LADY SPEED
STICK WOMEN’S HALF MARATHON
This
Sunday morning, November 20th, is the Women’s 5K Race. The race
route will use
22nd Ave. N., the Snell Isle Bridge, 1st Street up to 34th
Ave. N.
Remember to use 4th
Street to 38th/40th Ave. N. through Shore Acres
entrance
to get to the church.
One of
the principles of a faith community is helping others in a time of need.
The second commandment is, “love thy neighbor as thyself.” To this end,
we are called to be generous in aiding our brothers and sisters that were
victims of Hurricane Sandy. The “Episcopal Relief and Development
Sandy Response Fund” is focused on providing rapid response to assist in
putting neighborhoods back together so people can get on with their
lives. In the past, we have experienced the massive damage that
Hurricanes Katrina and Charlie brought and know the disruption, frustration,
and hopelessness these disasters bring. Saint Thomas sent teams to assist
victims after Katrina in New Orleans. While this is a noble and
satisfying experience, in this situation, it is impractical.
Our outreach in this emergency is providing funds for response and rehabilitation; this is the most efficient way to help. Please pray for the victims that they are provided with all that is necessary and that they are treated respectfully. Your donations will help them get back on their feet. Funds will be received through November 31st; make your check out to Saint Thomas with a note that it is for the Episcopal Relief and Development Sandy Response Fund. We appreciate your consideration for this appeal. Thank you.
Sincerely,
Walt
