We've been meaning to share the Bishop's letter.... The Diocese is fully on board with our rebuilding efforts.

From Bishop Councell:
I am sorry to report that the Church of the Redeemer, our seasonal chapel at Longport, New Jersey, was destroyed by a fire caused by lightning on Friday night, June 29th. The Rev. John Baker and his family, from the Diocese of Virginia — who are in residence... these next few weeks — are safe. The rectory was preserved.
Please pray for the people who regularly attend the Church of the Redeemer and all those who support its presence and its ministry in the community of Longport. May our Lord bless and uphold them with grace and wisdom as they discern God's call and consider the future shape of their mission in obedience to Christ.
Faithfully yours in Christ,
+George
