Proper 15
Almighty God, you have given your only Son to be for us a sacrifice for sin, and also an example of godly life: Give us grace to receive thankfully the fruits of this redeeming work, and to follow daily in the blessed steps of his most holy life; through Jesus Christ your Son our Lord, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and for ever. Amen.

Office of the Bishop New Staff Contact
The Rev. Cn. Alexander (Sandy) Graham
The Rev. Cn. Alexander (Sandy) Graham, Canon for Congregational Life and Leadership, is the newest staff member in the Office of the Bishop. As his title implies, Graham's responsibilities will include congregational development, and developing lay and clergy leadership. He will also oversee formation and discipleship, evangelism, and stewardship.
His contact information is as follows:

Thurible & Incense Training with the Bishop
The Rt. Rev. Robert Fitzpatrick will provide training on the use of the thurible and incense at Calvary Episcopal Church on Saturday, September 10, 2016, from 5:00 PM - 6:00 PM. Clergy, lay leaders and the public are invited. Parking is available on the lot behind the church building.
Our hope is to provide church leaders with another tool to enhance worship life. For thousands of years, incense symbolizes purification. Many worshipers feel their prayers lifted up into heaven by the billowing fragrant smoke. Others feel the glory of God making his presence known.

Hawaiian-Language Gospel Book (Na 'Euanelio Hemolele) & Book of Common Prayer Available for Purchase
Along with the previously advertised Hawaiian-language Book of Common Prayer, the Office of the Bishop is now offering Na 'Euanelio Hemolele, the Holy Gospels of Matthew, Mark, Luke and John. The lectionary-size book is written in Hawaiian complete with diacritical marks.
The publication was funded by the Diocese's Commission on Native Hawaiian Ministry, originally released in 2003. It was a project of the Rev. Cn. Malcolm Naea Chun, that took over 20 years to complete. It has a white hard-cover with gold foil stamping.
The Hawaiian-language BCP is cloth-bound in red with gold foil stamping, and contains over 400 pages of translated biblical scripture, liturgical prayers, and orders service, including King Kamehameha IV's Preface. King Kamehameha IV translated the Book of Common Prayer into Hawaiian language as an act of personal piety and Christian devotion. His translation remains a milestone in Hawaiian literature and a valuable resource for anyone studying the language.
Both of these books are now available for purchase through the Office of the Bishop and can be ordered online HERE. The books are $30.00 each. Shipping is $6.00 per book, but arrangements can be made for pick-up.
SPECIAL PRICING: Save by purchasing a set! The special price is $50 for the set that contains one of each book, plus shipping. If you recently purchased the BCP (after July 1, 2016) and would now like to get Na 'Euanelio Hemolele, we will honor this new special pricing. Be sure to select that option in the updated online ordering page, or e-mail Charmaine Ito. For more information and to order your book now, click HERE. ______________________________________

Task Force on the Study of Marriage offers report, seeks input on "Dearly Beloved" toolkit
[August 3, 2016] The General Convention Task Force on the Study of Marriage has provided the following report and seeks input from Episcopalians on "Dearly Beloved."
The Task Force is outlined in Resolution A037 available HERE.
The Task Force report follows:
Task Force on the Study of Marriage seeks input about "Dearly Beloved" toolkit
The Task Force on the Study of Marriage, created at last year's General Convention, is seeking responses from individuals, congregations and dioceses to a survey to gauge the use of the "Dearly Beloved" toolkit, a resource on marriage created in 2014.
The survey is available in English HERE.
General Convention in 2015, through Resolution A037, encouraged the continued use of "Dearly Beloved," and the Task Force wants to see how widely the resource has been used so far.
Multiple people from the same congregation or group may complete the survey. Because it asks for your thoughts on how the resource was used, or was not used, in your context, every response will help give us a more complete picture. The links may be shared with others who may wish to complete the survey.
The deadline to submit responses is August 16.
