135th Annual Convention

From the Diocesan Digest:
135th Annual Convention: What Does It Take to Make Church?
"October 13-15 (in-person, Pueblo Convention Center). Our lives and our communities have been transformed over the past two years. We have lost much and necessarily let go of much we held dear, individually and collectively. We have also discovered new ways to nurture and sustain ourselves and each other in creative new ways. Now we are asking the important questions in new ways: What are we called to? How do we connect? How do we tether ourselves to God and tether our hearts to each other?
Our annual convention is our opportunity to gather to accomplish the canonically required work of the church as well as find inspiration in our journey with God and each other. We will gather and pray together as we face our current realities and lean into our shared future in leading our diocese."

Blessings,

Matthew+

Almighty and everliving God, source of all wisdom and understanding, be present with those who take counsel in the Episcopal Church in Colorado for the renewal and mission of your Church. Teach us in all things to seek first your honor and glory. Guide us to perceive what is right, and grant us both the courage to pursue it and the grace to accomplish it; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.

Your old coat needs a new owner.
