SUMMARY:BIPOC Leadership Link-Up
DESCRIPTION:The Bible is filled with stories of God bringing together leaders of unique backgrounds and common interests in order to bring about life-giving change. Ruth and Naomi\, Mary and Elizabeth in the Gospel of Luke\, or the gathering of the disciples in the Gospels and the Acts of the Apostles\, are all examples of God nurturing connection for God’s own transformation. \nMany of us know firsthand the importance of co-creating trusted\, sacred spaces of mutual support for people of similar circumstances. Think of your congregation’s men’s group\, women’s group or youth group\, and how these ministries have nurtured the faith journeys of those involved. Leaders of color\, or leaders from ethnic-minority backgrounds\, may long for their own trusted\, sacred space. \nAnd so\, BIPOC (Black\, Indigenous\, People of Color) leaders from EDSD’s various congregations are invited to link up on Saturday\, Feb. 8 from 2-4 PM at Cafe X to make new friends and cultivate connections. There will be space for mingling and networking\, as well as for large-group structured conversation. Light snacks will be provided\, and beverages will be available for purchase at Cafe X’s coffee bar. We hope you’ll join us for this landmark event. \nBIPOC Leadership Link-Up \n\nWhen: Saturday\, Feb. 8\, 2025\, 2-4 PM\nWhere: Cafe X – 1835 Imperial Ave.\, San Diego\, CA 92102\nCo-hosted by: Alyson Terry – Resurrection\, Ocean Beach; Karla Chavez – St. Matthew’s\, National City; Stephen Arturo Greenlaw – St. Luke’s\, North Park; Rachel Ambasing\, EDSD\n\nQuestions? Contact Rachel Ambasing\, EDSD’s Missioner for Community Vitality & Diversity: rambasing@edsd.org \nHelp us plan accordingly by registering at the button below. \nRegister Here \n

SUMMARY:John Philip Newell Weekend
DESCRIPTION:Spend a weekend at Camp Stevens with John Philip Newell! February 21-23\n\nIn 2016 John Philip Newell began a teaching initiative of annual retreats to help reawaken awareness of the sacred in all things through the recovery of Celtic wisdom for today and to help translate this awareness into compassionate action in our lives and world. \nCeltic Wisdom 1 is the first of a three-part series of annual retreats led by the Celtic teacher John Philip Newell and his colleague Cami Twilling. In it\, we explore the sacredness of every human being\, the sacredness of the feminine\, and the sacredness of Earth. \nThe teachings of this retreat are based on John Philip’s award-winning book Sacred Earth Sacred Soul: Celtic Wisdom for Reawakening to What Our Souls Know and Healing the World (especially Chapters 1\, 2\, and 7 drawing on the wisdom of Pelagius\, Brigid\, and Teilhard de Chardin). \nJohn Philip Newell’s Sacred Earth Sacred Soul is the essential text for the three-year Celtic Wisdom program. The shared prayer book for this program is Sounds of the Eternal: A Celtic Psalter. \nCeltic Wisdom 1 can be taken as a stand-alone retreat or in conjunction with Celtic Wisdom 2 and Celtic Wisdom 3 which can be attended in any order and at any of our retreat centers nationwide or online. \nWe are partnering with our neighbors at Sacred Mountain Ranch (https://www.sacredmountainjulian.com/julian) to provide additional upscale accommodations. Choose the commuter rate and stay close by! Contact Sacred Mountain Ranch directly. Discounted options are available with code: b082132

SUMMARY:Leadership Academy 2025
DESCRIPTION:Join us on March 1 for Leadership Academy\, a day dedicated to learning\, growth\, and connection within our diocesan community. This is an opportunity for clergy and lay leaders—both new and experienced—to come together\, explore new ideas\, and develop skills for impactful ministry. One of the most remarkable blessings of our diocese is the depth of wisdom and talent within its leaders\, and Leadership Academy celebrates and builds upon that shared strength. \nBeginning the day with Holy Eucharist in the sanctuary of St Dunstan’s Episcopal Church in San Diego\, we will ground ourselves in worship and prepare for a day of learning. Throughout the day\, there will be opportunities to connect with friends and colleagues from across the diocese\, deepening the relationships that support our shared ministry. We will close with a time of reflection\, centering God in all that we do and marking our commitment to serve with courage and love. \nLeadership Academy offers the chance to choose\, à la carte\, from three tracks\, each designed to inspire and equip you for leadership in diverse contexts. \nSTORYTELLING \nCrafting Compelling Narratives for Ministry \nExplore how storytelling captures attention and keeps readers engaged. This session will demonstrate the power of weaving a consistent narrative layer into your long-form content to attract and retain a loyal readership. Learn practical techniques for making your writing more compelling and memorable. \nStories in Motion: Lessons from A Case for Love \nJoin Grace Based Films Director Brian Ide\, whose recent nationwide release A Case For Love has captivated audiences\, for an engaging session on video storytelling. Using excerpts from the film\, we’ll explore how to share impactful stories through video\, focusing on techniques that resonate and inspire. Whether you’re new to video or looking to enhance your skills\, this workshop will provide valuable insights into crafting authentic and compelling visual narratives. \nThe Art of Visual Storytelling \nDiscover the art of storytelling through photography. This session will explore how each photo tells a unique story\, covering photography basics and why photos look the way they do. Learn how to use images effectively to share the mission and vision of your church with authenticity and impact. \nWELCOME \nAccessibility in Action \nJoin the Accessibility Group from St. Dunstan’s as they share their journey toward creating an inclusive and welcoming campus. This session will explore their innovative efforts\, including a creative video\, assistance for people with hearing loss\, ramps and wheelchair-accessible seating\, large-print materials\, gluten-free communion options\, and a quiet room for sensory-sensitive individuals. Learn practical strategies and gain inspiration for making your church more accessible to all. \nRhythms of Grace – Worship that engages across the spectrum of neurodiversity \nJoin members from St. Brigid’s Oceanside will tell stories of their work embracing neurodiversity and promoting inclusion in their worship spaces.  \n“The Episcopal Church Welcomes You”: Becoming the Church We Say We Are \n“The Episcopal Church Welcomes You” is a slogan emblazoned on many of our congregational signs\, promotional materials\, and websites. This workshop features leaders from Uptown Community Services\, EDSD’s LGBTQIA+ Inclusion Taskforce\, and EDSD’s multicultural congregations. You are invited to this honest\, reflective and generative conversation on how we can better live into our declaration of Christ-like welcome. \nFOUNDATIONS \nSafe Church\, Safe Communities  \nThis session focuses on the Church’s responsibility to ensure safety\, integrity\, and trust within its community. Participants will receive training on ethical and theological expectations placed on church workers/volunteers\, the impact of misconduct\, and the Church’s commitment to creating spaces where individuals and families are secure and valued. Safe Church\, Safe Communities training is required for all volunteer and employment positions throughout the diocese. This training will take place over two workshop times. In order to complete all the necessary aspects of the training and receive a certificate\, you must attend both sessions. \nYouth Faith Formation – Beyond Grub and Games \nMembers of the EDSD Youth Leadership Council will hold this informative session addressing many of the questions we hear most often.

