Almighty and everlasting God, in Christ you have revealed your glory among the nations: Preserve the works of your mercy, that your Church throughout the world may persevere with steadfast faith in the confession of your Name; through Jesus Christ our Lord, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever. Amen.

(Steadfast faith has sustained St. Paul’s Commons, Echo Park’s these 30 years as headquarters of the Episcopal Diocese of Los Angeles and a hub for interfaith and ecumenical worship, community service, and fellowship. Join us tonight at five for a celebratory Evensong service with the Rev. John Watson of St. Athanasius Episcopal Church, Echo Park presiding. I’ll preach. All are welcome.)
