Grace and Greetings!
As we move forward together in this new season of ministry, I am excited to call the Eighth Episcopal District together for our Bishop’s Vision Casting Meeting on Saturday, August 29, 2026, at 9:00 a.m. at Christian Chapel Temple of Faith, 14120 Noel Road, Dallas, Texas 75254. The Rev. Freeman McKindra II is the host pastor.
This meeting is an important opportunity for us to gather as one Episcopal District, hear the vision for the work before us, strengthen our connection, and prepare ourselves to serve faithfully and effectively.
