SUMMARY:Beatles Sunday
DESCRIPTION:All We Need is Love – A Beatles Liturgy\n \n“This is my commandment\, that you love one another as I have loved you. No one has greater love than this\, to lay down one’s life for one’s friends.” John 15:12-13\nBring friends and come enjoy as St. Stephen’s celebrates God’s peace and love with a Sixties spin. Over the decades the music of the Beatles has grown far beyond its original intention\, and is wrapped up in our memories\, our dreams\, and in our own beliefs.  \n“All You Need Is Love” is a famous Beatles’ song and we can sing it thinking about the love of God who came to earth to experience the full range of human life\, from joy to suffering. When we sing “Help\, I need somebody”\, we remember that the Christian Community was formed to be just that\, a place to help us get our feet back on the ground! And when we sing “And in the end\, the love you take is equal to the love you make\,” we remember that as much as we love the people in our lives\, we experience God’s love greater than any love we can give!\nA Beatles-themed reception will follow in our parish hall.  \nOur team gets very creative with fun food like Strawberry Fields Salad\, Mr. Egg Man deviled eggs\, I Want To Hold Your Ham served with Eleanor Rollsby and Mean Mr. Mustard. The parish hall will be decorated to reflect the peace and love that abounds.\nThis is the perfect day to bring a guest who has not yet experienced the Episcopal Church!\n \nLink to Facebook Event Page

People have debated what they represent\, with one interpretation being that these four represent pestilence\, war\, famine\, and death. Since all four have been realities of human life for centuries\, we are left with two questions: “How does the gospel address these realities\, and how do we live a Christian life in the midst of these apocalyptic signs?”\n\nClergy\, staff\, and guest speakers lead a conversation on the theology and practice of gospel-centered living in a time of pestilence\, war\, famine\, and death.\n\nJune 11: Pestilence\nHope and Temperance After the Pandemic\nThe Rev.

SUMMARY:Holy Sprit Episcopal Church in Waco\, Texas: A Solar Workshop
DESCRIPTION:JustEnergy is partnering with Holy Spirit Episcopal Church to host a one-day workshop to answer your questions in the noisy world of solar energy in Texas today.    \n\n \nThe workshop will host speakers from Baylor University\, the City of Waco\, and other local experts on solar topics. The focus is on the process\, the finances\, and the benefits – not the technical details. We’ll answer the questions you have about adding solar energy to your church or nonprofit: \n\n1. Can solar save me money? Is solar good stewardship? Can solar be a blessing?\n2. Why should I care about energy? What do I need to know about everyday energy?\n3. What are low-cost options other than solar? (such as insulation\, energy audits\, HVAC health)\n4. How do I fund a solar installation?

SUMMARY:Thy Kingdom Come 2024
DESCRIPTION:Thy Kingdom Come (TKC) is a global ecumenical prayer movement that invites Christians around the world to pray from Ascension to Pentecost for more people to come to know Jesus.\nSince it began in May 2016\,  God has grown TKC from a dream of possibility into a movement which unites more than a million Christians in prayer\, in nearly 90% of countries worldwide\, across 85 different denominations and traditions- so that friends and family\, neighbours and colleagues might come to faith in Jesus Christ.\nEvery person\, household and church are encouraged to pray during the 11 days in their own way.\nIt is our hope & prayer\, that those who have not yet heard the Good News of Jesus Christ and His love for the world\, will hear it for themselves and respond and follow Him.\nSpecifically\, we again invite each and every Christian across the globe to pray that God’s Spirit might work in the lives of 5 people who have not responded with their ‘Yes’ to God’s call.\nWhether you have joined in ‘Thy Kingdom Come’ before or not\, we invite you to take part & join in.\n“In praying ‘Thy Kingdom Come’ we all commit to playing our part in the renewal of the nations and the transformation of communities.” Archbishop Justin Welby\nCLICK HERE FOR MORE INFORMATION \nCLICK HERE TO REGISTER

SUMMARY:Annual Recovery Retreat
DESCRIPTION:The Annual Recovery Retreat  Saturday\, April 13\, 2024 11:00am-3:00pm via Zoom Host: The Rev. Erin Jean Warde author of Sober Spirituality hails from the Deepest South\, Alabama\, with the accent to prove it. From an early age\, she found herself both lost in words\, and foraging a way through them through writing. At the young age of 10\, she knew she wanted to write a book\, so the identity of writer feels almost as close to her as the identity of human\, woman\, created.  This retreat will invite participants to explore spiritual practices and mindfullness into their recovery program. Contact: The Rev. Brad Sullivan\, for registration and event info. For more information on all things EDOT Recovery\, contact The Rev. Brad Sullivan 979.318.6772

SUMMARY:Happening #180
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. \nParticipant Registration\nhttps://EDOTformation.formstack.com/forms/happening_180_registration \nStaff Application\nhttps://EDOTformation.formstack.com/forms/happening_180_staff_application \nSenior Leadership for Happening #181 Sept. 27-29\, 2024\nhttps://EDOTformation.formstack.com/forms/happening_181_sr_leader \n Steering Committee\nHappening utilizes a wonderful group of volunteers that comprise the steering committee.
