last sunday offering
At St. Andrew's the loose plate offerings on the last Sunday of each month are given to an organization chosen by our Outreach Committee. Donations for the Last Sunday Offering can also be made through our Giving Online page or sent directly to the office. Donations are matched by anonymous donors.
July Offering: The Episcopal Church in Navajoland. Buildings throughout the large diocese need work to make them suitable for current needs. In Bluff two immediate needs are a new floor in the dining area to make it less hazardous to diners, and exterior siding for the church to protect from wind and rain. Please keep Navajoland in your hearts and prayers. Her people have endured years of neglect and abuse. The Episcopal clergy there have the lowest salary of all in our denomination in the U.S. (Only Haiti, Honduras and Cuba are lower.) Only by a special act of Executive Council have they, this year, been granted the same health care benefits as other U.S. Episcopal clergy. Our support says that we care. And, it makes a difference!
And note: The Episcopal Church in Navajoland was made a Missionary Diocese of The Episcopal Church at the recent General Convention.
