Are you discerning a year with Episcopal Service Corps?

This video from Presiding Bishop Michael Curry talks about the courage to serve, and that it is in spaces like ESC where the real work of "doing church" takes place. The "PB" is behind ESC all the way, and it's worth listening to his wisdom and words of encouragement, particularly in light of the challenges of COVID-19.
