The retiring collection on Good Friday traditionally goes to support the Church in Jerusalem and the Middle East as a tangible connection between Christians in the Episcopal Church and the Christians throughout the Province of Jerusalem and the Middle East who welcome our prayers, advocacy and financial support for their ministries of education, health care, pastoral care and hospitality. If you are not coming to the service, but would like to donate to this cause, you can also transfer an amount to the church, please just write “GFO” in the reference field of your transfer form.
