Theme: “Watershed Moments”
Our 59th Annual Convention centered on the theme Watershed Moments—an exploration of both the physical Continental Divide and the spiritual watersheds that mark change and transformation in our lives and in our diocese.
The weekend invited reflection on where God’s living waters are leading us next—through worship, learning, fellowship, and shared discernment.
