Opening Prayer
September is Suicide Prevention Month
Lord we confess…
- We have been in trouble and yet told no one.
- We have felt desperate and not asked for help.
- We have isolated ourselves in our pain instead of reaching out.
- We have suspected others are suffering but we did not ask.
- We have observed lives falling apart but we did not inquire.
- We have been nudged to invite conversation but we have feared the connection.
- We have been quick to speak and slow to listen.
- We have told our stories when others needed us to hear theirs.
- We have discouraged others from talking by our strong opinions and quick solutions.
- We have kept secrets we should not have kept.
- We have left people in danger that we should have offered sanctuary.
- We have allowed communities to form with many pathways to violence, but few pathways to peace.

Lunch-n-Learn:
- “The greatest mass of [people] lead lives of quiet desperation” – our goal is to move from quiet desperation to honest conversation. It’s estimated in a congregation of 200 adults that 12 are likely to be considering suicide and 3 out of 20 high school students at any time.
- As those who minister, we are well situated to be significant sources of hope and healing for those impacted by mental health illnesses and suicide. In this interactive Lunch-n-Learn workshop, we will discuss how hopelessness shows up in the world, how to build and cultivate a soul-safe community and you will learn ways to minister to those impacted by mental illness and suicide. Becoming Hope Incarnate!
Biography for our Speaker:
- David Galvan (he/him) has been speaking, training, and facilitating conversations about whole-person health for nearly 15 years.

Love God, Love God's World - Fall 2024
ALL ARE WELCOME - AND - the target audience for this event are those who would like an overview of the program before leading a group themselves. Be ready - we will be going quickly through the curriculum so that we can get a good flavor of the content and flow of the sessions to help us prepare to lead future groups.
Mondays, 7-9 pm ET / 6-8 pm CT
Dates of the session are as follows:
Sept 23, Sept 30, Oct 21, Oct 28, Nov 4, Nov 11, Nov 18, Nov 25, Dec 2
You do not have to attend all, but should plan for most.
To sign up for this group, contact Jeanette Ettin, Creation Care convener.
This page has all of the information about the program! See all of the details there, and register a group when you are ready to begin.
Love God, Love God’s World is a nine-session, film-based curriculum, ideal for Episcopalians anywhere on the journey with creation care and environmental ministry—from newcomers looking to take their first step to seasoned leaders seeking a transformative small-group experience.
Sessions have a similar structure to the popular Sacred Ground curriculum and include compelling films and readings, faith-based reflections, and discussion questions—each written by different contributors who draw from their own contexts and experiences. Participants will also discover ways to learn, pray, advocate, and conserve.
We hope everyone who participates in the curriculum becomes:
- Comfortable speaking about their faith, care of creation, and climate change
- Personally transformed and invited into different levels of personal and collective engagement on creation care and eco-justice
- Confident about where to find creation care resources and information

Trafficking: Faithful Response and Support
Province V's new initiative to help inform people about and train people to fight trafficking is called "Trafficking: Faithful Support and Response" and is currently under development. We are looking for some team members to help with the development and sharing of this resource across the province and the church.
Here are some areas that we have identified:
- course creation - Total Life Wellness has the majority of the plan, but we will want some conversations with a team about things to make sure that we include
- document creation - what we need to have for handouts to church leaders
- “pilot” course - the first group to participate in a session - to help review and give feedback
Send an email to provinceVcoordinator@gmail.com if you would like to help with any of these pieces. If not your area of ministry or you are unable to help yet, please pray for this program's development and watch for additional information. We hope to launch the first session in the fall.

Spirit & Truth Releases New Resources
Spirit & Truth Publishing recently introduced two new products: elementary-age Mini Lessons for both the Revised Common Lectionary and Narrative Lectionary.
These shorter lessons are intended to support congregations who provide children’s faith formation time for a portion of a worship service, so we include three activities as opposed to the normal eight to ten activities in our full-size lessons. The RCL Mini Lessons curriculum is also our first RCL resource specifically for children beyond our intergenerational classroom curriculum. I have attached a PDF file that includes links to evaluation copies of each of our products, including these two new Mini Lessons.
See the flyer with more details.

