Presiding Bishop and Thy Kingdom Come
#Pledge2Pray
May 25 - June 4
Presiding Bishop Michael Curry
leading
the
Thy
Kingdom Come videos for the Worldwide Anglican Communion. Thy Kingdom Come is a campaign initiated by Archbishop of Canterbury, Justin Welby calling for prayer by individuals, congregations and families.
Thy Kingdom Come is a global prayer movement which the Archbishop of Canterbury is inviting people around the world to join. The wave of prayer will start in May and run for 10 days between the Christian festivals of Ascension and Pentecost. It's not complicated - we're simply asking people to pray in whatever way they want, and with whoever they want for others to come to know Jesus Christ.
To participate in this international and ecumenical call to prayer go to:

Love God, Love Neighbor is a 3-day training designed to equip Episcopalians to be allies,
advocates

This initiative is funded by a
Constable Fund grant.
The pilot of Love God, Love Neighbor will be held
June 5-7 in West Hartford, Connecticut. There is some scholarship funding available to assist those who need financial support to attend. For this pilot event, we are seeking individuals with a keen interest and heart for this ministry who are also deep thinkers, committed to learning and action, who are able to give us constructive feedback as we enhance and hone the training for subsequent events. Our hope is that those who attend Love God, Love Neighbor become part of an ongoing conversation and collaboration with EMM to support and welcome refugees through resettlement.

A Pilgrimage to the Holy Land in June 2018

To walk where Jesus walked, to swim where the disciples fished, to hear the sounds of the Holy Land, to touch the Western Wall, to stand on Golgotha, to smell the air and taste the food is an incredible sensory experience. We hope that you will join us for what promises to be one of the most transforming experiences of your life. If you have dreamed of this pilgrimage, this is the time you have been waiting for. We would consider it an honor to walk the pilgrim's path with you, in the land where the Christian faith was born.
