Generous Response to Bishop’s Easter Appeal Drives Critical Ministries

We are Easter people, bearing the promise that no grief, no conflict, nothing is beyond the liberating power of God.

As we prepare to turn from our joyful Alleluias to the daily work of making the Good News known in Pentecost, we are grateful to everyone across the diocese who has responded with generosity to the Bishop’s Easter Appeal. Your financial gifts allow our congregations and ministries to carry the Good News to our neighbors every day by investing in:

• Our Mission Real Estate program, which is helping over a dozen congregations discern how to follow in the footsteps of St. Luke’s Episcopal Church to meet the needs of their neighborhoods;
• The pilot of our Consortium for Congregational Vitality, which helped three congregations build the tools to live more deeply into God’s mission in their communities; and
• The first year of Comunidad de Luz, where women and children stranded in our border region can find a path of empowerment toward an independent, dignified, and self-sufficient life in Tijuana.

Behind every one of these ministries are real people and real stories of transformation. They are congregations imagining new ways to welcome their neighbors. They are church leaders learning how to share the story of Jesus with greater clarity and confidence. They are families at the border discovering safety, stability, and hope after seasons of uncertainty and fear. Your generosity becomes part of those stories. It becomes meals shared, relationships built, prayers offered, and communities strengthened in the name of Christ.

This work is possible because the Diocese responds together. Across congregations large and small, Episcopalians throughout our region continue to demonstrate what courageous love looks like in action. In a world often shaped by division, scarcity, and exhaustion, your gifts proclaim that resurrection hope is alive and that the Church has Good News worth sharing. Thank you for helping make that witness possible.

If you haven’t done so yet, please make a gift now to join others from across the Diocese in responding to the needs of our neighbors and joyfully celebrating the work of The Church.
