Dear Synod Delegates and Friends,

We Are One In The Spirit

On behalf of the Episcopal Parish of Alton, I welcome you to the 129^th Synod of the Episcopal Diocese of Springfield.

It is our hope that the arrangements we have made will afford you every comfort and convenience during the business sessions and our worship together. If you have any questions or queries, then members of the parish - wearing blue shirts imprinted with the episcopal logo - will be happy to do all they can to help you.

Fr. David J. Boase

O Holy Spirit, Lord of grace,

Eternal fount of love,

Inflame, we pray, our inmost hearts

With fire from heaven above.

As thou in bond of love dost join

The Father and the Son,

So fill us all with mutual love,

And knit our hearts in one.

All glory to the Father be,

All glory to the Son,

All glory, Holy Ghost, to thee,

While endless ages run.
