Prayer

The Epiphany

O God, by the leading of a star you manifested your only Son to the Peoples of the earth: Lead us, who know you now by faith, to your presence, where we may see your glory face to face; through Jesus Christ our Lord, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and for ever. Amen.

- Book of Common Prayer p 214

What's the Difference between the E-News and E-Chronicle?

The E-News comes out twice a month, usually the closest business day to the 1st and 16th. It contains announcements for upcoming events and other important information that needs to get out.

The E-Chronicle, on the other hand, has less urgency. It comes out every other month, and reports on events that have already taken place. It may also feature special interest stories and reflections from folks around the Diocese.

We're here to help you spread the word about any events you have coming up (E-News), and also sharing the results with others in the Diocese (E-Chronicle). Send over your fliers, notices, photos and stories... you never know whose life you could impact or inspire!

Bishop's Reading List for 2014

Aloha my sisters and brothers in Christ:

Hau'oli Makahiki Hou!

As been my custom for the past few years, I have a few suggestions for personal reading or group study in 2014.

1. Truth Speaks to Power: The Countercultural Nature of Scripture by Walter Brueggemann (Westminster John Knox Press, 2013)

This short book (112 pages) has its origin as lectures delivered at a summer conference jointly sponsored by the two Episcopal dioceses in Ohio. In his usually insightful way, Brueggmann outlines what he perceives as Scripture's sustained witness against any power structure that perpetrates injustice in its frantic pursuit of temporal security.

2. Liturgical Sense: The Logic of Rite by LouisWeil (Seabury Books, 2013)

Weil has taught liturgical and sacramental studies at three Episcopal seminaries. He is one of the generation of scholars that shaped the current liturgical practice embodied in the Book of Common Prayer (1979). His (140-page) analysis of the liturgy and his reflection on popular practices is a worthy aid to help us review the worship habits in every local church. I suggest reading it with The Liturgy Explained (New Edition) by James W. Farwell (Morehouse, 2013). These two short books (Farwell's book has only 56 pages) could do much to enhance the style and practices of worship in our congregations.

Click HERE to read the Bishop's letter in its entirety with his other recommendations.

Twelfth Night Celebration at St. Mark's

The Eve of the Epiphany of Our Lord

Epiphany Procession, the Blessing of Chalk,

Epiphany Lessons & Carols with the Choir, 5:00 pm

This year's Epiphany collection will benefit the Pacific Islander Ministry After-School Program at St. Elizabeth's Episcopal Church, Honolulu. The Queen Emma Outreach Guild, who is sponsoring this collection, is seeking donations of the following school supplies: black and blue ballpoint pens, #2 pencils, notepads, dry erase board markers and dry erasers, chalk, highlighters, graph paper, and folder paper (wide and narrow ruled). As the wise men brought gifts to the manger, parishioners are asked to bring their donations to our Epiphany Lessons and Carols Service that begins at 5:00 pm. The Pacific Islander Ministry at St. Elizabeth's helps many children with their homework daily at after-school clinics. The need is great so please be generous.

The 12th Night Party follows the Carol Service. Tickets are $10 for adults. Children's (12 and under) tickets are free. St. Mark's is located at 539 Kapahulu Avenue in Honolulu. For more information, call the office at 732-2333.
