2018 Annual Giving Resources
Welcome to annual giving ministries in the Episcopal Diocese of Virginia – we are so glad you’re here!
This year The Diocese of Virginia is excited to provide our third set of resources that connects churches more deeply with one another, whether around the corner or across the Commonwealth.
Based on the post-communion prayer on pg. 365 of the Book of Common Prayer, Walk in Love invites congregations to reflect on the many worlds of ministry at our churches and the urgency … the now … with which Jesus Christ calls us.
These ministries can be outside the church walls, where many consider the “world” to be. They can be calls inside the church walls to the world of the altar guild, the world of scripture study, or the world of liturgy. They can also be urgent calls to move with God more deeply into our own worlds of grief, parenting, elder care, or loneliness. Wherever members find themselves, this program meets them there and invites them deeper into their own worlds of ministry, and deeper into the generous people they already are.
