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. What makes them feel included in church? What makes them feel left out? What do they value most in youth group? How do they serve at church? How would they like to? Come and hear directly from the council!

SUMMARY:Going Deeper in Prayer: St. Teresa of Avila’s The Interior Castle
DESCRIPTION:To read The Interior Castle is to put yourself in the hands of an extraordinarily qualified faith mentor – Teresa of Avila – who well understands both our desire and our struggle to connect with God. Teresa’s primary metaphor throughout this book (her most famous work)\, is that the human soul is an “interior castle” or a series of “dwelling places” of great grandeur\, beauty\, and value … and it is here that we both find life with God and find nourishment for the work we are meant to do in the world. This study will reflect on the seven “dwelling places” outlined by Teresa\, one each week\, and will be led by Laurel Mathewson\, who recently published an updated edition of the text. Books available online\, at many bookshops\, or at St. Luke’s (any edition is fine!).To join\, email Mtr. Laurel to sign up and receive the zoom links: laurel@stlukesnorthpark.org.

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.
