59TH DIOCESAN CONVENTION
The Theme of the 2025 Convention is “Watershed Moments.” Through this theme, we will explore the physical significance of the Continental Divide, that geological feature that separates the watersheds that drain into the Pacific Ocean from those that drain into the Atlantic Ocean. We will talk about the spiritual Watershed of our lives during this time of change for the diocese.
​
St. Thomas’ Rawlins and our friends in Region IV look forward to hosting the annual convention which will go back to the slightly longer schedule. We will begin with an opening reception hosted by St. Thomas’ on Thursday, October 9th and end with Sunday Morning Eucharist on October 12th, 2025.
