Diocesan Staff Development Week

The week of May 15-19, 2023 will be a development week for Bishop Deon Johnson and the diocesan staff.

This development week is a chance for the staff to focus on important projects that so often get pushed to the bottom of our to-do lists as we respond to the needs of others in the Diocese. The week will also include an off-site staff retreat on Thursday, May 18.

Staff members will be working our regular hours, but we will not be immediately responding to non-emergency emails and phone calls. Of course, if an emergency requires our attention, we will be here for you!

Thank you for your patience and understanding as we take this "quiet" week. We hope this intentional time will benefit everyone in the Diocese!
