 Acting on Faith, Rebuilding Lives
The annual Episcopal Community Service Campaign will begin on Sunday, February 21 and continue through April 11, 2010.
In light of the current economy, the 14 agencies supported by ECS are experiencing a greater demand for their services.
In his campaign letter to the diocese, Bishop J. Michael Garrison wrote, "This year's annual campaign focuses on the extreme tragedy people are facing, and the massive assistance required of ECS to adequately assist our communities. Think what it would take to rebuild your life, reignite your faith, and bring back your peace of mind."
All members of the diocese are encouraged to be as generous as possible when responding to this year's ECS campaign.

No
one likes to think of a child going hungry. Thanks to Trinity Episcopal
Church in Warsaw, with the help of an ECS Special Grant and other area
churches, it is less of a concern now in the Warsaw community than it
once was. Today, children at risk for hunger leave school on Fridays
with Snackpaks, special backpacks stuffed with nutritious, kid-friendly
food for the weekend.
