Every year, on the last Sunday of Epiphany, The Episcopal Church recognizes World Mission Sunday. This is a perfect time to add a prayer for world mission (or a Collect for Mission of the Church found on p. 257 of the Book of Common Prayer) and lift up your international partners and/or the partners of churches within the Diocese.

These August Wilson plays were chosen because in each there is a transforming power of transcendent forces.
