I urge all churches in the Diocese to hear and follow the Presiding Bishop’s call. Please share this in all our congregations.
Blessings!

Presiding bishop calls Episcopalians to ‘A Season of Prayer for Revival’ |
|
Episcopal Church Presiding Bishop Michael Curry invites Episcopalians everywhere to mark the season after Pentecost with 30 days of prayer leading up to and encompassing the 80th General Convention in Baltimore, Maryland.
“A Season of Prayer for Revival”—from June 12 through July 11—will feature daily prayers drawn from the Book of Common Prayer. Individuals can sign up online to receive the prayers and inspirational messages via email. The prayers will also be posted daily on social media accounts for The Episcopal Church and Forward Movement.
“As we move toward and adapt to a shorter, smaller General Convention, I invite every Episcopalian—whether you’re in Baltimore or Alaska or Honduras, whether you’re a deputy, a bishop, or a new member sitting in the pews—I invite all of us to pause each day just for a moment to pray for the expansive, reviving power of the Holy Spirit to fill our hearts and minds,” Curry said. “We are people of common prayer; may we embrace this season as an opportunity for us all to become a church that truly lives, looks, and loves like Jesus.”

From a message released May 27, 2022:
RIP The Reverend A. Donor Macneice
|
The Reverend A. Donor Macneice died on Friday, May 20, 2022, at the age of 88. Donor retired (in 2006) from Hawai’i after serving as the priest at Christ Memorial Church and St. Thomas Church on Kauai . In retirement, he resided in Cambodia.
God our creator and redeemer, by your power Christ conquered death and entered into glory. Confident of his victory and claiming his promises, we now leave your servant, Donor, in your gracious and merciful keeping; in the name of Jesus our Lord, who died and is alive and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and for ever. Amen.
The Right Reverend Robert L. Fitzpatrick
(Pronouns: he, him, his)
