In the name of Christ, we embrace all people to be nourished and empowered by the Holy Spirit to love and serve the world.

FROM PETER'S PEN

The 80th General Convention of the Episcopal Church meets July 8-11 in Baltimore, MD. As our Bishops, Deputies, and staff gather to undertake the work of the church, I ask that you pray For a Church Convention, page 255, from The Book of Common Prayer:

Almighty and everlasting Father, you have given the Holy Spirit to abide with us for ever: Bless, we pray, with his grace and presence, the bishops and the other clergy and the laity there assembled in your Name, that your Church, being preserved in true faith and godly discipline, may fulfill all the mind of him who loved it and gave himself for it, your Son Jesus Christ our Savior; who lives and reigns with you, in the unity of the Holy Spirit, one God, now and for ever. Amen.

With Joy,

Peter +

The Rev. Peter Doddema
