Proper 11:
Almighty God, the fountain of all wisdom, you know our necessities before we ask and our ignorance in asking: Have compassion on our weaknesses, and mercifully give us those things which for our unworthiness we dare not, and for our blindness we cannot ask; through the worthiness of your Son Jesus Christ our Lord, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and forever. Amen.
- Book of Common Prayer p. 231

Keeping Up in the Diocese: Website & Social Media
With the changing times and rapid growth in technology, the Diocese of Hawai'i has made a concerted effort to reach out to congregations through the internet. It has been just a year since the launch of the new diocesan website, and the opportunity for all churches in the diocese to create and have a website at no charge!
A website is not only a great communication tool for use within the congregation, but for reaching out to others in the community. Special events & activities, programs and announcements, can all be linked to a church's website.
So join in! Spread the word! Sign-up to receive the e-news and e-Chronicle, visit Facebook, and keep up with all the happenings in the Diocese and beyond!!!

A Word to the Churches
The leaders of The Episcopal Church, the Anglican Church of Canada, the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America and the Evangelical Lutheran Church in Canada have issued a joint statement following 12 years of full communion.
From the heads of:
The Anglican Church of Canada
The Episcopal Church
The Evangelical Lutheran Church in America
The Evangelical Lutheran Church in Canada
Twelve years ago Anglicans and Lutherans in Canada and Episcopalians and Lutherans in the United States and Canada embarked together on a journey of full communion, by which we fully recognize each other "as churches in which the gospel is truly preached and the holy sacraments duly administered" (Called to Common Mission).
