Episcopal Church of Our Saviour, Madison County, KY

Church Email

Please Note: 

The clergy, vestry or other members of the congregation will never ask you for gift cards, (even when the sender might appear to be someone you know).

• These type of requests will typically give you the impression there is a timely response needed, such as "please email/text me back as soon as possible"
  • If you dive into their email address, beyond what you initially see, you will find it is not the email of the person you know.
• Again, the email, website or given links might look very real. 
  • Do NOT Click on the links or website. Sometimes that click can give the sender access to your personal information.
  • VERIFY the email address/text phone number or links that you personally have for the supposed sender or call the phone number that you have for said person.
• You will find the sender indicates an urgency for your response, but initially does not indicate the issue. Should you respond back, the sender then tells you they are collecting gift cards for a serious cause, and in some cases the collection is secret.
• It's easy to fall for the SCAM!
• One of our member indicated they intentionally responded with "Call Me", and of course never received a phone call. 
• It's easy to fall for the SCAM, because it looks real.

The best action you can take is:

• Do Not Respond to the sender.
• Verify the supposed sender's communication routes via the information you have on file (not the sender's).

The Haven of Hope (non-profit) in Richmond has a new emergency shelter that opened this week. The shelter is located in a large commercial space at 301 Steep St., off of Big Hill Avenue and close to Boggs Lane. I am helping organize their food schedule. In addition, our church has been involved supplying food for Haven of Hope throughout 2025.

The shelter’s goal is to feed 30 people a hot meal each night and give them an extra small snack bag. 

• ECOS has Tuesday Evenings (beginning DEC 23rd).
  • How would this work? The meal items can be prepared at home or wherever, but need to be individually pre-packaged in disposable containers with lids.
  • Suggestions on preparations:
    • Food can be cooked at home and dropped off at the Parish House for packaging, or as a team, we could easily cook the meals at the parish house, package it, and deliver it. We need 3-4 volunteers each week to:
      • Plan the meals
      • Prepare the food
      • Package the food
      • Snack bag needs to be small with maybe 3 items (Snacks could be dessert like item, chips, cookies, granola bar, etc.) 
      • Deliver the packaged food. We will drop off the packaged food at the front entrance of the building at 6:00 p.m, (no serving).
         
• Here's Sign-Up Link to Help Feed the Homeless. Just pick a date or dates and do what you can to help.
