SUMMARY:Southwest Regional Staff Work Day
DESCRIPTION:In 2025\, we took important steps in reinvigorating connections across churches at the regional level in the Diocese of Southern Ohio. We experimented with Regional Staff Work Days\, in which diocesan staff traveled together to sites around the diocese\, increasing access to in-person meetings and fellowship with local leaders. At the same time\, a task force met and gathered with lay and clergy leaders for conversation and input about the ways we gather across geography\, a process that resulted in the creation of four new regions. \nAs a continuation of that investment in accessibility and connection\, the diocesan staff will once again hit the road in 2026\, offering opportunities to meet\, learn\, celebrate\, and connect beyond the walls of your own church. \nIn each region of the diocese\, the diocesan staff will be present for Staff Work Days\, offering the opportunity for drop-in fellowship and appointments with local leaders\, reducing barriers for face-to-face connection. \nSouthwest Region: Friday\, March 6 \n10-11 am – Drop-in Fellowship Hour with light snacks and coffee.\n11-3 pm – Staff available for pre-made appointments. \nNo RSVP required to join the Regional Staff Days\, but please make an appointment if wanting to meet with staff. \nSchedule with staff member \nPlease note: The Leadership Day originally scheduled for Saturday\, March 7 has been cancelled.

SUMMARY:LGBTQ+ Summit/Retreat
DESCRIPTION:In a world that often expects our silence or our sorrow\, LGBTQ+ Episcopalians and their allies are invited to gather for our second annual diocesan LGBTQ+ retreat\, a weekend of Defiant Queer Joy. \nExploring our theme\, Unbounded and Radiant: Defiant Joy for the Queer Follower of Christ\, we will examine and reclaim a truth as old as the empty tomb: that our very existence is a living testimony to the Paschal Mystery. This retreat offers a celebration of the unique ways the LGBTQ+ community mirrors the movement from the shadows of the cross to the brilliance of new life. \nThe Rev. Julia Joyce-Miesse\, rector serving St. Luke’s\, Granville\, will serve as our chaplain for the weekend with music led by Anny Stevens-Gleason\, minister for congregational development at Church of the Redeemer\, Hyde Park and member of the diocesan liturgical commission. Our time together will culminate in a celebratory Eucharist\, Bishop Kristin White celebrating. \nTogether\, we’ll create a sacred space for fellowship and teaching\, rest and play\, and further form connection with one another as fertile ground from which a revolutionary hope springs forth. Join us as we embody the truth that our joy is not just a feeling—it is a sacred\, defiant act of faith that invites the whole world into a deeper understanding of God’s transformative love. \nMarch 27-28\, 2026 \nFriday\n4 pm Check-in opens\n6 pm Dinner \nSaturday\n3:30 pm Closing Eucharist with Bishop White\n5 pm Departure \nCost \n$50/person for commuters\n$75/person for a double (shared) room\n$125/person for a single room \nScholarship assistance is available. \nWe hope to include everyone that wants to join us for the LGBTQ+ retreat.

SUMMARY:Holy Monday Service of Prayer & Public Witness
DESCRIPTION:Responding to the Presiding Bishop’s call for public worship on the Monday of Holy Week\, Bishop White invites the Dioceses of Ohio and Southern Ohio to a service of prayer and public witness inside the rotunda at the Ohio Statehouse. \nHoly Week draws Christians into the story of Jesus’ final days—days marked by courage\, confrontation with injustice\, and a steadfast commitment to love in the face of fear and violence. In this moment in our common life\, many feel the weight of division\, hostility\, and rising extremism in public life. As people of faith\, we gather not to deepen those divisions but to bear witness to another way. \nThrough prayer\, song\, and presence in the public square\, we will offer a visible reminder that the Gospel calls Christians to stand for human dignity\, mercy\, and peace. In a time when fear and anger so often dominate the conversation\, this is an opportunity for the church to proclaim that love guides the way. \nBishop White will officiate and Erika Mueller (Trinity\, Capitol Square) will lead us in song. \nMonday\, March 30\,12:15 pm \nThe Ohio Statehouse\nIn the Rotunda \n1 Capitol Sq\,\nColumbus\, OH 43215 \nRSVPs are not required. \nQuestions about this event? \nContact Sarah Beegle\, executive assistant to Bishop White\, at sbeegle@diosohio.org.
