We are hosting a mini-series on church planting in C4SO. In this first episode, we talk with Bishop Todd about his vision for church planting in the diocese. Then we chat with the Rev. Brad Swope, C4SO’s Director of Church Planting, about the practicalities of planting in C4SO, and two exciting new initiatives: a church planting residency program and an upcoming church planting boot camp. Email Brad if you’re interested in hearing more about either initiative.

• All C4SO clergy, leaders, parishioners or people interested in the life of the diocese are invited to attend our virtual Diocesan Convention on Saturday, November 13, from 10:30 am to 12:00 pm CT. The Convention is a vital part of engaging in communal leadership of our diocese. During this time, we will be celebrating our 2021 growth and progress, sharing our vision for 2022, hearing from key leaders, and voting on important topics. Get more info and register here.
• Our Cycle of Prayer Spotlight ministry this week is Cornerstone Church in Tulsa, OK, led by the Rev. Jon Odom.
