Come Holy Spirit, I need you.
Breath of God, fill me wholly and completely.
Form and shape me into the person you want me to be.
Lead me to do what you want me to do.
Empower me and use me; speak to me and through me.
Produce your fruit in me.
Help me to listen to your voice above all other voices that clamor for my attention.
Come, Holy Spirit, I need you.
In Jesus’ name. Amen.
Holy Spirit Prayer – from CREED by Adam Hamilton

Words of Wisdom ~ From Fr. Jim |
|
“Regardless of how the election turns out, I will not hold hate, disdain, or ridicule for those who voted differently from me. Whether I am pleased or upset about the outcome, I will seek to understand the concerns and aspirations of those who voted differently and will look for opportunities to work with people with whom I disagree.”
~Braver Angels

Presiding Bishop’s Statement on the Death of Justice Ginsburg
[September 18, 2020] Episcopal Church Presiding Bishop Michael Curry has issued the following statement:
The late John Fitzgerald Kennedy once said, “while on earth God’s work must truly be our own.”
The sacred cause of liberty and justice, dignity and equality decreed by God and meant for all has been advanced because while on earth Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg made God’s work her own. Because of her the ancient words of the prophet Micah to do justice, love mercy and walk humbly with God have found fulfillment. May we follow in her footprints. May she rest in the arms of the God who is love and the author of true justice.
Rest In Peace Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg. Shalom.
The Most Rev. Michael B. Curry
Presiding Bishop and Primate

I wanted to share some information about an upcoming event at St. Martin's, Davis. I am thinking we all have folks in our deaneries who may be interested :-) Here's an excerpt from the press release:
Extreme weather events throughout 2020 have devastated natural landscapes and human communities. Climate change contributes to the intensity and severity of these events, which disproportionately affect people in developing nations and marginalized communities within the US.
On September 23, 2020 at 7:00pm, UC Davis professor Julie Sze will present a timely lecture on her book, “Environmental Justice in a Moment of Danger.” Her work examines the intersection of climate change with racism, class exploitation, indigenous struggles for land, and privatization, interwoven with threads to create an inspirational primer on restorative environmental justice. Sze commented, “We live in precarious times, and it is precisely in this moment that understanding environmental justice movements is essential.”
Information on how to register is in the attached flyer here.
Peace,
Mack
The Very Rev. Mack Olson, Rector
Church of the Epiphany, Vacaville

We Pray for the Repose of the Souls |
|
This week, Trinity hosted the memorial service for Robert Norton in Abbot Courtyard; Robert will be interred in Trinity's Memorial Garden.
On Thursday, Fr. Jim participated in the memorial service in Maryland
(via Zoom) for Daphne Pritchard.
Services for Jim Hoelter are pending.
We continue to pray for the repose of these souls, and for the strength and comfort of their families and friends.
I know that my Redeemer lives,
and that he shall stand at the latter day upon the earth;
and though this body be destroyed,
yet shall I see God; whom I shall see for myself
and mine eyes shall behold, and not as a stranger.
BCP p. 469
