vaccines to be made available to the world’s poorest people. They made their call after an online meeting last week (Nov. 5-6) at which they were briefed by representatives of the World Health Organization.
The Primates’ Meeting is one of four “Instruments of Communion” in the worldwide Anglican Communion, and brings together the senior archbishops and bishops of the 41 member churches. It usually meets every couple of years and last met in-person in January. Last week’s online meeting was called to address the global health emergency. Representatives from 37 of the 41 member churches took part in last week’s meeting.
“Epidemics are about communities. Communities stop epidemics,” the WHO’s Executive Director for Health Emergencies Preparedness & Response, Dr. Mike Ryan. “For this reason, we are eager to work with faith leaders to build solidarity and uphold social justice-enabling you to speak to communities in a credible and understandable way.”
