Gracious God, we give thanks today as the people of St. James’ Episcopal Church- South Pasadena, CA gather to celebrate the new ministry of their rector, the Rev. Dr. Greg Kimura. Comfort the six individuals and families at the parish who have lost their homes and lift up those who continue to care for evacuees and other wildfire victims in the spirit of goodness and kindness that typifies St. James. Through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
