Diocesan Presidents from across the Province recently gathered on a conference call to learn about plans for the Provincial Google site to help with communication, and hear about newly released guides for Presidents and Chaplains. Also the new 2012 Handbook is available from the National DOK office!
An important part of any organization is the fellowship that comes from getting together. Province VII is large-extending from NM to LA and north to the Diocese of W Missouri. Few of us will have a chance to visit all over the Province-but we CAN come together for Assembly on April 5-7 in Oklahoma City. The Theme is "Feed My Sheep" with the focus on our Rule of Prayer. Registration will be $75 and there are special rates at nearby hotels. You can check out times and schedules in this Save the Date announcement.
The business portion of the Assembly is a very small part of the entire time. Most of the event will involve breakout sessions by various speakers (including Diocese of the Rio Grande President Cindy Davis). This is a model we hope to emulate in the diocesan assembly this year (August 2-3).
Attending Provincial Assembly is a rewarding experience, as those who have attended in the past can attest. The registration forms for the Province VII Assembly will be posted to the Provincial website in the near future. Also, if we have enough interest, we will investigate the idea of a bus or van-pool to Oklahoma. (It would probably be about $100/person to rent a full sized van.)
