Anglican Diocese of the Great Lakes
To bless. To heal. To serve.
GIVE TO THE FLOURISH FUND THIS GIVING TUESDAY
“And they all ate and were satisfied. And they took up twelve baskets full of the broken pieces left over.” (Matthew 14:20 ESV)
When Jesus fed the 5,000, he offered a blessing of thanks and multiplied the meager supplies so that everyone was satisfied, and there was even an abundance left over. Does this scripture strike you anew after enjoying a Thanksgiving feast with family and friends? While we can be tempted to worry about scarcity, God blesses us with abundance and there is more than enough left over.
For this Giving Tuesday, let us all follow the disciples’ pattern and symbolically gather up the broken pieces, crumbs, and leftovers from our feasts by making a contribution to Flourish Fund of the Anglican Diocese of the Great Lakes so that we can again witness how great the power of God is and how richly he has blessed us.
In Thanksgiving to the Lord, would you donate today to the Flourish Fund? Your donation of $50, $100, $250, or even more directly supports Kingdom ministry.
The goal of the Flourish Fund is to raise $1,000,000 over the next three years to plant and revitalize churches and raise up the next generation of clergy and leaders through curacies in the Anglican Diocese of the Great Lakes. You can learn more and make a gift on our Flourish webpage.
ACNA Installs New Archbishop, The Most Reverend Steve Wood
In a service marked by pageantry, prayers, and celebratory bagpipes, the Anglican Church in North America (ACNA) received its new Archbishop and Primate on October 30. Hosted at the Mount Pleasant, South Carolina, campus of Seacoast, a nondenominational megachurch, the gathering drew together clergy, bishops, and laity from across the denomination, as well as global Anglican and ecumenical visitors.
The Most Rev. Steve Wood, elected to a five-year term in office by the denomination’s College of Bishops on June 22, became archbishop at the conclusion of the ACNA Provincial Assembly later that week in Latrobe, Pennsylvania.
Who We Are
Our mission is to extend the Kingdom of God by so presenting Jesus Christ in the power of the Holy Spirit that people everywhere will come to put their trust in God through him, know him as Savior and serve him as Lord in the fellowship of the Church. Recognizing that God’s mission for his Church is best accomplished within the local congregation, this Diocese exists to equip each of its member congregations to reconcile the world to Christ, plant new congregations, and “make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the Name of the Father, and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything (Jesus) commanded.” (Matthew 28:19-20)
