Funding: The Ralph Bell Crusade is organized as an independent, non-profit organization according to applicable state and local laws. The Executive Committee for the Crusade is responsible for the raising and management of all money for the Crusade. The Executive Committee is made up of qualified local people who have been carefully selected. At the close of the Crusade this committee will commission an independent audit of the crusade finances and make a report of the audit public.

The money for the crusade will be raised from local contributions. On Sunday, March 5th, the loose offering that is normally designated for Trinity’s Rector’s Discretionary Fund, will be collected and donated to the Crusade. Contributions can be made directly to the Crusade. Donations can be sent to:

Take Sunday’s Off

The Sunday’s following Ash Wednesday and through Palm Sunday are Sundays in Lent and not Sundays of Lent, and from ancient times each of these Sundays has been intended to be a Sabbath from the rigors of the Lenten discipline. Provided that you keep a week-day Lenten discipline, you will need a Sabbath, a rest, and Sunday is it. Thus, you should endeavor to come to Church every Sunday in Lent as reward for your labors, encouragement in the effort, and preparation for the week ahead. You should keep that Sabbath as a holy day along with your fellow Lenten pilgrims: This is another essential aspect of the public nature of Lent. You will need help in your Lenten work, all the help you can get, and you will find it in Church on Sunday mornings.
