You can support the Acts 8 Moment

The Acts 8 Moment is all about proclaiming resurrection in the Episcopal Church. Toward that end, your prayer for the Episcopal Church and the Acts 8 Moment is essential.

Please note: we have not set up a 501 (c) 3 at present, so your gift will not be tax deductible. However, we will gladly supply a full accounting for all funds received and spent upon request.
