SUMMARY:Happening #186
DESCRIPTION:The Happening Experience\nA Happening is a once-in-a-lifetime experience. Through this experience\, the Happening encourages participation in one’s own parish and youth group. Is Christianity relevant to youth today? Can it penetrate the many areas of school life? Can it transform the world and keep up with changing times? The Happening movement thinks so. It does not propose a new type of spirituality but provides a method through which one’s spirituality may be developed\, nourished\, lived\, and shared in fellowship with Christians willing to dedicate their lives to God in an ongoing manner. The Happening movement believes that Jesus Christ has and will continue to make a difference in the world and in individual lives. Those attending Happening listen to thought-provoking and challenging talks given by members of the staff and clergy. These talks are designed to help the Happeners get to know God. After each talk\, the opportunity is given for questions and discussion in small groups. \nInstrument of Renewal\nThe Happening Movement is a powerful instrument of renewal in the Church. Its purpose is to concentrate closely on the person and teaching of Jesus Christ. Our faith is seriously examined in a relaxed\, fun\, informal\, and loving atmosphere. The Happening weekend is an experience that gives those who attend the desire to understand and serve God through his Church. \nFor questions regarding Happening\, contact:\nhappening@epicenter.org

SUMMARY:Trinity Episcopal Church Celebrates 175th Anniversary with Special Service

Following worship\, attendees will gather for a festive procession\, catered lunch\, music and fellowship.

Dana M. Jean. “We are grateful for their legacy and committed to carrying it forward with joy.”  \n  \nFounded on Jan. 4\, 1851\, Trinity Episcopal Church has played a vital role in the spiritual and civic life of Marshall for nearly two centuries. What began as a mission to serve Texas and Pacific railroad workers and their families has grown into a vibrant\, multigenerational congregation. Today\, under the leadership of the Rev. Dana M. Jean\, Trinity Episcopal Church continues that legacy\, serving both lifelong members whose families have worshiped here for generations as well as those who have joined more recently.  \n  \nThe 175th anniversary service will launch a yearlong celebration filled with special events\, themed gatherings\, acts of service\, and historical programs honoring Trinity’s past and future. More details on these upcoming celebrations will be released in early 2026.  \n  \nFor more information\, call 903-938-4246\, or email revdanaj@gmail.com \n  \nClick here for flyer \nClick here for PDF of press release

SUMMARY:Happening #187
DESCRIPTION:The Happening Experience\nA Happening is a once-in-a-lifetime experience. Through this experience\, the Happening encourages participation in one’s own parish and youth group. Is Christianity relevant to youth today? Can it penetrate the many areas of school life? Can it transform the world and keep up with changing times? The Happening movement thinks so. It does not propose a new type of spirituality but provides a method through which one’s spirituality may be developed\, nourished\, lived\, and shared in fellowship with Christians willing to dedicate their lives to God in an ongoing manner. The Happening movement believes that Jesus Christ has and will continue to make a difference in the world and in individual lives. Those attending Happening listen to thought-provoking and challenging talks given by members of the staff and clergy. These talks are designed to help the Happeners get to know God. After each talk\, the opportunity is given for questions and discussion in small groups. \nInstrument of Renewal\nThe Happening Movement is a powerful instrument of renewal in the Church. Its purpose is to concentrate closely on the person and teaching of Jesus Christ. Our faith is seriously examined in a relaxed\, fun\, informal\, and loving atmosphere. The Happening weekend is an experience that gives those who attend the desire to understand and serve God through his Church. \nFor questions regarding Happening\, contact:\nhappening@epicenter.org

SUMMARY:Pastors\, Priests\, and Guides Retreat
DESCRIPTION:Come to exhale and learn a few spiritual practices to re-center your soul in the unforced rhythms of Grace. Come to meet other Christian leaders and be reminded that you’re not alone.\nCome to worship and learn at the intersection of multiple Christian traditions…allowing God to fire your imagination for what could be.\n \nAt this retreat\, we’ll explore practices\, conversations\, prayers\, and ideas that open us to the new life trying to get born in our hearts\, in our church communities\, and in our world. We will worship at the intersection of multiple traaditions…learning from the brilliance and particularities of the wider Christian family. May God comfort and stretch us in healing and expansive ways. You will be given plenty of holy space—both for silent reflection and for spiritual conversation—to notice the Spirit’s movement in and among you. Don’t forget your journal! Rev Spellers will bring our desire for Re-enchantment into conversation with her timely new book Church Tomorrow? What the ‘nones’ and ‘dones’ teach us about the future of faith. There is so much we can learn from the stories of others. And yet\, in the spirit of retreat\, Rev Steph will help us bring those insights into prayer and into God’s ongoing work in and through us. At the very end of the retreat\, we’ll gather around the Eucharist table and receive the broken and living Bread we need for life and ministry. Friends\, we really hope you’ll join us. May the Spirit of Christ give us ears to hear\, eyes to see\, and hearts to receive.\n \nBasic Schedule \nMONDAY\, February 9th \n8:30am Coffee and Registration \n9:00am Morning worship\, liturgy\, embodied prayer\, and contemplative practice 10:00am Rev Stephanie Spellers invites us to reflect on our own story with the Church and invite the Spirit to breathe new life into these dry bones.
