Gifts include:

  •                Celebration Mitre and Cope

  •                Purple Cassock
  •                Other celebration vestments
  •                Vestment luggage

The Bishop’s ring is a gift from her family and her husband Jimmy is making her Crozier (the bishop’s staff).  A couple of other items have been spoken for and those will be announced soon.

Requests for supporting the gifts project will be announced very soon.  For more information or to make an early commitment contact the Rev. Canon Ronald Clingenpeel,  rhclingenpeel@yahoo.com
