Deacons’ Retreat & Day with Bishop Kym
Friday, November 3 – Sunday, November 5, 2023 at Cathedral Ridge, Woodland Park, Colorado
“Like good stewards of the manifold grace of God, serve one another with whatever gift each of you has received.” (1 Peter 4:10)
The Diaconal Council and the Bishop are excited to invite you to a Deacons’ Retreat & Day with Bishop Kym. Join us for a time of gathering and sharing. A time for rest, rejuvenation and generous quantities of beautiful landscape and fresh air! This year, we will have a guest speaker, The Venerable Carole Maddux, who will share her wisdom and insights on self-care for deacons.
Join us at Cathedral Ridge Camp and Conference Center located at 1364 County Road 75 in Woodland Park, Colorado.
We ask all deacons — active, retired, transitional and unassigned — and all diaconal postulants to join us. Please register for this inspiring time together by providing the information below. The cost for this retreat is again just $25 thanks to the generosity of your Regional Missioners and Regional Executive Committees! Bishop Kym expects all active deacons to attend this retreat.
