It is a privilege to represent our Outreach ministry, which provides help to so many in our community and beyond, on Vestry. Thank you so much, Carly Landis, for your outstanding leadership, and to those who serve on the Outreach Committee. And thank you to all whom have donated time, talent, and treasure to those in need.
Our emphasis has been on supporting local organizations, with whom we are able to establish a personal connection, while also contributing to organizations beyond our local community. We will continue to invite representatives of our local charities to visit and speak to us about their work, with a frequency of about once per quarter. Organizations that we partner with include:
Coventry Food Pantry
Atkinson Center
Phoenixville Free Clinic
Good Samaritan Services
Thistle Hills
Seamen’s Institute
Coatesville Backpack Program
Episcopal Relief and Development
St. James School
Chester County Food Bank
UNICEF
Guatemala Sisters Missions
A special thank you to our Youth Ministry for a very successful Souper Bowl of Caring event, which raised over $300 cash and many canned soups for the Coventry Food Pantry. Of course, this was followed a week later by a most successful Super Bowl in New Orleans!
