March 22 Episcopal Relief & Development Sunday
The Most Rev. Michael B. Curry, Presiding Bishop and Primate of The Episcopal Church, encourages congregations and supporters to support the ONE THOUSAND DAYS OF LOVE
campaign through observance of
Episcopal Relief & Development Sunday
.
“Lent is a time of reflection and of following Jesus, demonstrating his love for the world,” said Presiding Bishop Curry. “I invite all congregations to devote a Sunday in Lent to reflect on the transformational work of Episcopal Relief & Development, particularly their work with children, and to tangibly demonstrate God’s love by giving generously to support ONE THOUSAND DAYS OF LOVE.”
Bishop Breidenthal has selected the fourth Sunday in Lent
(March 22) as Episcopal Relief & Development Sunday in the Diocese of Southern Ohio. Everything you need to organize this event for your congregation is available at

Lent 2020: A Call to Prayer, Fasting and Repentance Leading to Action
As the season of Lent approaches, Episcopal Church Presiding Bishop Michael Curry invites Episcopalians and people of faith to turn and pray on behalf of our nation:
“In times of great national concern and urgency, people of faith have returned to ancient practices of repentance, prayer and fasting as ways of interceding with God on behalf of their nation and the world. This is such a moment for us in the United States.
“On Ash Wednesday I will join with other Christian leaders observing this Lent as a season of prayer, fasting and repentance on behalf of our nation, with continued fasting each Wednesday until the Wednesday before Advent begins."

Bishop's Lenten Series
March 18, 25, April 1
WHOSE PROPERTY IS IT ANYWAY?
We often think about Lent as a time to give things up. But this begs the deeper question: what is ours to give up? What actually belongs to us, and how has Christianity traditionally approached the notion of private property?
This three-week series presented by Bishop Thomas Breidenthal will look at some early Christian answers to this ancient question, and how these answers may offer guidance as we struggle with immigration policy, homelessness, and reparations.
The series will be live-streamed so that all in the diocese can participate.
