Recent News Episcopal News Service Crazy Chili Farm’s sales, members’ donations scale-up Arizona church’s outreach efforts February 12, 2020 Episcopal News Service Like many Episcopal churches nationwide, Mesa’s Church of the Transfiguration engages in outreach, donating money to organizations that address food insecurity, provide educational assistance, support to women and children fleeing abusive situations and offer other essential social services. In 2006, responding to food insecurity in its own neighborhood where within a 5- or 6-mile radius 35,000 people live at or below the federal poverty line, rather than open a food pantry or run a soup kitchen, church members began collecting spare change in cups labeled “A Million Meals for Our Neighbors.” By consolidating members’ coins and making donations to existing feeding programs, Transfiguration has provided 1.4 million meals for its neighbors. “We do that by making grants to the agencies in our own neighborhood, like soup kitchens and box distribution programs, and when we can, we cover their bill with United Food Bank,” said Bill Robinson, a Transfiguration member. “By paying the food distribution agency rate, we pay a gross weighted average of about five cents a pound, regardless of the value of the food; it could be T-bone steak and it would be five cents a pound.” More Presiding Bishop Michael Curry’s Christmas message 2019 The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness cannot overcome it December 25, 2019 Episcopal News Service “The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness cannot overcome it,” Episcopal Church Presiding Bishop and Primate Michael Curry said in his Christmas Message 2019.
