St Edmund's Episcopal Church San Marino

THE SECOND SUNDAY OF ADVENT, December 4th, 2016

Just released: Coleman Shelton, All-PAC 12 second team offensive lineman, Washington; Conrad Ukropina, All-PAC 12 honorable mention, Stanford.

Now, how many Episcopal parishes have two division 1 stars, let alone, concurrently? St. Edmund’s youth are always about amazing stuff!

Keep the clergy and lay delegates of the Diocese in your prayers as we gather this Friday and Saturday to elect the next Bishop Coadjutor for the seven county Diocese of Los Angeles.

Information about the candidates is HERE

Your clergy delegates are Heffron, Smythe and Woodward. Your lay delegates are Michelle Harrington, Cheryl and Gary Mendoza, and Sylvia Smythe. Your alternate is Carolyn Seitz.

Let us pray:
“Almighty God, giver of every good gift: Look graciously on your Church, and so guide the minds of those who shall choose a Bishop Coadjutor for this Diocese, that we may receive a faithful pastor, who will care for your people and equip us for our ministries; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.” Book of Common Prayer pg. 818

Faithfully in Christ,
GFW+
