I Will With God's Help: Journey Toward Racial Healing and Justice Workshop – Registration Now Open
This workshop is rooted in our baptismal identity and the promises we make in baptism. It focuses on how we can more fully live into our promise to be loving toward our neighbors, to address racism in our communities and build the Beloved Community. During the workshop we follow the path of the Becoming Beloved Community labyrinth.
This workshop meets the requirement for licensing for Lay Eucharistic Ministers, Lay Eucharistic Visitors, and unlicensed lay leaders (such as vestry members and ministry leads) in the Diocese. Other lay licensed ministries need to take Sacred Ground to meet Diocesan licensing requirements.
All Classes are on Saturdays from 9:30 am – 4:30 pm:
MAY 11 | St. Michael's, Carmichael
JUNE 8 | Zoom
JUNE 22 | St. Peter’s, Red Bluff
SEPTEMBER 14 | Trinity Cathedral
