Sweet love of God, if I should sleep too long
And neglect all good things,
Awaken me and sing, for the sweet music with which
You touch my soul delights me.

Dear Beloved People of God – the Rocky Mountain Region family:

As we celebrate the gifts of summer, we rejoice that the winds of Sophia Spirit have stirred among us in our collective “Yes” to call a local bishop. I am honored and humbled by the leadership gifts you recognize and call forth in me. I stand with you, excited and ready to serve our “household” or regional family...
...Now what?
I have a question for you!!! “

As a member of our region, what do you expect, need or want from me, your local bishop, in the next six months or year?”

(Respond via this link or directly to Mother Kae via her email)
