ORDINATION GIFTS FOR BISHOP-ELECT RUTH WOODLIFF-STANLEY As we prepare to welcome our Bishop-elect Ruth Woodliff-Stanley, the Transition Committee invites people from across the diocese to offer gifts in support of her ministry. It is the Episcopal Church’s tradition to contribute toward a bishop-elect’s vestments and other symbols of the Office of Bishop: stoles, cloaks, mitre, crosier, ring, pectoral cross and other liturgical items. Checks may be sent to the diocesan office at the following address: PO Box 20485, Charleston, SC 29413. Checks should be addressed to The Episcopal Church in South Carolina/The Episcopal Church in SC and note on the memo line that the check is for the "bishop gift." Any amounts received will be added to a larger diocesan gift. Questions about gifts may be directed to the Transition/Standing Committee members who are serving as gift coordinators: the Rev. Jim Dannals ([email protected]) and Mary Dianish ([email protected]). Fellowship has returned! We would love to have volunteers provide treats after the 10:30 service on Sunday mornings. All you need to do is sign up at the back of the church. And keep an eye out for a Save the Date announcement for Deviled Egg Sunday!
