Diocesan Winter Family Camp 2020
We are very excited to announce that January 3-5, we will have our second annual diocesan Winter Family Camp: Christmas in the Pines, a Family Retreat! We will end the twelve days of Christmas and celebrate Epiphany together at beautiful Chapel Rock. Family Camps are a perfect way for families with kids of all ages (and families with no kids) to spend time together, build new connections with others from throughout the state, and experience Christ’s love through community in a special way. Learn more and register. Diocesan Convention Videos
The videos of Rev. Canon Scott Gunn’s Keynote, Bishop Reddall’s Address, and Rev. Canon Anita Braden’s Sermon are now available on our YouTube channel.
Property Insurance and the Episcopal Safety Program
[Church Ins] Taking care of an organization’s property can be an enormous responsibility. There’s so much to consider! A church may house an antique pipe organ and valuable artwork or have intricate and delicate stained glass windows–and that’s in addition to upkeep of the regular meeting spaces and utilities. Most organizations rely on volunteers, such as sextons and junior wardens, to keep their property safe and in working order. How can any one person tackle such a job? Church Insurance provides assistance. Read more. La Academia Conference Cancelled
Those who were registered to attend the Entrenamiento en la Ciudad de Albuquerque, Nuevo Mexico from November 21-24, 2019, please note that the event has been postponed. Organizers are planning to rescheduled it for February 2020.
