Cash in the Plate
The Cash in the Plate for Sunday, April 17 will go to Episcopal Diocese of Kondoa
The Diocese of Kondoa, one of our sister dioceses, serves the people of Kondoa, Tanzania. Bishop Given Gaula has welcomed our Good Samaritans with open arms when we have sojourned to his country, and has taught us much about what we have in common with our Anglican Christian brothers and sisters whose lives are so different from ours. The Diocese is adding more members and building schools and churches to minister to those in the poorest part of a poor country. On this Easter Sunday as we sing praises to the Risen Lord, may we remember Bishop Given's words: Love God, Live God and Give God.
You can make an online cash plate gift to the cash in the plate on the Good Sam online giving page. There is an option on the giving page to give to the "Cash in Plate". As always, you may also send a check to Good Samaritan. (Please designate that it is for "Kondoa" in the memo line).
