Regional Discernment Group Training
2024-03-02 09:00 - 12:00 | Zoom
When was the last time someone stopped everything to listened to you? They put down their phones, turned off the T.V., turned their bodies towards you, and listened intently to you? Listening is world altering gift. If you have the gift of listening I am asking you to join a Regional Discernment Group (RDG). We especially need people in the Russian River Deanery and Capital Deanery to join RDGs. We need people who are willing to listen and discern people’s calling. Deep listening acts as a mirror to help people see themselves and one of the greatest gifts you can give.
Please sign up here for the training on March 2nd.
Please contact The Rev. Anny Genato, pastoranny@staugustineepiscopal.com, if you have any questions.

What are Regional Collaboration Round-Tables?
Our Deanery in-person Convocation is a wonderful opportunity not only to get to know each other but also to build ministry-based relationships among our congregations. We have diverse abilities, experiences, and programs that we want to be able to share with each other from Christian formation to community outreach, altar to gardens and beyond. At our in-person Convocation this October we will have some directed round-table discussion about the unique gifts and strengths each congregation brings to their deanery and where we might be able to support or collaborate with each other. These Regional Collaboration Round-Tables will generate ideas and connections, as well as provide information we can pass on to the Office of the Bishop to strengthen our parishes. For this event we will be coordinating facilitators to make the most of our discussion, and we look forward to our time together. – The Regional Collaboration Team
