Following the success of last years' inaugural event, we are pleased to announce that registration is now open for WordFest! 2023, scheduled for Saturday, May 6 from 10:00 am to 1:00 pm on Zoom.
The theme this year is Exploring the Psalms – Lament, Listen, Laugh, Lead.
The Rev. Peter Rodgers has invited three leading scholars — Dr. Richard Rohlfing, Dr. Max Botner, and Dr. Libby Backfish — to share on these three aspects of the psalms.
Like last year, Wordfest! is divided into two parts: Discovery – learning about scripture, and Delivery – learning how to integrate scripture into worship.
Click here to learn more about the program and our presenters. |

| LIVING SACRAMENTALLY: AN EASTERTIDE LEARNING OPPORTUNITY |
| |
 Are you interested in reflecting on the meaning of your baptism for the questions, challenges, and opportunities you face in daily life? During Easter Season (also known as the Great Fifty Days), Phina Borgeson and Paul Mallatt will be offering an online, Zoom-based course called “Living Sacramentally.” All in our Russian River Deanery are invited to explore what it means to live into our baptisms, and meet the questions, challenges and opportunities to live faithfully in our daily lives. Five sessions will each be focused on a sign of baptism: water, oil, name, new clothes, light. A short reflection from one of the facilitators and a key text from scripture or the Book of Common Prayer will lead into open dialogue among those who participate. Newly baptized adults and older teens, as well as parents and godparents of newly baptized children and infants, are especially encouraged to participate, but all are welcome. Eastertide is a traditional time for Christians to reflect on living sacramentally; as part of the catechumenal process it is called “mystagogy.”
Meetings will be Tuesday evenings at 6:30 p.m. Pacific, beginning April 18 for five weeks. Paul Mallatt (paulyfa@me.com) and Phina Borgeson (phinaborgeson@gmail.com) will be facilitating. Contact either of them with questions or to receive the Zoom link.
