Prayer for Camp 2025

In recent weeks, as I have traveled with the bishop around the diocese, there have been requests from a variety of people about Bible study.  For almost three years a group of people have been getting together with the bishop weekly as 'guinea pigs' to discuss and explore.  The bishop has been creating a course called "Doing & Saying".  If you are interested in looking at what he and the group have been doing you can find the course material on the diocesan website.  Go to Resources and choose Courses.  There you will find a link to the "Doing & Saying" material.  Or you can click on the picture above to go right there.  (This takes a bit of time to load.)

Here is an advertisement for our diocese.  You can check it out on different social media platforms.  Send the links to your friends, family, aquaintances, anyone you think of that would benefit.  Click on the different platforms below to see the ad.
