Special Church Campaigns

Events you can plan for your church.

Special church campaigns offer tangible ways to educate and involve your congregation in our efforts to heal a hurting world.

NetsforLife® Inspiration Fund Campaign

The NetsforLife® Inspiration Fund campaign seeks to unite and engage Episcopal dioceses, parishes, seminaries, schools and universities in the effort to raise awareness and funds for malaria prevention. Working at the grassroots level within the Episcopal community, the Inspiration Fund will help NetsforLife® deliver upon its promise to distribute 7 million nets by 2013.

Lent

The forty days of Lent provide a time to slow down, reflect on our Christian faith and prepare ourselves for the celebration and season of Easter. Lent is traditionally a time of prayer, reflection and fasting. It also gives us an opportunity to consider our relationships with our neighbors and the world, and find the resolve to make them whole. Episcopal Relief & Development’s Lenten Meditation booklets are intended to help guide you through this time of contemplation.

Episcopal Relief & Development Sunday

This annual event encourages Episcopal congregations to support the Church’s commitment to fighting extreme poverty and disease through Episcopal Relief & Development.

Gifts for Life and Alternative Gift Markets

When an individual makes a purchase from Gifts for Life through the catalog or at an Alternative Gift Market, a donation is given to support Episcopal Relief & Development’s programs to alleviate hunger, fight preventable diseases, create economic opportunities and respond in times of disaster. The purchaser gets a gift card to send to those they want to honor with their gift. 

Advent

Count down the days until Christmas with Episcopal Relief & Development! Download a PDF of our Advent Calendar, or visit the Advent Calendar page for stories, special prayers, videos and more. Each day of the Advent Calendar corresponds to an item in our Gifts for Life catalog, and features artwork from the Abundant Life Garden Project, drawn by the Rev. Jay Sidebotham.
