The launch of the diocesan website brings new opportunities for us to stay in communication with each other across the diocese. One integral part of the website is the DWTX Blog, on which you will find current news from the Bishop Jones Center, messages from our bishops, and most importantly, ministry stories from our churches. The Department of Communications hopes to post multiple stories weekly. If you would like to share a short story about a ministry or activity at your church, please contact Laura Shaver. Links to stories on the blog will be sent out via this weekly digest on Fridays. This weekly digest also contains an overview of what you can find on ReflectionsOnline, the diocesan spiritual formation blogsite. For more information on Reflections, please contact Editor Marjorie George.
