STORY CIRCLE - Join us at St. James Episcopal Church, Tuesday September 8, at 6 pm with Free Dinner.

What to expect:
A Story Circle is a small group of individuals sitting in a circle, sharing stories - usually from their own experience or imagination - focusing on a common theme. As each person in turn shares a story, a richer and more complex story emerges. By the end, people see both real differences and things their stories have in common. A Story Circle is a journey into its theme, with multiple dimensions, twists, and turns. Each Story Circle is unique and can take on the energy of the group. They can support perspective taking, empathy, cultural humility, listening, courage, vulnerability and healing.
Story Circles can help us find a way to sit alongside each other and develop empathy.

Overall Concept: “Pray. Serve. Love.” .

The central message: Prayer changes us, and changed people change the world.

It is an exciting time for our diocese. With the recent election of Fr. David Sibley as Bishop-elect, the Standing Committee and Transition Committee now turn their attention to the details of the Ordination of our next bishop.

Because of scheduling conflicts with the Presiding Bishop's office, we have agreed to set the date and time for the Ordination as January 23, 2027, at 10 a.m., at Christ Church Cathedral, Lexington. Please put this on your calendars and share the date!
