​We've received wonderful news that our companion diocese, the Diocese of Kigezi in Uganda, has received the donation we gathered and has started using it to rebuild after the flooding and other struggles they've faced this year. Thank you so much again to everyone who contributed, and thanks be to God!

Last week, St. Martin of Tours' Anglican Church in Fresno lost their church buildings to a fire. On Sunday, Bishop Eric and the clergy and laity of neighboring churches came together for a Eucharist asking God to work and support the people of St. Martin's at this time. Please join us in keeping them in prayer.

O God of unchangeable power and eternal light: Look favorably on your whole Church, that wonderful and sacred mystery; by the effectual working of your providence, carry out in tranquility the plan of salvation; let the whole world see and know that things which were cast down are being raised up, and things which had grown old are being made new, and that all things are being brought to their perfection by him through whom all things were made, your Son Jesus Christ our Lord; who lives and reigns with you, in the unity of the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever. Amen.
