The Holy Spirit is blowing the winds of new life into St. Christopher’s by the Sea in Westport. This blessed mission church was started in a tent to minister to the needs of the people of Washington’s south ocean beaches. Over the years it has moved into a remodeled school house, started a food bank next door to the church, and a clothing bank in Grayland. 
On Saturday, May 18, during a diocesan festival at St. Mark's Cathedral, the Diocese of Olympia launched an App! Folks were encouraged to "download the new Dio Olympia app and get the bishop on your phone." The free App is available for both iPhone and Android platforms. 
Photos from the Diocesan Festival held at St. Mark's Cathedral on May 18 are posted on the diocesan Facebook Page. The day included "funshops," Eucharist, a BBQ picnic lunch, carnival games, and "Dunk the Bishop." 
Help provide food for those in need worldwide by becoming a part of (or sponsoring) The Farm Team. Episcopal Relief & Development is teaming up with the Diocese of Olympia to create an event-within-an-event by inviting members of the diocese to join The Farm Team and run or walk the Rock ‘n Roll Marathon or the Half Marathon event on Saturday, June 22.
