Almighty God, whom truly to know is everlasting life: Grant us so perfectly to know your Son Jesus Christ to be the way, the truth, and the life, that we may steadfastly follow his steps in the way that leads to eternal life; through Jesus Christ your Son our Lord, who lives and reigns with you, in the unity of the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever. Amen.

| | VISION | | |
All Episcopalians in Hawai`i shall work together to create a Church filled with visible and spirit-driven Christians - Christians who are eager to share our Episcopal tradition and faith, and traditional Hawaiian spiritual values, with those who have not yet found a spiritual anchor in their lives.
GOALS
1) Convert our Hearts to Accept Jesus' Gospel Message and to Live in a Deep Relationship with God.
2) Transform the Episcopal Church in Hawai`i and Congregations to Vital and Vibrant Faith Communities.
3) Evangelize to Share God's Love in Our Communities.
4) Reduce the structure and administration costs of the Diocese so that its operations, including its bodies, are directed to supporting transformation and growth.
The Five Marks of Mission of the Worldwide Anglican Communion:
1) To proclaim the Good News of the Kingdom
2) To teach, baptize and nurture new believers
3) To respond to human need by loving service
4) To seek to transform unjust structures of society
5) To strive to safeguard the integrity of creation and sustain and renew the life of the earth.

Prayers for Episcopal Youth Event Participants
The Diocese of Hawaii will be well represented at the upcoming triannual Episcopal Youth Event (EYE) in June. 24 young people and 6 adult sponsors will be making the journey to Minnesota on June 21. Marilyn Hirashima, the Hawaii registrar who has been working diligently to organize the Hawaii contingent, has asked that prayers be started for all the participants and the event itself, that brings hundreds of high school aged youth together from around The Episocpal Church. With over 100 dioceses and 7000 churches, participation promises to be a cultural explosion and once-in-a-lifetime experience for them all. Please keep them in your prayers for a safe and spirit-filled experience, until their return on June 30.
