Spring Renewal is on
Friday evening, April 29 & Saturday, April 30
Spring Renewal is our new annual gathering for the Diocese of El Camino Real!
Spring Renewal is for worship, thanksgiving and celebration!
Spring Renewal is for shared learning and growth! Spring Renewal is for everyone in our Diocese!
Here's what you can expect from Spring Renewal 2022:
Bishop Lucinda and the diocesan staff look forward to welcoming you to the Spring Renewal in just a few days! Please note there is only one Zoom link, meeting id, and password for the Spring Renewal – they will remain the same for both Friday and Saturday.
On Friday evening there will be a special recognition of the ministry of Canon Brian Nordwick who retired earlier this year after serving many years on the diocesan staff. We encourage you wear a party hat and/or decorate the space which will be on camera and sign in at 6:30 pm for fellowship and an opportunity for sharing Canon Brian stories. Friday evening will close with a bilingual Compline led by Bishop Lucinda and you can download the bulletin by clicking here.
On Saturday, Bishop Sean Rowe will address “Faithful Ways Fresh Vistas” in two plenary sessions and there will be an opportunity for small group conversations.
The updated schedule of events for the weekend as well as the Zoom link and meeting information are listed below.

A Celebration of Ministry at Spring Renewal!
Join us for a diocesan-wide conversation about Social Justice ministries in our diocese, as an optional lunchtime discussion at Spring Renewal.
At the Celebration of Ministry we will hear what other congregations are doing, share our own experiences, and meet other people as passionate as you. The four topics for conversation are:
Creation Care
Immigration
Community Organizing
Living on the Edge - homelessness and food insecurity.
If you registered you should have received an email with a zoom link to attend one of the break out rooms.
