The news that the shelter order has been made stricter and extended through at least May 1 may be financially devastating for folks in the congregation. If you need a grant from the Pastoral Emergency Fund at this time to meet your expenses, be in touch with Rev. Molly or Rev. Kit. The funds are there for precisely this reason, and there is no shame in asking for the help your church can provide. If you are in a position to replenish the fund, you can make donations through Realm by selecting “for ?s ask Kit” from the dropdown menu on the giving page and put “emergency fund” in the memo line, or send a check to the church office.
