We give thanks to the hard work of the Nominating Committee in preparing this strong slate of candidates.  Watch this site for additional information and details about their visits to the diocese during the week on January 21.  During this time various opportunities will be made available for the People of This Diocese to meet them and those who may be nominated by petition.

Pray for God’s grace to continue in the process and the Holy Spirit to guide us as we elect our next bishop.
