Join us for an inspiring journey at this year's Diocesan Convention, themed "Sacred Ground: From Story to Calling." Embracing the spirit of discernment and storytelling, our gathering aims to deepen our faith journeys and engage newcomers and long-standing members alike. Featuring workshops on storytelling, discernment, and stewardship, along with special youth activities and worship enriched by tribal elements, we invite you to discover, listen, and step forward in faith. Mark your calendars and prepare to be moved as we explore what God is calling each of us to do.
