🚨 Scam Alert 🚨

We’ve been made aware of suspicious emails and invitations appearing to come from “Punchbowl.” These messages may include digital cards, invitations, gift notices, or event links claiming to be sent from leaders in our Diocese.

Please use caution before clicking:
🔹 Double check the sender’s email address
🔹 Avoid opening unexpected links or attachments
🔹 Be cautious of messages creating urgency or confusion
🔹 When in doubt, contact the sender another way first

Scam emails are getting increasingly convincing, especially when they imitate legitimate services. A healthy dose of skepticism is good digital stewardship.

Stay safe out there, friends.

There is so much joy in this photo! We've got full hearts to East Central Synod of Wisconsin - ELCA!

Full communion partners and full hearts! This week the synod staff spent some time in retreat for centering, connection, and coaching and just so happened to run into some very good friends who were gathered at the same time in the same place. Many thanks to Bishop Matt and our episco-pals of the Episcopal Diocese of Wisconsin for letting us join you in worship. (Did we mention how good it was to see Pastor Brian and Mother Jane, who are connected to both our synod and the diocese?!)

We’re so glad to welcome Fr. Cam Walker—a return that feels a lot like coming home in spite of the coming season of mud and construction!

With deep Wisconsin roots, this next chapter is grounded in something meaningful: joining a community already rich in faith and stepping into the unfolding work God is doing here. We’re grateful for the ministry that’s come before and excited for what’s ahead. Welcome, Fr. Cam!

A few quick fun facts:
🍎Serving All Saints Episcopal Church in Appleton!
🧀 Cheese curds are a must (with frozen custard close behind)
🛍️ Loves thrifting and the thrill of an unexpected find
🌊 Happiest near the water—ready to explore Wisconsin’s lakes
📦 Currently in a committed relationship with unpacked boxes (progress pending…)
🕺 Deep and unapologetic love for disco—will find or create a dance floor

There’s something powerful about the small, sacred moments—good conversation, shared laughter, showing up for one another—and we’re excited for the ways those moments will continue to grow here.

👇 Help us welcome them!

It’s VERY grey out today. The kind of day where the sky forgot to have a personality, and the coffee is doing all the heavy lifting. Also the kind of day where a bit of encouragement may be needed.

So, friends, here’s your dose of uplift for today. If you’ve ever wondered what difference the Church actually makes in someone’s life, this is a story worth reading—honest, hopeful, and a reminder that grace shows up in real, everyday ways.

✨ Hold Them in Prayer This Saturday ✨

This Saturday, April 18, at 10am the Kettle Moraine Region will gather for a Confirmation & Reception Service at St. Aidan’s Episcopal Church in Hartford—a joyful moment of commitment, belonging, and faith.

As they take this next step, we invite you—across Washington, Dodge, Waukesha, Jefferson, Fond du Lac counties, and throughout the diocese—to lift up the confirmands and those being received in your prayers.

🙏 Pray for courage as they say yes.
🙏 Pray for community to surround them.
🙏 Pray for the Spirit to guide what comes next.

Even if you can’t be there in person, your prayers are part of what makes this moment holy. If you can be there in person, please come!

Let’s be the kind of Church that shows up—not just in the room, but in spirit—for one another.

🎄 Merry Christmas from DioWis 🎄

Christ is born.
The coffee’s on.
The roads are “not great, but manageable.”

This is the good news of Christmas: God shows up right where we are — in real life, real weather, and real people. Not once everything is perfect. Not when the house is quiet. Just… here.

So take it slow, bring a dish if you’re heading somewhere, help shovel if you get there early, and be kind to the folks you’re with — especially the ones you love the most. Use the nice cool whip containers for the leftovers.

Emmanuel is with us.
Merry Christmas.
Drive safe now...ya here?
