Experience the Living Waters

Province V covers Illinois, Indiana, Michigan, eastern Missouri, Ohio and Wisconsin: 14 dioceses, 844 congregations, 220,000 lay persons and clergy.

Each diocese is bordered by at least one body of living water; the great American rivers, the Great Lakes, and myriad smaller bodies. The image of Living Water, baptismal waters, continues to shape our relationships and ministry.

c.  host coordinator / hospitality – coordinate all of the volunteers who are on site
d.  housing – securing hotel accommodations and scheduling “Episcopal bnb” (local residents serving as hosts to those coming in)
e.  workshops – reviewing workshop proposals, choosing the final line-up and creating the schedule
f.  vendors / swag bags – arranging for vendors and swag bag items and finding volunteers to assemble the swag bags
g.  sponsorships – finding money to off-set the costs of this event.  (Goal:  participants pay $50 for the whole event)
