 Clockwise from top left: Picture with a selfie sent to us by Bishop Barker who couldn’t make it to EYE this year, one with newly consecrated Bishop Anne Jolly of Ohio, one with our first speaker, Bishop Dean of Missouri, and one with Bishop Loya of Minnesota who we all love for his Nebraska roots. - from Dean Katie Hargis Bread & Prayer: The Future of Church Leadership in Western Nebraska  Sixteen of DioNeb's fifty parishes are planted west of North Platte. These congregations reflect the diversity of western Nebraska and our Episcopal way – celebrating the beauty of God’s creation through word and sacrament in largely rural and small-town contexts. Critically, our Episcopal churches serve their communities through impactful outreach ministries and provide safe spaces for Christians who seek a spiritual home that is open-minded and accepting. As church and population demographics change, it is essential that our parishes continue to proclaim the Good News by blooming where they're planted. Join Bishop Barker on Saturday, August 5, from 11 am – 3 pm MT, at St. Francis, Scottsbluff to explore ways that the Diocese of Nebraska can continue to ensure a healthy and bright future for the Episcopal Church in Western Nebraska. RSVP to Lachisha Baskin to attend. Lunch will be provided. Share Our Flyer  Thursday Announcements July 27, 2023  ERIN’S EPISTLETTES
