Arc of Renewal: Diocesan Convention

Mark your calendars — our Diocesan Convention this October is not one to miss. It will be short, but it will be packed, and it will set the course for our shared ministry in the years ahead.

Together we will present a transparent, clearer 2027 budget and a newly structured, plain-language view of our diocesan finances — so every parish can see exactly where we stand and where we're headed. We will introduce a new way of supporting our churches, welcome our new Camp Director, and chart a renewed path forward for a diocese determined to live our call faithfully in this volatile time.

I will lead us through the Arc of Renewal now taking shape across our diocese — where we've been, where we are, and where God is calling us next. And we're honored to welcome Dr. Chris Roth, CEO of St. Luke's, as our keynote speaker.

Because this convention is short and dense with information and action items, we need your full, attentive participation — every delegate, every voice, every hand. This is how we move from planning to action, together.

And yes — we're planning our schedule so you can get home in time for All Hallows' Eve. Dress as your favorite saint, or just have fun with it.

Please hold this convention in prayer between now and October. We need more hands and hearts to live fully into what God is calling us to be.

See you there.
