Help is on the way!!!

Here are two pieces of good news in the aftermath of Hurricane Ike:

The congregation of Galveston's Trinity Church will worship this Sunday, September 28, at St. George's Church, Texas City, at 9:00 a.m..  Following worship, we will gather in the parish hall to talk to one another and determine who has needs and who has resources to help.  If you are in or near Galveston, please be there.  We need to see and support each other so we will remember that we, and not the building, are the Church!  Please spread the word.

The Diocese of Texas, Church Insurance Co., and Episcopal Relief and Development are rapidly putting measures in place to facilitate assistance on several levels.  As you already know, remediation crews are working at Trinity and other locations that were hard hit.  Supplemental funds to help our congregations cover payroll and other necessities are being transferred electronically to our accounts.  Details regarding what we need to do to host teams of workers will be discussed tomorrow at 10:00 a.m. in a meeting at St. Thomas the Apostle, Nassau Bay, for clergy and members of our congregations.
