MISSION OF THE MONTH:
We know that several of you join us for worship via Facebook. We are so very happy that you do. I know that distance makes it challenging to participate in our other activities. This month you have an opportunity to participate in our Mission of the Month.
If you choose to: Our May Mission of the Month is the Tarrant Area Food Bank.
You have heard during announcement time, what they are facing. Instead of things people need, our efforts this month are to raise funds. You may send your donation/check made out to Church of the Resurrection (with “food bank” on the memo line), P.O. Box 22, Decatur, TX 76234.
As always, there is no obligation, only as the Holy Spirit, and your pocketbook, are able to.
Thank you

JUNE 18, 2022: The Episcopal Church in North Texas, (ECNTX) formerly the Episcopal Diocese of Fort Worth, today voted overwhelmingly to reunite with the Episcopal Diocese of Texas (EDOT). The vote was the sole business of a Special Meeting of Diocesan Convention at Trinity Episcopal Church, Fort Worth. The vote was unanimous for reuniting with the Diocese of Texas – 69 to 0.
This action follows the June 9, 2022, reconvening of the 173rd Council of the Episcopal Diocese of Texas that also overwhelmingly voted to reunite with The Episcopal Church of North Texas: 526-14. The purpose of the reconvening was expressly to vote on two resolutions: the first being, reuniting with the Episcopal Church in North Texas, and the other, authorizing a Bishop Assistant.
Bishop Scott Mayer said in his sermon at the Opening Worship of the Special Meeting, “This event today is not about closure. It’s an outward visible sign of faith, hope, and love by a liberated people.”
