A Prayer of Thanksgiving for a New Bishop (EDSD via Facebook)
Holy Almighty God, from age to age you call forth and anoint shepherds to tend your flock. We celebrate your calling forth our new bishop, the Rev. Canon Susan Brown Snook, to lead us forward in faith. As we joyfully welcome her as bishop, pour forth the gifts from your Holy Spirit to strengthen her for ministry. Through her faithful response to your call, may she come to know the vibrant faith, love, and support of the people of the Episcopal Diocese of San Diego.
And we give thanks for the ministry and faith of the Rev. Roy Hoffman, DMin, and the Rev. Michael Tinnon, DMin, who offered themselves, their lives and ministries, in discernment for bishop. Continue to pour into them a lively sense of your presence, filling them with your holy spirit, and blessing the fruits of their prayers and the work they do for your people and our Church. We offer these prayers through Christ our Lord; who lives and reigns with you, in the unity of the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever. Amen.

Sunday Readings and Music

The Readings for this Sunday
In our opening lesson we hear how the prophet urges each individual to trust solely in the Lord, who alone can search out human motivations. Jeremiah’s primary concern is that people should realize the importance of their choice. Only one who recognizes the powers of human self-deception and rests in the Lord can live a fruitful life.
The Lord makes fruitful the lives of those who choose the way of righteousness..
In this epistle reading Paul insists that belief in resurrection from death is basic to the faith that Jesus was raised, which, in turn, is vital to all Christian hope and experience. If, as some suggest, there is no resurrection, then there is no reason to believe that God raised Jesus. If Jesus was not raised, then we remain in our unforgiven condition and are without hope for ourselves. In fact, however, Christ was raised and is the first of many who will find new life.
In our gospel passage Jesus heals many of their illnesses and teaches his disciples that the values of the kingdom of God are quite different from worldly standards. His words offer both comfort and challenge. Those who now are poor, hungry, sorrowful, and persecuted will find blessing, while the rich, satisfied, and well-spoken of will experience emptiness. Jesus’ disciples must learn to share in material and spiritual deprivation in the world if they are to know the joy of the kingdom.

Your gift to St. Hugh's makes a difference. It allows us to be open so that "
all who seek you [God] here may find you, and be filled with your joy and peace."
It is always the right time. Donate to the mission and ministry of St. Hugh's. Your gifts--of time, talent, and treasure--make it possible to be present in Idyllwild so that we can both invite and then "enable questioning, open-minded people to discover for themselves, the significance of Jesus Christ."
