Support, Gifts, & Kindness

Sorry that I have been a little MIA on the blog. Once things start happening and I am on the ground, I will be more consistent with posting. I have felt that I have had nothing to write or update you about. And still don't have any more information or an update on my placement, but I do have an update on fundraising.

THANK YOU! 

Overwhelmed, excited, appreciative, humbled, and simply thankful is how I feel by the notes and donations I have received! I sent out letters to churches and priests around the diocese simply hoping for an invitation to come talk more face to face, maybe have the opportunity to present at a few adult forums or in front of mission committees. I did not expect to be receiving generous checks in the mail by writing an email! 

As you can see on the Fundraising Thermometer to the right, I already have raised over $7,000!

I am excited and happy to call the following supporters, partners in my mission and YASC journey! I greatly appreciate your support, gifts, generosity and kindness.

On top of that I have greatly enjoyed having the opportunity to share about my journey with YASC in person at region meetings and at parishes! This past Sunday, I had the privilege to be invited to preach at Christ Church, Millwood or Cunningham Parish. It was a beautiful morning and lovely, welcoming people attend the church! I felt fortunate that they offered all loose plate offerings to me and their support through prayer!

Thanks again to the Rev. Karin and Christ Church! And I look forward to preaching at my home church, St. James', Leesburg, next Sunday.
