Church Periodical Club Donates to St. Columba
Thanks to a generous grant by the Church Periodical Club, St. Columba Episcopal Conference and Retreat Center in Memphis, Tennessee, was able to purchase 50 new Books of Common Prayer. St. Columba is a ministry of the Diocese of West Tennessee which opened its doors in 1982. The center still has their original Books of Common Prayer purchased when the center opened and hopes to retire many that have become damaged due to heavy use. In the photo above the 50 books are being presented to the Executive Director of St. Columba, Brad Thompson by Bishop Don E. Johnson (Diocese of West Tennessee), and Diocesan ECW CPC Coordinator and Diocesan ECW President, Jean Arehart.
