The Diocese of Central Florida will hold its Annual Meeting on Sat Oct 23rd at 10 am via zoom. The meeting ID is 832 521 9172 . The passcode is 222473.
We opened with prayer and the National ECW Song. Throughout the evening we learned so much about each other during a fun ice breaker. We tentatively listened to a presentation of the past 150 years of ECW, presented by Barbara Taylor, Historian for the Diocesan ECW and then Rev. Pauline Samuel (Rector – St. John’s Church, Springfield Gardens) who presented her views for the future of ECW.
We played frame games brain teasers, and a few games of Bingo. Our young ladies who have been attending our ECW meetings over the past four years, performed a wonderful liturgical dance to the music of Kirk Franklin’s “He reigns/Awesome God”. It was an evening of fun and relaxation, giving God thanks for his many blessings through this surging pandemic.

South Sudanese refugees find home, and church, in Syracuse
The Denver Gazette – East Syracuse, NY
On the corner of East Avenue and West Yates Street in East Syracuse, New York, sits Emmanuel Episcopal Church. The quaint building, with its bright white exterior and cherry red doors, is the home to not one, but two distinct congregations. The first, a modest parish of 25 Americans, meets early on Sunday morning, and the other, a group of South Sudanese refugees, in the midafternoon.

Their success has been fostered by the Episcopal Diocese of Central New York and a local interfaith resettlement agency that found them a place to hold services and supported their integration into the community.
