Welcome to Our Jubilee!
This year, the Episcopal Diocese of the Central Gulf Coast is celebrating its 50th Jubilee Anniversary. Each month of 2020, we have chosen a particular focus that honors our life in Christ in very special ways and highlights our theme of Remember, Reorient, Renew. 

A team of people from across our diocese has worked together to create and curate materials and resources you can use as a congregation or as individuals. We've even commissioned a hymn for congregations! All the materials were compiled into a Jubilee Toolkit (shown below) given to clergy at their annual conference earlier this month. We hope you will use these tools to support our collaborative efforts to celebrate in a unified way across our communities.

Everything you need to know is available on our website at www.diocgc.org/jubilee-celebration. Plus, we will be sending out a monthly digital newsletter.
Collect for Our Jubilee Year
Lord God of all creation, fill us with your grace as we remember your kindness and goodness towards us, through providence and through struggle; and let the trumpets proclaim the year of Jubilee, a year of the Lord’s favor, as we dedicate ourselves to reorient our mission efforts to renew your Gospel in our midst. May your Spirit inspire us, we pray in the name of your Son, Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.

February


Next Month...
The theme for February is called Our History. Taking time to remember the beginnings of our diocese provides insights into the innovative work and leadership involved in bringing together two groups of churches located in two different states. Using a historical perspective enables us to identify and consider major events and social changes reciprocally impacting our churches, our diocese and The Episcopal Church across five decades.
