Mission Trip to South Africa
A delegation of eleven people from six of our parishes will be traveling on pilgrimage in February to visit the parishes and schools of the Anglican Church of Southern Africa. They will deliver English dictionaries to children in schools in Swaziland and solar lamps to families who have no electrical power to enable their children to do evening homework. Follow the pilgrims on their journey through South Africa by liking the SAPC Facebook page.
The pilgrims and SAPC invite a $10 donation to buy two dictionaries and/or a $20 donation to buy two solar lamps. Checks may be written to the Episcopal Diocese of Washington and sent to attention of Cheryl Daves Wilburn, Episcopal Church House, Mount Saint Alban, Washington, D.C. 20016, or dropped off with the Southern Africa Partnership Committee booth at the Diocesan Convention on Saturday, January 28.
