The ACW will embarked on a 2 weekend trip to open and re-open a parish this coming week of July 15-17 & 22-29 First we travel to Louisville Kentucky to reopen our parish which has suffered greatly because of the pandemic, then the following weekend we shall travel to Jefferson City Indiana to open new doors not unfamiliar to us who are in bible study formation to full parish status, further visitation to New Mexico, Nashville Tennessee & Oklahoma are planned for the coming weeks
We are mindful the pandemic has caused much distress but we shall observe all observances of full social distancing.
We are also please that our afflation in New Zealand and Australia are springing back to life as their respective countries are slowly reopening
Since Synod 2020 could not take place serveral ordinations were put on hold. However with the easing of restriction we are in the process of committing to the 9 ordinations planned 1 bishop, 5. Deacons &3 priest in and around the USA, information and their dates of ordination will be published after all vetting is completed and proper ordination services can be planned. All clergy ordinations will be within their congregations where family and friends can worship & fellowship
The ACW at this time has suspended all application to holy orders until verification can be done on their vita
We ask your prayers and support as we slowly remerge from the dark days of the pandemic and we continue our journey “Reaching out to the world”
Have a blest week
