Cooking with Grace
proceeds to support:
St. Andrew’s School
founded in 1894
The mission of the school is to educate children of
limited resources through a balanced academic, social and spiritual
experience shaped by the Episcopal tradition and inspired by
Christian faith. Our donations will help defray the cost of tuition
which is free to the students that attend St. Andrew’s School.
Dominican Republic –
Partnership
Bishop Gray and his wife Karen, led several board
members from the Episcopal Church Women to the DR on their first mission trip.
The travel team witnessed a magnitude of poverty, however, the people’s hearts
were strong with trust and faith in the Lord. From this experience a partnership has been formed
with the Diocese of the DR under the direction of Bishop Holguin. Education is
one of the major areas of social action of the Dominican Episcopal Church which
has had a long tradition of support and involvement with elementary and
secondary education. Our donations would help support a child to be educated in
a private Episcopal School for $250 per year.
Transitional Home - An
Ecumenical Partnership to provide faith, home and future for women at risk after
incarceration.
The women of the Diocese of Virginia and the
Daughters of Zelophehad have come together ecumenically to support a home
for our sisters coming out of prison to transition them into everyday life.
This home will provide women transitional housing and spiritual support along
with job and life skills training. Its purpose is to empower women to move from
poverty to economic self sufficiency, independence and responsibility. Our
financial help would go towards this ongoing project.
