Fourth Sunday in Lent

O God, who before the passion of your only-begotten Son

revealed his glory upon the holy mountain: Grant to us that we, beholding by faith the light of his countenance, may be
strengthened to bear our cross, and be changed into his
likeness from glory to glory; through Jesus Christ our Lord,
who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God,
for ever and ever. Amen.

Message from the Bishop

Bishop Fitzpatrick
I will be away for the Spring House of Bishops' meeting from Wednesday, March 11, through Wednesday, March 18.  We are meeting at the Kanuga Conference Center, Hendersonville, North Carolina.  

Since this is the last meeting this triennium before General Convention (this Summer in Salt Lake City), this will be an important meeting.  It will also be the last meeting of the House of Bishops outside of General Convention on Bishop Katharine's watch as Presiding Bishop.  

The Spring House of Bishops' meeting tends to focus on mutual support, spiritual formation and key learnings from others in the House.  Please keep the Bishops in your prayers.

Mahalo,
Bob

The Rt. Rev. Robert L. Fitzpatrick, Bishop
The Episcopal Diocese of Hawai'i and
The Episcopal Church in Micronesia

He will head up a chaplaincy team of three chaplains (one each for the Lower, Middle, and Upper Schools) plus their administrative support, as well as oversee and develop the required chapel services for the student body, faculty, and staff. He will also be Chair of the Christian Education Department and thus oversee curricula throughout K-12 as well as be part of the school's Administrative team. 

David is forever thankful for his ministry within the Diocese of Hawaiʻi at Seabury and before that at Epiphany Church, and will endeavor to bring the Aloha spirit to his new locale.

King Kamehameha IV Battles Again!
Lent Madness
Lent Madness fever has begun, and the slate of 32 Saints in this year's battle for the Golden Halo is narrowing down. Our own King Kamehameha IV nearly set a record with a landslide victory over Willian Laud in the first round. The Lent Madness site reported, "Yesterday we saw one of the greatest routs in Lent Madness history with Kamehameha spanking William Laud 84% to 16%."

In the second round of the Saintly 16, King Kamehameha IV will go up against another formidable Saint, David Oakerhater, this Friday, March 13. Mark your calendars and be sure to cast your vote! 

Some of you may remember our first introduction to Lent Madness in 2012, when our very own Queen Emma made it all the way to the final round, a feat that left the bloggers busy, and the world a little more familiar with our beloved Queen.

Lent Madness is a fun and educational way to learn about the different Saints. In 2010, the Rev. Tim Schenck came up with this engaging way for people to learn about the men and women comprising the Church's Calendar of Saints during Lent. In 2012, he partnered with the Rev. Scott Gunn who was also the Executive Director of Forward Movement, creating a website and expanding its exposure.  You can learn more about Lent Madness HERE, and don't forget to vote!!! Mark your calendars for Friday, March 13, and vote for King Kamehameha IV!

What's Happening in The Episcopal Church? 

Announcements from around The Episcopal Church & beyond 

#washday15: Anglican Global Lenten Movement

A new global movement - #washday15 - provides a means for participating in a worldwide Lenten discipline through social media postings on Twitter, Tumblr, Instagram, and Facebook.

 

Initiated by the Diocese of Oxford in England, the Domestic and Foreign Missionary Society is joining with the Church of England and other provinces throughout the Anglican Communion in #washday15.

 

The effort was inspired by the video Laundry Love, in which an Episcopal congregation in Santa Monica, CA (Diocese of Los Angeles) meets at a laundromat once a month to do laundry with the homeless. The goal of #washday15 is to engage people in a Lenten practice, culminating on Holy Thursday, the traditional day for foot washing.
