Diocese Of Southern Ohio News

Celebrate 150th Anniversary 

This is our Story, This is our Song
Join Bishop White and Episcopalians across Southern Ohio and beyond as we celebrate 150 years of mission and ministry as a diocese on Saturday, September 27, at the Procter Center. Our time together will honor our legacy, foster connection, and speak truth about our shared history.

During this day-long celebration, we’ll enjoy fun camp activities like hay rides and boating, we’ll share a delicious meal together with food from Sweets & Meats BBQ Food Truck, we’ll worship together with incredible music and contributions from across our beloved diocese. And through it all, we’ll focus on storytelling: our diocesan story and history dug up in a 25 year old time capsule and as collected and shared by the dedicated History & Storytelling Group, our congregational stories and histories, and our own stories — naming and sharing the ways that God shows up in our own lives and calls us ever deeper into relationship with the Creator and with one another.
