February is a time in parishes for new vestries to come together to affirm their mission, define priorities for the year ahead, and dream big about the work of the church. New in February 2019, we are offering two-night retreats for vestries from multiple congregations to gather together to learn, share best practices, and form connections with other leadership teams from around the state. Cathedral Ridge provides a distraction-free environment for planning and bonding, and sacred space for hearing God’s call. Conference weekends will include worship, presentations by conference facilitators, time for individual vestries to workshop ideas and develop mission and vision, table fellowship, and time for refreshment and reflection. Registration opens November 1.

The Episcopal Church in Colorado has announced the election of The Rev. Kym Lucas as its 11th Bishop
The Rev. Kimberly (Kym) Lucas was chosen as the 11th Bishop of the Episcopal Church in Colorado during its 131st Annual Convention held at Saint John’s Cathedral in Denver.
One of two candidates, Lucas was elected on the fourth ballot, receiving 124 of 173 clergy votes and 237 of 306 lay votes. In order to be elected, a candidate needed to receive 2/3 votes from both the clergy and the lay delegates, voting separately as orders in the same balloting round. The second ballot was invalid due to a reporting error after the announcement of the first ballot. The other candidate was The Rev. Canon Ruth Woodliff-Stanley, Canon to the Ordinary of The Episcopal Church in Colorado.
Lucas has served as Rector of St. Margaret’s Episcopal Church in Washington, D.C. since January 2012. Previously, she was the Rector of St. Ambrose Episcopal Church in Raleigh, NC from 2005 to 2011.
