Dear Fellow Christians,

Linda Brown from St. Augustine’s Church in Chico, CA has gifted a gorgeous quilt she created to be raffled so you and a few other continuing church parishes can raise money to donate to a charitable cause of your church’s choice. The other women at St. Augustine’s also send their blessings and encouragement that this special quilt will prayerfully connect those of us across the country who cannot meet in person to unite in love for those in our communities who are in need of help and support.

Linda’s vision is for you to help a woman in need in your local community, but she has told me that she would like each parish to choose whom you will help based on what you think would be best in your community. Even if someone from another parish wins the raffle, your own local cause will benefit because ALL monies collected from your church will be kept in your own parish for you to distribute.

In a lower corner of the quilt (on the back) Linda has attached the embroidered praise and prayer cross and message, He is Risen - Walking with God Together - Jesus I Trust in You. Linda has put much prayer and love into this professionally sewn quilt, and whoever ends up with it will have a beautiful daily reminder that we are sacramentally connected to each other through Our Lord, our Faith, and His presence with us in both time and eternity.

Quilts have a unique artistic and expressive significance and history in America, so it seems fitting that this should continue in our Anglican parishes as an expression and furthering of the love of Our Lord for those he created and loves.

Tickets are $5.00 per ticket or 5 tickets for $20.00
Please prayerfully consider buying as many tickets as you feel led to buy in support of your worthy cause and in dedication to our future fellowship and connection with others who share our desire to further the belief that by loving and helping others, we are furthering Our Lord’s mission to love our neighbors as ourselves.
