Have a very Merry and Blessed Christmas.

Episcopal Relief and Development
As you are looking over your Christmas list this year, consider gifting a family in need with a life-giving gift that could transform their lives. You can give a family a chicken, cow, or pig, or help a community have clean water- and you can give the gift in the name of a family member or friend. Check out
