After the earthquake in Haiti, Presiding Bishop Katharine Jefferts Schori responded quickly, urging our “concrete and immediate prayers in the form of contributions to Episcopal Relief and Development, who are already working with the diocese of Haiti to send aid where it is most needed.” To donate to the Haiti Fund, send checks to:
- Episcopal Relief and Development

Merrifield, VA 22116-7058
Please put “Haiti Fund” on the memo line. Thank you!
Special thanks to those who contributed to the new dishes which are completely paid now! There is even some surplus which will go toward the remaining bowls and, perhaps, give us a start on soup spoons. Watch this space!

HOLY TRINITY RECYCLES: Containers for recycling: (1) Plastic bags; (2) batteries; (3) # I clear plastic containers (look for the triangle with I on the bottom and on any detached lids); (4) fluorescent (not incandescent) bulbs are now located in the Bishop’s Foyer. Please remember that all recyclables that Rumpke takes (paper, cardboard, # I and #2 plastic bottles, glass bottles and jars) can be placed in the kitchen & Old Rectory recycling bins.
MEDICINE BOTTLES AND ART CATALYSTS: A separate container in the Bishop’s Foyer (the largest) is for medicine bottles and craft catalysts. Mary Fahnestock-Thomas collects medicine bottles for use by clinics in needy areas as wen as anything for early childhood schools in Oxford that could stimulate young minds in arts and crafts: bottle and jar lids, buttons; paper towel and toilet tissue rolls; reusable plastic containers and small bottles; fabric, ribbon and yarn scraps; spools; basically anything that can be reused creatively.
