Pete Nunnally, Director of Volunteers for Episcopal Community Services in the Diocese of Louisiana will be visiting Rhode Island next weekend. Episcopal Community Services is continuing the rebuilding work begun after Katrina, now focused on long term, sustainable community growth and development. There are still plenty of projects for parishes and individuals to be involved in, and plenty to learn about working in an urban environment similar in many ways to our own. Pete’s own story is compelling; a spring mission trip with his home parish in northern Virginia turned into a complete life reorientation.
St. Martin’s in Providence will be hosting Pete and invites you to an informal reception on
Saturday afternoon, November 7 from 4 to 6 PM. We’ll serve light refreshments and have time for Pete to present some of what’s happening in New Orleans and respond to questions. This is an excellent opportunity for you and your congregations to learn more about what’s happening in New Orleans and to strengthen the relationship between our two dioceses. For more information please call the parish office at 401-751-2141 or email The Rev. Clare Fischer-Davies at
rector@stmartinsprov.org .
