Bishop Skip Adams has joined the five other Episcopal Bishops of North and South Carolina in asking people to offer their assistance after Hurricane Florence through gifts to Episcopal Relief & Development. In the letter, the bishops appeal to people not to travel to the area to help at this time.

Those who wish to offer themselves as volunteers can sign up at the  Ready to Serve  page. Episcopal Relief & Development will need volunteers later, and this form helps the organization keep track of offers to help

A Prayer For This Week
In Thanksgiving

In the midst of illness, God, I pause to give you thanks: for the glory of creation, which reveals in many forms your matchless beauty; for the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus our Savior; for your gift of my life and the presence of the Holy Spirit; for loved ones who care for me; and for the companionship of the Church. I thank you, blessed Trinity, holy God, for the gifts which sustain me in my time of need. Amen.
