On Sunday, October 5, the Episcopal Community Foundation for Middle and North Georgia will lead an informational session on the spiritual and material importance of supporting the poor and oppressed through legacy giving. Join us at 9:15AM in Parish Hall to learn how Episcopalians in our parish and around the Diocese are caring for the least among us as well as providing ongoing sustainability for St. Gregory's for many years to come. 

Many in our Diocese are familiar with the grants that ECF provides to parishes and their nonprofit partners. At this presentation, we will have a chance to learn more about how ECF is able to not only continue this work, but also help St. Gregory's continue our good work in the future through legacy giving, which includes bequests, gifts of assets and appreciated securities, gifts from tax-deferred funds such as IRAs, life income gifts, and more. 

Everyone needs an estate strategy, and estates of every size can make a lasting contribution to help the church continue loving like Jesus.

Athens area faith organizations have joined together to host a March of Faith in Resistance to Mass Deportation on Sunday, September 21st. Marchers will gather at 595 Prince Avenue (across the street from the School District) at 2 pm and, at around 2:30, march to the federal courthouse (downtown post office) where brief remarks will be given, and then march back to the starting point.

“Religious leaders will speak on moral calls to support immigrant neighbors, to oppose mass deportation, and to end family separation,” commented Rev. Dr. Pippin Whitaker, minister of the Unitarian Universalist Fellowship of Athens and co-chair of the Interfaith Clergy Partnership of Greater Athens (ICPGA), which voted unanimously to cosponsor and participate in the march.

“This is not a political event, it is an expression of our faith,” said Greg Davis, chair of the Interfaith Sanctuary Coalition (ISC), cosponsor of the march. “We are called to stand in moral opposition to the repression and intimidation of our immigrant friends and neighbors.”
