SUMMARY:ECM Round 1 grant cycle opens
DESCRIPTION:Episcopal Community Ministries (ECM)\, our diocese’s outreach arm\, offers grants to multiple congregation-affiliated outreach ministries\, including food banks\, community gardens\, community meals\, tutoring programs\, human trafficking victim support services and medical debt relief. \nECM desires to support our congregations that support their neighbors as reflected in ECM’s purpose statement: \nThe mission of the Episcopal Community Ministries is to inspire and support each other in the living out of our Baptismal Covenant through active\, generous\, and committed congregations and their outward looking ministries. \nThe ECM Committee is pleased to announce the dates of the two grant cycles for 2026: \n\nRound I: Application opens on February 1 and closes on March 1.\nRound II: Application opens on June 1 and closes on July 1.\n\nThe following are some of the basic criteria to apply: \n\nCongregational Commitment – the requesting congregation must demonstrate committed and impactful support of the ministry both financially and through the active and significant participation of its parishioners.\nThe Congregation is in “good standing” as determined by canon. This status includes being current in Mission Share contributions\, and having up‐to‐date submissions of the Parochial Report\, Diocesan Annual Reporting Form\, and parish audit.\nThe ministry to be funded addresses a vital need in the community.\n\nECM grants are funded by an annual draw from the Blanchard Memorial Endowment Fund established by the trustees of the diocese\, and by donations from congregations and individuals. Every dollar donated to ECM goes to local church outreach ministries helping their neighbors in need. \nTo apply for a grant\, learn more about the grant criteria\, and become more familiar with ECM\, please visit diosohio.org/episcopal-community-ministries.

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

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.

SUMMARY:African Americans and the Bible Book Study
DESCRIPTION:Tuesdays in April from 6-7:30 pm on Zoom\nJoin the Episcopal Diocese of Southern Ohio this April for an engaging and transformative formation opportunity: African Americans and the Bible. \nThis four-week study invites participants into a deeper understanding of the historical and cultural relationship between African Americans and Holy Scripture. Grounded in The Talking Book by Allen Dwight Callahan\, this course explores how African Americans encountered\, interpreted\, proclaimed\, and embodied the Bible in the midst of enslavement and the ongoing struggle for freedom and dignity. \nFor generations\, the Bible has been more than a sacred text in African American communities—it has been a source of hope\, resistance\, identity\, spiritual wrestling\, and spiritual power. Together\, we will examine how this “talking book” has shaped faith\, worship\, preaching\, and public witness. Participants will gain a richer appreciation for Scripture as it has been read and lived through the cultural lens of African Americans\, broadening and deepening their own engagement with the Word of God. \nWhether you are clergy\, a lay leader\, or someone seeking to grow in faith and understanding\, this study offers space for learning\, reflection\, and meaningful conversation. Come ready to listen\, to learn\, and to encounter the Bible anew. We look forward to walking this journey together. \n\nQuestions about this event and program?\n\nContact the Rev. Aaron Rogers\, missioner for Black ministries\, at arogers@diosohio.org. \nRegistration \nThere is no cost for this program and no deadline to register.

SUMMARY:African Americans and the Bible Book Study
DESCRIPTION:Tuesdays in April from 6-7:30 pm on Zoom\nJoin the Episcopal Diocese of Southern Ohio this April for an engaging and transformative formation opportunity: African Americans and the Bible. \nThis four-week study invites participants into a deeper understanding of the historical and cultural relationship between African Americans and Holy Scripture. Grounded in The Talking Book by Allen Dwight Callahan\, this course explores how African Americans encountered\, interpreted\, proclaimed\, and embodied the Bible in the midst of enslavement and the ongoing struggle for freedom and dignity. \nFor generations\, the Bible has been more than a sacred text in African American communities—it has been a source of hope\, resistance\, identity\, spiritual wrestling\, and spiritual power. Together\, we will examine how this “talking book” has shaped faith\, worship\, preaching\, and public witness. Participants will gain a richer appreciation for Scripture as it has been read and lived through the cultural lens of African Americans\, broadening and deepening their own engagement with the Word of God. \nWhether you are clergy\, a lay leader\, or someone seeking to grow in faith and understanding\, this study offers space for learning\, reflection\, and meaningful conversation. Come ready to listen\, to learn\, and to encounter the Bible anew. We look forward to walking this journey together. \n\nQuestions about this event and program?\n\nContact the Rev. Aaron Rogers\, missioner for Black ministries\, at arogers@diosohio.org. \nRegistration \nThere is no cost for this program and no deadline to register. The first ten people to register will receive a complimentary copy of The Talking Book by Dr. Callahan. \nREGISTER HERE

SUMMARY:Central 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. \nCentral Region: Friday\, April 24 \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

This status includes being current in Mission Share contributions\, and having up‐to‐date submissions of the Parochial Report\, Diocesan Annual Reporting Form\, and parish audit.\nThe ministry to be funded addresses a vital need in the community.\n\nECM grants are funded by an annual draw from the Blanchard Memorial Endowment Fund established by the trustees of the diocese\, and by donations from congregations and individuals.

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. \nEastern Region: Friday\, July 24\, Good Shepherd\, Athens \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
