The Office of the Bishop will be closed on Thursday, November 27, and Friday, November 28, 2025, in observance of the Thanksgiving holiday. Regular operations will resume on Monday, December 1.

As we enter this season of gratitude, we pause to remember God’s abundance and the many ways Christ’s love is revealed in our congregations, leaders, ministry partners, and communities across Arizona, southern Nevada, St. George, and the Navajo Nation. We give thanks for the faithful work you carry out every day in service to the Gospel.

Blessed Creator,

We give you thanks for the gifts of this season — for food, family, community, and rest.

Renew our spirits as we pause from our work, and deepen our gratitude for all you entrust to our care.

Make us mindful of neighbors who hunger, who grieve, or who long for peace.

Gather us again in your mercy and send us out in hope.

In Christ’s name we pray. Amen.

We wish you and your congregations a peaceful and restorative Thanksgiving.
