Connect the Dots
, a fun, new initiative to better connect Episcopalians in Southern Ohio, was launched last weekend at the annual diocesan convention.
Playing connect the dots is something we all did as kids. It was fun, relaxing and a great way to keep a kid busy. As adults, we often forget the instructional purpose of the game – how dozens of pieces can come together to form a single picture.
Let’s go back to that fun activity of our childhood and connect the dots to form a single picture of our diocesan community! For the next six months, we want to
Connect the Dots
of what it looks like to experience life with others in authentic relationships and true community. And, we’ve set up a little healthy competition to entice you to participate!
Beginning November 17 until May 30, 2020, we’re asking you to step out of the comfort of your own congregation and go and visit other churches in the diocese. We’ll help
track your visits
and the
stories you learn
along the way. Each visit will earn your congregation an entry into a drawing. The more you visit, the more entries your church earns!
Then, during the first week in June, Bishop Breidenthal will draw the winning entry – that congregation will receive $1,000 to use toward an outreach project in their church! But that’s not all – they will also be able to nominate one of the churches they visited to also receive $1,000 toward their outreach ministries!
Learn more, or submit your “virtual postcards” at
www.dsoconnectthedots.org
. Convention delegates picked up a starting kit at convention; congregations should watch their mail for more materials in the coming weeks!

An Advent Procession with Lessons and Carols
Sunday, December 1, 5 p.m

This beautiful service is a wonderful way to begin the season of waiting for Christ’s birth. It is built around the seven Great “O” Antiphons that were traditionally sung at Vespers on the seven days prior to Christmas and eventually became the seven stanzas of the familiar Advent hymn “O Come, O Come, Emmanuel.”
