Tijuana Full Day Service & Learning Trip
2023-06-25 08:30 - 18:00
Partner with your neighbors to care for refugees and migrants this summer! World Refugee Day (June 20, 2023) is a perfect time to seek out new opportunities to serve those far from the land they call home and cherished by God. As part of the Year of Service, partner with your congregation and engage in a service activity related to care for migrants and refugees. Scripture speaks to God’s affection for—and how God’s people are to care for—refugees and immigrants (often referred to as “strangers” in the Bible) over 50 times. Due to our proximity to the U.S.-Mexico border and the many services provided in metro San Diego, our diocese has a significant number of refugees and immigrants from Latin America as well as from around the globe. This is a great opportunity to be the church outside your church walls, to connect with your neighbors in service! Check out the Year of Service webpage to learn more.

Parking will be available at the Cathedral (525 Olive), and at St. Paul’s Senior Services at 3rd and Maple.

So, Uber or have someone drop you off, but do not try to find parking anywhere in Hillcrest that morning. Wear sunscreen, comfy shoes, we will have water on the trolley. The parade staging area is at the DMV on Normal Street.
There is limited space on the trolley for those who are walking impaired. Please reach out to Susan Jester for more information at jesters@stpaulcathedral.org

Godly Play Training Retreat
2023-08-11 15:00 - 2023-08-13 17:00 | Episcopal Church Center
The Episcopal Diocese of San Diego is pleased to offer a Godly Play Core Training Retreat on August 11-13, 2023. Summer is the perfect time to plan and prepare to welcome families in the Fall. This retreat will allow congregations the opportunity to refresh their training and to bring new storytellers and door holders into the fold.
Over the course of the retreat, participants will experience all aspects of the Godly Play method and begin to become fluent in the Godly Play core stories and fundamental practices. Additionally, Godly Play’s guiding Theology of Childhood is introduced, so participants become more deeply connected to their work. The circle of participants becomes very strong and trustworthy when this work is done in the closed environment of a several-day retreat, and participants enjoy spiritual renewal and lasting friendships. Last year’s training had participants from across the diocese. This year, we are hoping to increase the participants and the connections that come from doing this deep work together. Godly Play Core Training is $75 for members of the Episcopal Diocese of San Diego, and $355 for those outside of our diocese.

Space is limited. Please register below.
