Diocese of the Rio Grande: Fall Gathering
If you have ever wanted to learn how the Biblical history of refugees and migration impacts our response today, this is the event for you. We'll see how Rio Grande Borderlands Ministry is being God's hands and heart to asylum seekers at the border.
All women in the diocese, and friends (men too), are invited to Loved Like Me, the Annual Diocesan Women's Ministry Gathering on October 25-27.
(Previously advertised for Oct. 18-20, we changed the dates so that Hannah Curtis can be one of the leaders. Her plans changed when she learned she and Canon Lee will need to be in the diocese of WTX for the election of the suffragan bishop.)
This year we are at St. Francis on the Hill (6280 Los Robles) and St. Christopher's (300 Riverside Dr), El Paso to learn about Borderlands Ministry. We will experience some of what asylum seekers face, hear about the men, women, and children the ministry serves, and discern how we can support this vital ministry. Hannah Curtis, the Rev. Kristin Kopren, the Rev. Ana Reza, and the Rev. Sondra Jones will be our leaders.
We’ll begin at 5PM on Friday evening at St. Francis on the Hill with a light meal, and end around 7PM on Saturday, after dinner at St. Christopher’s. A visit to the shelter at St. Christopher's will be part of the experience.
In-person participation is encouraged, although presentations will be available on Zoom. Plan to stay for Sunday to hear Hannah Curtis preach at St. Christopher’s at 10AM.
Download a flyer to post at your church and share with friends.
