The Episcopal Diocese of San Diego is pleased to offer a Godly Play Core Training Retreat on July 12-14, 2024. 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.
Throughout 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.
Over the last several years, we have had participants from across the diocese. This year, we are hoping to further expand the circle 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.
The times for each training day are below. You must attend all three days of the training in order to receive a certificate of completion.
Friday, July 12, 3 PM – 9 PM
Saturday, July 13, 9 AM – 5:30 PM
Sunday, July 14, 12 PM – 5:30 PM

Wear Orange - June 9
2024-06-09
#WearOrange, Sunday – June 9
Thousands of our American brothers and sisters will wear orange at events on June 7, 8, and 9 to support National Gun Violence Awareness weekend and honor survivors and victims of gun violence. Let us take time as a faith community to pray for those who have lost their lives to gun violence and those who have survived and/or have been traumatized by the epidemic of gun violence in our country. May our prayers lead us to commitment and actions to reduce this epidemic. We invite you to join with the Diocesan Gun Safety Working Group and Wear Orange for Weekend Services on Saturday and Sunday, June 8 and 9. Learn more about Wear Orange Sunday and what more you can do to support gun violence prevention at the Bishop’s United Against Gun Violence website (https://bishopsagainstgunviolence.org/), and the Episcopal Peace Fellowship website (https://www.episcopalpeacefellowship.net/).
Why orange?
On January 21st, 2013, Hadiya Pendleton, a 15-year-old high school student from the south side of Chicago – marched in President Obama’s 2nd inaugural parade. One week later, after finishing final exams, Hadiya was shot and killed a mile from the Obamas’ Hyde Park home. Hadiya’s friends asked their classmates to commemorate Hadiya’s life – and the lives of hundreds claimed by Chicago’s gun violence each year – by wearing orange. They chose orange because hunters wear the color in the woods to protect themselves and others. Now, many in the gun violence prevention community choose to wear orange in memory of those we have lost, and as a symbol of standing against gun violence and in favor of reasonable gun sale and ownership regulations. On June 9th let’s honor the more than 43,000 Americans that are killed with guns and approximately 76,000 more that are shot and wounded every year. So, join in and Wear Orange and bring awareness to the epidemic of Gun Violence.
