Dear Redeemer Faithful,

As we approach Easter, we are reminded of the power of the Resurrection and the call to reach out to those in need. Our annual Easter offering has traditionally supported local Christian outreach, addressing the considerable needs here in Greater Boston. Our Strategic Ministries Committee continues to reflect on these needs, considering our partners in ministry across the Commonwealth and beyond.             

This Easter, however, we are called to extend our generosity once again to those suffering from the aftermath of natural disasters, this time in the Episcopal Diocese of Los Angeles. The wildfires that devastated the region left many without homes, including clergy whose lives and possessions were completely destroyed. In addition, St. Mark’s Church in Altadena was completely consumed by the flames.                     

In the spirit of Easter hope, we invite you to contribute to the rebuilding efforts for St. Mark’s and to assist clergy who are now homeless. Your support will provide immediate relief and help lay the foundation for long-term restoration.

We ask that you give generously this Easter, as Episcopalians across the nation rally to support our sisters and brothers in Los Angeles. Let us pray that the light of Christ shines brightly in these communities, bringing comfort and restoration in the face of overwhelming loss. Please make your check payable to 'Church of the Redeemer' with 'Easter Offering' in the memo. Checks can be mailed to Church of the Redeemer, 379 Hammond St., Chestnut Hill, MA 02467

In Easter Hope,

Mike+, Karla, Maisie, and Dan
