Epiphany Ingathering for Lunjine School
We invite everyone in the Christ Church Cathedral community to support the Lunjine Primary School, in Luitown, Southern Sudan. At this critical time of increased violence in Southern Sudan, we ask your prayerful consideration throughout Epiphany in support of the 550 children served by this school. Your faithful willingness to make donations the past two Epiphanies brought significant help for children, teachers and buildings at Lunjine School.
Join again in support of the children of Lui with your gift and your prayers.
We are collecting checks from now through Feb. 21, the first Sunday in Lent. Please make out your check to the
Episcopal Diocese of Missouri, with
Lui–Lunjine School in the memo line. You can place the check in the offering plate at Sunday services or mail it to Diocese of Missouri, Offices of the Bishop, 1210 Locust Street, Saint Louis, MO 63103-2322.
