I'm so glad that you came to visit me online! I've been to lots of places with the Children's Mission Offering. Now I would like to take you on a journey with the children of The Episcopal Diocese of Jerusalem.

The theme of this journey is Building Presence, Building Peace. Building Presence means that we will help to build schools, churches, and hospitals with our prayers and offerings. Building Peace means that we will be able to build peace at home, in the church, and in community by starting with God. To see some of the places that we will visit on our journey, look at the map. We have wonderful messages from Bishop Riah of Jerusalem and our Presiding Bishop, Frank Griswold. You can write messages to the church in the Middle East and read some messages by visiting our message board. You can even make your own gift box for your offering to the Diocese of Jerusalem.

I also have a special message for parents. Most of all, I am glad that you came today! Let's meet the wonderful children of the Diocese of Jerusalem and hear their stories.

Each week you and your family can take time to learn, pray and read the Bible and follow the story of Jesus together. You can also follow the stories from children in the Diocese of Jerusalem.
