LENTEN ALMSGIVING: LIVE LENT WITH LOVE

Each Lent, our parish Outreach Committee selects an almsgiving effort for us to support as a church family. Almsgiving is the act of giving of one’s wealth for the benefit of others and is an integral part of a traditional observance of Lent. For years, the St. Mary’s community have chosen a single focus to pour into together each Lent.

This year, we have chosen to come alongside Backpack Buddies of Lenoir County which provides food for students to take home on Fridays to sustain them until then next Monday’s school meal. 

There are multiple ways that you may give to this Lenten practice:

• Place your offering in the basket in Moseley Hall during Wednesday night suppers.
• Place your offering in the basket in the Narthex on during Sunday morning worship.
• Bring your offering to the church office during business hours.
• Give online by clicking here. Be sure to write “Lenten Almsgiving” in the memo section.  

Checks may be made out to St. Mary’s Episcopal Church with "Lenten Almsgiving/Backback Buddies of Lenoir County" in the memo line. God bless you!
