In the Diocesan Cycle of Prayer, we pray for the Anglican Communion throughout the world and the Most Rev. and Rt. Hon. Justin Welby, Archbishop of Canterbury; and for The Episcopal Church USA and the Most Rev. Michael Curry, Presiding Bishop. Pray also for the 165th Convention of the ECMN to be held 27-29 October in Rochester MN. We also pray for the parish of Saint Edward (Wayzata).

Pastoral Care

The Pastoral Care Team has a request for all: as we practice our social distancing, do not let that extend to social isolation. Take a few minutes every day to call someone to see how they are doing – to reach out and say a prayer with them and/or find out if they need anything. One of the things that is so important right now is to connect with our community. If there are those who need help, please let us know and we will figure out how to assist; if you are that person, please reach out to Deacon Janet or Pat Trumbull. As Jesus said: Love one another.
