By now every parish should have received three copies of "Groundwork: Digging Deep for Change and Growth," a packet of practical resources for hospitality, evangelism and outreach, designed to help congregations do “groundwork” for the national television ad campaign planned for back-to-school season this year. Please don’t file this, but instead make sure there are people in your parish reading this material and deciding how best to use it. In addition to preparing for the ad campaign, “Groundwork” provides important tools for our diocesan mission: “To make known to all people the transforming power of the Gospel of Jesus Christ, including ALL, excluding none”. The Groundwork resources are also available online in English at www.episcopalchurch.org/groundwork and in Spanish at http://www.episcopalchurch.org/groundwork_56638_ENG_HTM.htm

Diocesan Office voicemail unavailable—The voicemail system at the Diocesan Office is in the shop for repair, so there will be no answer when you call before or after office hours, and you will not be able to leave voicemail messages. Until the system is either repaired or replaced, we will make sure that the phone is answered throughout the day. Any messages you leave with our receptionist, Jessy Soria—or any other person—will be delivered.

SEFEF Emergency Fund--An anonymous donation has enabled the Southeast Florida Episcopal Foundation to establish a new fund for emergency property repair and restoration. The immediate purpose of this fund is to assist congregations and individual parishioners to repair the damages from last fall’s hurricanes, but the Foundation intends the fund also to be resource for parishes in the event of damage from other disasters such as fires, lightning strikes, flooding or vandalism.

The Pension Fund will cover the cost of baby-sitting or eldercare in your home for anyone who needs that in order to attend. Arrangements for this care must be made prior to conference. For information about the content of Planning for Tomorrow conferences, go to http://www.cpg.org/cms/content/580_generic.cfm.

The format for this year’s conference is being revised in order to provide as much information as possible to help wardens and treasurers carry out their responsibilities for conducting the business of the parish effectively and efficiently. You will receive additional information about the conference soon.

Holy Week Clergy Day—The annual Holy Week Clergy Day and Chrism Eucharist (Blessing of the Oils) will be Mar. 22, beginning at 10 a.m., at Trinity Cathedral. The speaker will be the Rev. Christopher Bryan, professor of New Testament at the School of Theology at the University of the South. The Chrism Eucharist will also be the occasion of the formal installation of the Ven. Mary Gray-Reeves as Archdeacon for Deployment, the Rev. Howarth “Hap” Lewis as Canon for Deacons and the Rev. Terrence Taylor as Canon for Youth. Registration for the day will be online.

“Lift Every Voice”—The diocese is offering a rare opportunity for parish musicians, choir members and anyone else who loves singing--“Lift Every Voice”: a workshop celebrating African-American Sacred Music, led by Dr. Horace Clarence Boyer, Saturday, Apr. 30, 9 a.m.-3:30 p.m., at Grace Church, West Palm Beach. The cost is $5 ($8 after Apr. 15) and includes lunch. Dr. Boyer, general editor of the Lift Every Voice hymnal and professor emeritus of music at the University of Massachusetts at Amherst, is known throughout the Episcopal Church as a compelling teacher, storyteller—and gospel singer. For more information, call Grace Church, 561-845-6060.

Episcopal Clerical Directory--Clergy, watch your mailboxes for the 2005 Episcopal Clerical Directory clergy and institutional update questionnaires, which will be mailed in early February. This is your bi-annual opportunity to review all of the information Church Pension Group currently has stored in the database about you and your parish and to make corrections and additions to that information.

Tips for online registration—When you complete an online registration for a diocesan event, you should immediately see a page that shows you exactly what you entered on the registration form and tells you to print the page for your records. If you do not see such a page or receive an error message, your registration form is incomplete or incorrect in some way, and you have not actually registered. In that case, go back to the registration page and try again. If you are having difficulty with online payment for an event, all registrations for which payment is required offer the option of registering online but paying by mail; the link for this option is always near the top of the form, just below the name of the event.

New “no-show” policy—At the December clergy conference, 11 persons who had registered neither attended nor canceled their registrations. Even for events for which there is no charge to participants, the Duncan Center (or whatever the venue is) must charge the diocese per person registered, so the “no-shows” for that conference cost all of us $800. We have been incurring these kinds of losses from nearly every diocesan event in the past few years. We know there will always be last minute illnesses and emergencies that prevent a few persons from attending events for which they are registered; but to be good stewards of diocesan funds, we now need to institute a strict policy on “no shows”: Anyone registered for a diocesan event--including events for which there is no cost to participants--who does not either attend or cancel in a timely manner, will be billed for the per-person amount that the venue charges the diocese.

EYE—The national Episcopal Youth Event (for young people who have completed grades 9, 10, 11, or 12 by Spring 2005 and have not already attended college) will be held July 26-31 on the campus of Berea College, Berea, Ky. Our diocese is initially allowed to register 12 youth and three adults, but may be allowed more. Youth interested in attending should contact Diocesan Youth Missioner Fr. Terrence Taylor, ttaylor@diosef.org or 800-268-9993 or 305-373-0881, ext. 28. For additional information go to www.eye2005.org

New directory on Episcopal Church website—The national Episcopal Church website, www.episcopalchurch.org, has just added an A to Z directory that makes navigating the large and complex site much simpler. Go to www.episcopalchurch.org/atoz.htm

Items for Eucharistic Visitors--Morehouse Publishing has produced double-sided, laminated Communion service sheets for use by Eucharistic Visitors. To be shared with communicants at home, hospitals, nursing facilities or other institutions, these service sheets follow the Distribution of Holy Communion by Eucharistic Visitors to Persons Who Are Ill or Infirm, Rites I and II, from The Book of Occasional Services. Also new for Eucharistic Visitors is a pin that identifies them when they bring Communion to parishioners who can't be present in Church. Both of these items are available by calling 1-800-877-0012 or by ordering on-line at www.morehousepublishing.com

Congratulations—to Bishop James Ottley and Lillian on the birth of their third grandchild and first granddaughter, Natalie, born Jan. 19 to the Ottley’s daughter Irina and her husband!