SUMMARY:Student Music Scholarship Concert
DESCRIPTION:For over a dozen years\, Trinity Church has hosted a benefit concert to support the American Guild of Organists Student Scholarship Fund. The concert donations help students\, young and old\, learn to play the “King of Instruments” and encourage them to consider becoming involved in church music. Auditions are held each May with the winners receiving receiving funds to help with music lessons. This is more important now than ever before as there are very few organists available to supply music for worship. \nThis year’s program will be “An Organ and Choir Exposition”…meaning that it will be both entertaining and educational. The organists will be performing works from Bach to the Beatles and from Durufle to Danny Boy\, with brief comments on how the composers actually use the organ. We hope to inspire interest in both the music and the King of Instruments. Organists performing include Michael Munson\, Howard McCullough\, Carol Graham\, Henry Doktorski\, Ronel Wishnuff and David Lewis. The 50 voice San Luis Rey Chorale will perform a section of the concert showcasing the many\, varied ways that the organ has been used as accompaniment. Choral works by Mendelssohn\, Durufle and Handel will be presented. Students will be invited to sit beside the organ console to have an “up close and personal” experience. The entire audience will be invited to sing along for the Hallelujah Chorus for a grand finale. Coffee and cookies will follow.\nThe suggested donation is just $10.00 at the door. No advance tickets needed. For more information call our organist\, David Lewis\, at 619-537-9040.  Trinity Episcopal Church is located at 845 Chestnut Street in Escondido.

SUMMARY:A Special Movie Event – A Case for Love\, Pt. 1
DESCRIPTION:You’re Invited: A Special Movie Event – A Case for Love \nIn a time when our world feels increasingly divided\, A Case for Love invites us to explore a powerful question: Can unselfish love heal what divides us? \nInspired by Bishop Michael Curry—known for his moving sermon on “The Power of Love” at the royal wedding of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle—this documentary journeys across the U.S.\, uncovering stories of everyday people living selflessly. Through heartfelt interviews with individuals\, public figures like Pete Buttigieg\, Al Roker\, and Sam Waterston\, and reflections from Bishop Curry himself\, the film explores love in action across topics like racial justice\, military service\, foster care\, food insecurity\, and more. \nDirector Brian Ide shares that the film was born from a personal calling to respond to the growing disunity in our culture. With Bishop Curry’s words as a guide— “When love is the way… there’s plenty of room for all of God’s children”—the documentary invites us all to reflect: Is unselfish love truly the antidote we’ve been searching for? \nWe’ll be watching the film in three segments\, giving space for reflection\, discussion\, and connection. Your presence is welcome and meaningful\, whether you can attend one session or all three. Each session stands on its own\, so you won’t miss out if life gets in the way one week! \nMovie Schedule (2:00 – 3:30 PM):\n– Part 1: Saturday\, May 31\n– Part 2: Saturday\, June 14\n– Part 3: Saturday\, June 21 \nEach session begins in the church sanctuary for the film viewing\, followed by refreshments and group discussion in the Parish Hall. \nLocation: All Saints Episcopal Church\n651 Eucalyptus Ave.\nVista\, CA 92084 \nRSVP helpful but not required: office@allsaintsvista.org  \n“If it’s not about love\, it’s not about God.” -Bishop Michael Curry \n“And now these three remain: faith\, hope\, and love. But the greatest of these is love.” -1 Corinthians 13:13 \nCome for the message. Come for the fellowship. Come for the love.\nLet’s explore together what it means to live a life guided by grace and goodness.