Bishop Matthew Gunter to be Installed Bishop of Wisconsin
Milwaukee, Wisconsin - The Rt. Rev. Matthew Gunter will be installed as the Bishop of the Episcopal Diocese of Wisconsin on Saturday, October 5, at the Holiday Inn Hotel & Convention Center in Stevens Point. The service of installation will take place as part of the first Annual Convention of the Diocese of Wisconsin since the reunion of the Episcopal dioceses of Eau Claire, Fond du Lac, and Milwaukee earlier this summer. Prior to the reunification, Bishop Gunter served as bishop of Fond du Lac and bishop provisional of Eau Claire, while also serving as assisting bishop in the Diocese of Milwaukee during its leadership transition. He was consecrated bishop on April 26, 2014.
On May 4, 2024, at a special joint convention in Baraboo, Wisconsin, the three dioceses voted to rejoin as one, after a nearly three-year process of discernment. On June 28, 2024, the 81st General Convention of The Episcopal Church voted to approve the reunion of the dioceses of Milwaukee, Fond du Lac, and Eau Claire.
The Diocese of Wisconsin was originally formed in 1847. In 1875, the Diocese of Fond du Lac was created to serve the northeastern 26 counties of the state, and the Diocese of Wisconsin was renamed the Diocese of Milwaukee in 1886. In 1928, the Diocese of Eau Claire was formed from parts of the Diocese of Fond du Lac and parts of the Diocese of Milwaukee to serve the northwestern part of Wisconsin.
In 2021, the dioceses of Eau Claire, Fond du Lac, and Milwaukee began the process to pursue reuniting as one diocese in Wisconsin. This process included widespread input from clergy and lay leaders in the state.
The reunited Episcopal Diocese of Wisconsin includes over 100 congregations and ministries and more than 11,500 baptized members.
Bishop Matt Gunter serves as the Vice President of the Province V Executive Board.

Evangelism Leadership Course
Oct 6 -Nov 11.
Evangelism Leadership Training Course with Jerusalem Greer: This course is designed for those who seek to inspire, encourage, and lead the community toward a bolder proclamation of God’s Good News by leading Evangelism Ministries. Participants will explore evangelism leadership as a contextual story-sharing process from an Anglican/Episcopal framework. In addition to reflecting together on how one recognizes God’s presence, engages and interprets the stories of God’s action throughout history, and responds to God’s invitation to live in ways that demonstrate and teach the Good News, participants will engage a variety of media and techniques aimed at equipping them to develop and lead evangelism ministries within their congregation or diocese. This class is online and hosted by Bexley-Seabury's Pathways program.

Season of Creation Coming soon!
Creation Season begins on September 1. It gives us, as people of faith, a unique opportunity to pray what we believe, to learn what can be done for the precious creation of which we are a part, to act to reduce our burden on the Earth, and to advocate for just solutions – all for the love of God. This year, we invite your participation in new ways. As you make your way through the four pillars of this work, I pray that you will see something that stirs your imagination and lifts your heart. We need the moral imagination and prophetic power of religious leaders and communities as we lend our faith to the fight. God's creation is at risk. Every day must include consciousness of our interdependence with the rest of the natural world. May this intentional linking of the work to liturgical time be a blessing for your congregation. May we be a blessing for God's creation.
Many Episcopal bishops have given permission to use the Season of Creation materials. Review the website and check with your bishop about using these materials this fall.
The Episcopal Church also has resources as you plan.

September: Hear from The Rev. Gayle Catinella (OH).
Learn how her church developed the Neighbor to Neighbor program:
St. Michael’s in the Hills Episcopal Church (Toledo) is offering a series of four community events, called Neighbor to Neighbor.
We have all experienced anxiety and fear about the upcoming elections. We feel helpless. But the truth is we are not helpless or hopeless, because we all have the power to be kind. We all have the power to be a good neighbor. Not that it is always easy. That is why we practice. St Michael's is offering a series of events that help us explore and share what being a good neighbor might mean in our lives. Each of us will bring our own gifts to the table, and will share in our own way. And when we do, we will see that neighboring is already happening, good and kind things are occurring all the time. We just have to pay attention. Loving our neighbor is one answer to our fear and concern. We have seen a multitude of miracles as our community comes together to hold up this truth.

September Zoom Gathering:
Leading Visibly on Climate
The Rev. Carol Devine, Director of ecoAmerica
Research shows that the majority of people in the US (over 70%) are concerned or very concerned about climate change. And yet, the majority of churches in the US have not integrated creation care and climate justice into their faith. According to Pew, only 8% of Catholics report that there is a great deal or quite a bit of discussion about climate change in their churches. We must let our light shine and act and lead visibly on climate. In this discussion with Rev. Carol Devine, Director of Blessed Tomorrow, we will contemplate how to lead visibly in order to work toward a healthy climate.
Rev. Carol Devine is the Director of Blessed Tomorrow, a coalition of diverse religious partners united as faithful stewards of creation.
Come join in conversation with convention attendees as we learn of the work ecoAmerica and the resources they can offer.
Love God, Love God's World - Fall Preview Event
Join with leaders from Provinces IV and V to walk through the new curriculum to familiarize ourselves with it so that we can facilitate future groups.
