Episcopalians everywhere are invited to participate, pray, and support EYE—the church’s second-largest event after General Convention—in the following ways:

  • Follow on social media: Facebook, Instagram, and TikTok
  • Make a financial gift; consider taking a special offering to support EYE.
  • Pray for the gathering and attendees, perhaps with this EYE collect:

    Creator God, who empowers us in faith, be with us as we gather in a community of joy, comfort, and hope. Be with us as we celebrate our “Regreso A Casa” to a “New Age of Faith.” Let your spirit move through us to broaden our minds and open our hearts to one another. Send us from this place with your strength and courage to show the world your truth and accessibility so we may know our own dignity and belovedness. All this we ask through our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, Amen.
