A Collect for the Tour
O God, protector of your creation,
who keeps watch of its going out and its coming in: Preserve in safety the cyclists and those who travel with them; surround them with your care and protect them from every danger, that they may arrive unharmed to their journey's end. Protect also, those for whom they ride, the victims of human trafficking; through Jesus Christ our Lord, to whom, with you and the Holy Spirit, be honor and glory, now and forever. Amen.

As my brother has arrived from the east coast (Larry is a Tour Team Member) the Tour is most definitely upon us.
I invite you to integrate the Tour Collect into your everyday prayers. In invite you to remember: Michael, Zac, Craig, Larry, Will, Troy and myself, and of course, any others who join us along the way. I invite you to come and greet us as we make our way to you in the days to come.
Bless you San Joaquin Episcopalians, Bless you for your effort and work over the last few months, bless you for the hospitality you will provide during the Tour.
Bless you one and all.
