The Latest Updates

Good Friday Offering

For 103 years, congregations throughout The Episcopal Church have dedicated offerings made on Good Friday to support the Episcopal Church in Jerusalem and the Middle East. As stated in our Presiding Bishop’s letter, “This Lent, the need is almost unfathomable… It is easy to feel powerless in the face of the human suffering we have witnessed in the Holy Land, but with a gift to the Good Friday Offering at iam.ec/goodfridayoffering, we can help The Episcopal Church in Jerusalem and the Middle East turn despair into hope for thousands of God’s people across their region.” Click here for more information about donating to the Good Friday Offering (and the ministries being supported) and streaming the online benefit concert.

Mission Trips/Pilgrimages 2025

Are you or members of your parish travelling abroad to support partners in mission in 2025? Let us know when and where! As Christians, we are called to serve together, as a body with many parts.  As a Diocese, we can uphold each other in prayer, share resources, broaden connections and take part in the sharing of God’s love. We may not all have the opportunity to travel but can accompany others in prayer. Thank you for sharing your recent or upcoming journeys.
