SUBCOMMITTEE
Charged with establishing procedures and guidelines
to follow when granting funds for community social ministry efforts, this committee
annually considers grant applications and distributes monies. Dollars are allocated
from endowment funds and from the CHC operating budget. EPISCOPAL
RELIEF AND DEVELOPMENT
Some of you may be more familiar with this
organization’s previous name, the Bishops Relief Fund. Episcopal
Relief and Development is the collective response of Episcopalians to help
people in need in the United States and around the world. It works with churches
in the Anglican Communion as well as with other denominations, local organizations,
and partner agencies. It sends emergency relief in time of natural disasters and
man-made catastrophes (wars and civil unrest). It also provides long-term assistance
for ongoing programs worldwide. FINANCE
SUBCOMMITTEE
This committee provides a regular financial analysis
of the Holy Communion social ministry and is also developing a financial plan
for expanding social ministries by exploring possible funding sources and alternatives. HUNGER
COMMITTEE
Each parishioner of Church of the Holy Communion has
an active part to play in ministering to the thousands of fellow Memphians who
are hungry. Members of the Hunger Committee give hands-on service by working at
the University Cluster Food Pantry located at St. Luke's Methodist Church. In
recent years the Hunger Committee has sponsored a hunger drive during the month
of June. Dollars raised benefit MIFA Meals, the St. Luke's Food Pantry, the Food
Bank, and the Emmanuel Episcopal Center Breakfast Program. A special 50th Anniversary
cookbook is available from the church office; proceeds benefit hunger programs. UNIVERSITY
