This fall, Ohio Episcopal Area Executive Directors are heading around Ohio, and we’d love the chance to sit down with clergy and laity along the way. Leading these conversations, with other Executive Directors joining as they are able, are:
Rev. Beth Ortiz, Executive Director of Discipleship Ministries
Rev. Karen Cook, Executive Director of Connectional Ministries
Rev. Ed Fashbaugh, Executive Director of Leadership Wellness & Renewal
Rev. Donnetta Peaks, Executive Director of Office of Ministry
The purpose is pretty simple: we want to meet you and hear what you’re experiencing.
- Where are you seeing hope and possibility in your church or community?
- What’s challenging right now?
- What are you trying to figure out?
- What could we do to come alongside you?
This is also a chance to get to know one another. We’ll share a little about our offices and work, but the conversation will be shaped by what you want to share, ask, and talk about.
These aren’t presentations or trainings. They’re conversations. We’ll grab some coffee, spend 90 minutes or less together, and listen to what you have to say.
We have eight locations confirmed across Ohio, with more being added, plus two evening Zoom conversations for those who can’t join us in person.
And if you’re making the drive, we’d like to help with that too. The first 25 people who register at each in-person location will receive a $15 gas card.
Pick the place that works for you and come talk with us.
We’d really like to hear what you have to say.
