WITH AN OPEN HEART AND OPEN MIND, WE WELCOME YOU. | |
Message from the Bishop
Dear Sisters and Brothers in Christ,
It gives me great pleasure to introduce our new Community Newsletter. With more than 33,000 parishioners in our 74 congregations, as well as the many whom we serve in our excellent schools and our special ministries, we seek to serve all those who come to us by guiding, supporting, leading, and uniting.
The Community Newsletter will be published monthly and will contain a great deal of information about our diocesan-wide events, as well as listings for congregational and community events. The Newsletter’s launch represents another way in which we are sharing the good news with our faithful community and our friends.
We hope that everyone in our diocesan community will receive this Newsletter. Please help us in this effort by encouraging those whom you know to subscribe. And please let those whom you know who are friends and colleagues in ministry who are not Episcopalians about this Newsletter and invite them to receive it.
With every blessing.
+Peter
