The diocesan Department of Communications strives to connect individuals to the life and activates of the diocese, to communicate essential information for full engagement with diocesan ministries, and to provide support to diocesan ministries and congregational communications.
The Christian Formation Committee and the Rev. Canon Leyla King, Canon for Mission in Small Congregations have put together a Lenten video series on the 2025 diocesan theme "Here Am I. Send Me." The series explores how each of us hears the Lord’s call on our lives and answers it, like Isaiah, through our vocations in the Church, as lay people, deacons, priests and bishops.
This 5-week series can be used for a mid-week or Sunday morning study. The series includes videos, audio recordings, transcripts, and a discussion guide. The videos and discussion guides will be published before Council in February. Come by the Christian Formation booth and we will walk you through how to access these resources online and use them in your congregation. You can also email Suzanna at formaton@dwtx.org or Canon Leyla at leyla.king@dwtx.org.

Dear Jr. High Youth, have we got an adventure for you! Fly to Duncan Park and spend the week having a ton of fun with other campers from across Texas, learning back-country and outdoor living skills, exploring the forests and mountains of Colorado all while learning about our environment and how God is interwoven into all of it.
Duncan Park is committed to offering fun, life-changing experiences to families and youth in a safe, Christ-centered community. Leadership at camp is provided by program staff and counselors, as well as a priest from the Episcopal Diocese of West Texas, serving as chaplain for the week.
