"RECEIVE HER IN THE LORD!"
Join Discerning Deacons on September 3 for an evening of prayer, testimony, and witness on the day our Church commemorates St. Phoebe the Deacon, as together...
We pray for St. Phoebe’s intercession for our synodal, diaconal church.
We lift up communities from around the world preparing their own St. Phoebe Day celebrations throughout the month.
We celebrate the good news of our new Church teaching elevating women’s leadership in Paragraph 60 of the Synod’s Final Document.
We go forth to bring the good news of St. Phoebe and Paragraph 60 to our communities.
