FORMATION + FELLOWSHIP

CHRISTIAN FORMATION

We know that Christian education is more than acquiring knowledge; it is about helping one another discover God’s presence in and purpose for our lives. Christian Formation provides opportunities for learning and growing together in our faith, as well as in our relationships with one another.

CURRENT FORMATION OPPORTUNITIES 

Women of the Word is a yearlong formation journey we’re taking as a community of faith. We are using A Women’s Lectionary for the Whole Church, an experimental lectionary by The Rev. Wil Gafney, Ph.D., in our worship; this lectionary inspires our formation for the year. We are learning and reflecting, being challenged and seen, praying and celebrating together, as we explore the totality of God with intentional worship, formation programs, and community gatherings this year.

At the end of this month, September 30, our Diocese will elect our 10th Bishop. As the chief priest and pastor of all Episcopalians in Southern Ohio this person plays a critical role in setting the tone for worship, governance, and engagement for our lives together.

Are you curious about the five finalists? Their passions and backgrounds? Their leadership styles? Or how the process of election works? This is the time to find out more and be engaged!

Here are three upcoming opportunities to learn more:

  • Meet the Candidates, September 14, 7 pm: The five finalists will be introducing themselves and answering questions from a moderator at St. Margaret’s Episcpoal Church, Trotwood. Join our voting delegates to hear from them directly
  • Learn About the Process of Electing a Bishop, September 24, 9 am: Our first Adult Forum of the new program year will go over the election process and give background on the candidates. Join us in the Parish Hall to share your questions or thoughts with our voting delegates
  • Results of the Bishop Election, October 1, 9 am: Our second Adult Forum will share the results of the election, scheduled for completion just the day before. We will have results to share!
For more information, including videos of the Candidates’ self-introduction and all completed Meet-and-Greet sessions, visit the Diocesan website for the Bishop Search
Please note, the election proper is open in-person to voting delegates only, all others may join via livestream
