The Diocese of California is organized into six deaneries (a group of congregations). The Alameda, Contra Costa, Marin, San Francisco, and Southern Alameda deaneries cover their respective counties; the Peninsula Deanery consists of all of San Mateo County and a small portion of Santa Clara County. St. Timothy’s is part of the Contra Costa deanery. You can get involved in many ways at the diocesan level. Give deanery a try. There is a lot going on in 2023.

A PRAYER FOR TRANSITION
Almighty God, giver of every good gift,
by your grace you have called us
into one fellowship of faith:
Look graciously on the people
of the Diocese of California
during this time of transition.
May we be guided in heart and mind
by your Holy Spirit to seek
and welcome a faithful pastor
who will care for your people
and equip us to perform
the work of the Church.
Grant us, in all our doubts
and uncertainties,
The grace to ask what
you would have us do.
Save us from all false choices,
that in your light we may see light,
and on your path may not stumble;
through Jesus Christ our Lord.
Amen
