Dear Siblings in Christ,
I’m excited to invite you to the first layer of our Strategic Vision. It’s focused on building the soil that the seeds of the actual Strategic Vision will be planted in. It’s a series of videos that unpack the values that we have heard you say are important to you in our shared life together. These values are what you have described as the building blocks of trust—when they are present, we join together in following Jesus, and when they are absent, we break down into distrust that harms us individually, collectively, and in our witness beyond our doors.
Please join Cn. Sierra and me for this series of videos, Building Trust as a Diocesan Community: Nourishing 5 Values to Follow Jesus Together.
We will have an event every three weeks to explore one of the values by watching the videos together, talking in small groups, and sharing how we see ourselves in these values. We’ll have a spiritual practice to invite these values to grow in us, in preparation for the Strategic Vision in October at our Diocesan Convention.
Schedule: 7 p.m. – 8 p.m. Zoom — Register
