Celebration of Bishops and Staff - June '23

Dear Diocesan friends and colleagues, 
 
As we wind our way to the end of the episcopal transition process, we write to encourage you to take part in two last transition opportunities:
 
The Bishops' Recognition Fund
We invite you to consider giving a gift to The Bishops' Recognition Fund to honor our shared companionship with Bishops Mark, Arthur, Bill, and David over the past nearly 20 years. All donations will support youth programming (Episcopal Youth Event, Bellwether youth programs, diocesan youth events) and congregational vitality (supporting financially struggling parishes so they can afford clergy). You can read more and donate here: https://www.dohio.org/the-bishops-recognition-fund. 
 
Celebration of Bishops and Staff 
All are invited to a diocesan-wide celebration of Bishop Mark, Bishop Arthur, Bishop Bill, the late Bishop David, and our retiring Bishop’s Staff members, The Revs. Percy Grant and Brad Purdom, Mr. Bill Powel and Ms. Sue Leishman, and all their colleagues on June 17 from 2:00 - 6:00 p.m. at Hathaway Brown School in Shaker Heights. This casual outdoor event, designed for all ages, will feature live music and free food trucks (including the Bellwether Airstream with ice cream). Please RSVP by June 8. 
 
We hope you'll personally participate in these opportunities as well as share them with your friends and communities. Please contact [email protected] with questions.
 
Peace,
The Rev. Jessie Gutgsell Dodson
