In an effort to demonstrate that “what hate burns, love rebuilds,” Christ Church Cathedral (Episcopal) in St. Louis has established a “Rebuild the Churches” fund to support churches targeted by arsonists last month.

Bishop Alan M. Gates and Bishop Gayle E. Harris invite congregations and individuals in the Diocese of Massachusetts to consider gathering support for the effort. Funds raised will be evenly distributed amongst four predominantly black churches that were destroyed last month.

We will receive an offering on Sunday, July 26th. You can also send donations to the church office, with checks made out to St. John’s, and “Rebuild The Churches” in the memo line.
