Emmaus House Chapel is an Episcopal Parish serving the residents of Peoplestown, an Atlanta neighborhood of concentrated poverty. Earlier this year, the chapel youth group hosted a kickball tournament for young people from throughout the Diocese of Atlanta to raise money for New Beginnings and Happening retreats at Camp Mikell. The kickball tournament also gave the chapel youth the opportunity to act as hosts in their neighborhood and to show off D.H. Stanton Park, the newest park on the Atlanta Beltline. This film was made by community member Jabriel McIntosh.

Since its inception, the Gift Shop at St. David's has generated over $500,000 to support our International Outreach Missions touching thousands of lives locally and internationally. As a direct result of our donations and purchase of Fair Trade goods, a mother has been employed, churches have been built, a vocational center has opened, a parish of God's followers have clean water to drink, and the Episcopal Church has brought God's love to those in need. Here at home, the Shop provides a much needed ministry to St. David's parishioners allowing them to give back and in-turn be led to enrich their faith through service.

You Are His Hands is a video that was produced completely by volunteers from the Tidewater, VA area in response to the disaster in Haiti. Musicians age 7 to 60 came together to play an original song and a videographer volunteered to put the video together. 500 copies were distributed nationwide and all donations collected were funneled directly through ERD and UMCOR. Based on the prayer of St Terese of Avila, the project reminds viewers that we need to be Christ's hands and feet in the world. The community effort was tremendous and continues to bless all those who see the video.

This video shows snippets from our Maundy Thursday Foot Washing at the Episcopal Church Center in Ocean Beach, California. The event provided new socks and shoes for over 200 people in need. Also available were: foot washers, social workers, legal advisors, dental hygienists, veterinarians, hair stylists, and other social service agencies such as AA. Interfaith prayer services were held in the chapel, and people prayed for one another as feet were washed. A thurifer censed the courtyard where all the activity took place and Taize style guitar music filled the air. It was an interfaith effort to respond to human need through loving service led by the director of the Episcopal Church Center, Nancy Holland (the first person you see interviewed).
The Rt. Rev. James R. Mathes, bishop of the Episcopal Diocese of San Diego was the first to wash feet.

My friend and teammate Ashley Knight and I worked together to create a fundraiser to benefit the children of a 9th world country. Since we are only 15, we cant go to Sudan ourselves, so we thought of another way to help. We wanted to combine our love of a cause with the passion for our game:volleyball. This fundraiser was a volleyball clinic and tournament that raised money for bed nets and a clean drinking well. Please consider voting for my video!
