Wow! I know that the Episcopal Church in the Upper Nile, Diocese of Bor will be overwhelmed by the generosity of all of you at St. Augustine's. This is going to make such a difference to the Rev. Mark Atem Thuc, Rural Dean of that region with 15 villages and their clergy to minister to. You are going to help them make an evolutionary jump forward. Thank you, on their behalf.

Editor's Note: See "Join Me" from last month's Ebb & Flow on the website for more information about this project. Grant was taken from outreach funds raised by STUFF, the Parish Thrift & Gift Store, which closed last fall after five successful years.
