I want to begin by thanking three wonderful congregations in our diocese who have made sacrificial decisions related to today's convention.
First of all I want to thank Christ Church Bowling Green for their amazing generosity in hosting this convention on such short notice. I want to thank Grace Church Paducah for all the work that went into the planning for a convention, only to see those plans set aside as a much larger task was thrust upon them as a result of the ice storm, and I want to thank the staff and parishioners of St. Matthew’s Church for initiating a conversation with Grace Paducah in which they have willingly postponed their hosting of convention so that Grace Church can complete the plan to host convention next year. The amount of ministry the people of our western Kentucky congregations have had to do as a result of the storm is staggering, and I am so very proud of their response. We will do the business of the diocese today in a very focused format, but we will be ever grateful for the way servant ministry has been modeled by our congregations, knowing full well that the response is not over and support is still needed.
