FIA NEEDS YOU

Faith in Action (also called FIA and formerly known as the Missions Committee) is looking for more helping hands. As you may know, our Faith in Action is divided in four pillars: justice/equity, earthlove, diocese, and feeding/caring. Each pillar is looking for folx who are interested in getting involved. The time commitment is relatively low, so it's a great position for those of us with very little free time. Contact Jerre Birdsong or Katie Gregston to express interest.

RISE AGAINST HUNGER

Last year, we hosted our first RAH event, packaging 14,256 meals. Those meals were shipped to Madagascar; check out this link! On April 30, we will host our second event. Our goal is to package 14,000 meals, but to do this we need your help. We need 60-70 volunteers and request your donations to help defray the $5,900 cost of the food we’ll be packaging. Please note that you can double the value of your donation as an anonymous donor has pledged to match parish donations up to $1000! Please click this link to donate or volunteer for this amazing, family-friendly event! Childcare and light lunch will be

provided!

EASTER EGGS EVERYWHERE
