Lent Almsgiving

You are invited to make an offering as part of your Lenten practice. Our Lenten Almsgiving Weekends are March 18-19 and 25-26.  Your offerings will equally benefit the Episcopal Community Services of the Diocese of New Jersey (ECS-NJ) and Episcopal Relief & Development. From the Book of Common Prayer: Christians are invited “to the observance of a holy Lent, by self-examination and repentance; by prayer, fasting, and self-denial; and by reading and meditating on God's holy Word” (BCP, p. 265). Each of you must give as you have made up your mind, not regretfully or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver. (2 Corinthians 9: 7)
