| eRISEN -Your Episcopal Calendar |
Greetings!
It is coming ... big changes for the diocesan website! We have heard your concerns, we know the current site is frustrating. You have a dedicated team of people working on the project to make our site functional, fresh and informative. Keep reading eRISEN for updates!
I have overheard "Oh, I thought eRISEN is just the print version of RISEN" more than a few times recently.
Not at all! Spread the word. Let foilks know that eRISEN is simply an email with events, dates and items of interest to Episcopalians! Calendar events are no longer published in RISEN (since it is now a quarterly magazine).
Peace,
Jessica Gates
Editor of RISEN and eRISEN
AND AS USUAL...
Would you like to see something in eRISEN that is currently not featured? Let us know by emailing risen@episcopalri.org.
This is YOUR calendar tool. We send out eRISEN twice a month to keep you updated on current events happening around you. Pass it on!
For information on how to submit events (and the next deadline), see the bottom of this email.
