Let's begin with some words from our Sr. Warden, Linda Myers: "I thought that the congregation would like to know that the Vestry selected two recipients this year to receive the 2021 Non-Designated donations. Each year any contributions that are not specifically designated i.e. pledges, memorial gifts; specific gift go into a "non-designated" fund and the Vestry is responsible for awarding it to an appropriate recipient/recipients). We voted to divide the $2400 between two: the Burnet County Child Welfare Board and the Episcopal Relief and Development specifically for Ukrainian refugees in Europe. Each will receive $1200. We specifically wanted to encourage work to help children and give relief to those in desperate need. It is wonderful to see us extending Christ's work in the world and I am grateful to our Epiphany family for making this possible. Linda"
WOW----thank ALL of you.
