Fundraising

I want to invite you to join me on this journey! There are two parts to this. Part of this mission is to raise $10,000 to help cover my travel, living expenses, insurance, etc. That is a lot of money, I know, and I understand that not everyone can contribute this way. Second, I ask for your prayers and encouragement! I will be surrounded by so much unfamiliarity, and your support will help sustain me, through it all. Let me know if you are joining my journey in this way so that I can pray for you as well!


If you feel called to give financially there are a few ways you can do this:


You can send a check to St. Elizabeth Episcopal Church (BONUS: This way is Tax Deductible!)
110 Sugarwood Dr, Knoxville, TN 37934


the check should be made out to St. Elizabeth with "Emily YASC Fund" in the memo and maybe a nice note if you feel like adding one!
You can also give one of my parents a check in person and they will deliver it to the church for you.
If you have any questions please message or email me. Thank you!!!

When Lambeth Feels Normal

Image
Its funny when you realize what has become your new normal.  A year ago, I would have been telling the world that I was going to London for an event at Lambeth Palace.  But there I was on the train feeling completely unphased by my destination.  I have lived in Liverpool for over a year now, and I will be here until next September.  These feeling of normalcy doesn’t mean that I have lost perspective on how blessed I am to even be in this position, but it is nice to be so comfortable where I am. Today I am on my way to the launch of the Clewer Initiative, which is a new program meant to combat human trafficking and modern day slavery.  In November we will host an evaluation event for Liverpool Diocese that will steer our work on this topic as we help to pilot this program.  We will talk about how human trafficking and modern slavery manifest in the Liverpool City Region and what we as the church can do to both aid in the work already being done and bring...

Good News at a Bad Time

Because of the unforeseen circumstance of my grandmother’s passing, this announcement has been expedited and is happening a little differently than I would have liked.  But oh well I guess that is how life goes, and while this isn’t the best time, it is still good news.   I have been asked and have agreed to extend my time in Liverpool for a second year.  I am extremely excited about this and about continuing the work that I have been doing.  What this also means is that I will be returning home for a few weeks.  This time is meant for vacation but also to raise money for my second year.  Originally the plan was that I would come home in July, but with my grandmother’s funeral being this next Tuesday, it makes sense for everyone, if I take my ‘time home’ at the same time.  So what does this mean.  Well I am happy that my time has been extended, happy that I get some time at home, nervous about fundraising again, and sad about the circums...

A Man Twice My Height, With a Booming Voice

First and foremost here is a more logistical update: I will be departing for Liverpool around September 10th-12th.  Once I am there I will be working with the Diocese, Cathedral, and St. Luke’s Church with a focus on social justice, church in an urban context, leading small groups, families and children in a parish, and fundraising.  These updates are so exciting and as my departure date gets closer and closer the reality of the amazing work I will be doing sinks in even more. On a totally different note, I have been trying to figure out what to say for my next blog post.  I’ve worked on one for a while but it still doesn’t feel quite ready.  So while that post simmers on the back burner I’ll turn to something else that I think plays an important part in my decision to go on this journey.   Our personal history does not define us but it it does have a lasting effect.  Middle school religion class is not something that most people might identify a...
