FALL CONFERENCE RAFFLE

Who wants to win these?

At Fall Conference we will be raffling a few items to raise money for our ACTS2 ECW Pledge.
Please take a look at some of the beautiful items that have been donated for our raffle.

It is with great pleasure that I share with you the three items which will be raffled off at the Annual Fall Conference in Anniston, October 8-9, to help complete our ECW ACTS2 Pledge.  I know you will be as pleased as I am that not only are the works of art created by women of our Diocese, but the women are all from our Fall Conference host, the Cheaha Convocation.  As you know, that pledge is to raise $65,000 toward the sacristy at the new St. Francis Chapel at Camp McDowell.  It just so happens that Jane Wood of Grace Church in Anniston has written a beautiful 10”x11.5” Byzantine icon of St. Francis of Assisi and she has donated her work to the ACTS2 raffle.  Some would say this was a coincidence, but we all know it was God’s doing.  Linda Cortes of St. Michael and All Angels in Anniston has created a very colorful 61”x 71” patchwork quilt for our raffle, and Cindy Burch of St. Luke’s in Jacksonville has created out of cement a beautiful wine chiller with a leaf design that comes with a stand to measure 30” high.  As you can see, we are honored to have such a unique grouping of art that will be sure to please everyone.  The raffle items will be displayed throughout the conference and the drawing will be Friday morning before the Eucharist.  You must not be present to win.  Looking forward to seeing you in Anniston and let us all support our ECW.                                                                                                                               Blessings,  Dee Buzby
