This past week we held our 18th Annual Diocesan Synod. I was impressed again with what a pleasant and intelligent and well meaning group of grownup Christians gathers together for prayer and conducts the business of the Diocese. There was lots of good fellowship, good food, wonderful prayer and worship. The minutes of the Synod business meeting, including +Archbishop Provence’s address, will be forwarded to you all in a few weeks … but some good news is that the Province continues in fine financial shape and we welcomed two new parishes and a mission church from Oregon. The Province is growing and the need for men to pursue vocations is growing greatly also. As we look forward to Rogation Sunday next Sunday, please pray earnestly for God to provide good priests to serve Him in our growing Province.

Upcoming Diocesan events:
The Annual Diocese of the Western States Family Camping Trip is scheduled for July 9-12 at Patrick Point on the Northern California Coast.

A  Bible memory verse, James 1:17,
“Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, and cometh down from the Father of lights, with whom is no variableness, neither shadow of turning.”

Alleluia, He is Risen! Alleluia! He is Risen Indeed!
