Join us for the 5th annual
Reawakening Conference
with the Anglican Diocese in New England as we explore our 2025 Theme:
“The Power of the Promise - Unbreakable hope for a divided and broken world”
October 17-18, 2025 | Grace Chapel | 59 Worthen Rd Lexington, MA 0242
Schedule - coming soon
In this interactive workshop, we’ll explore how the creative process reflects the mystery and sovereignty of God’s plans. As we make art together, we’ll wrestle with the tension between our expectations and God’s unexpected paths—discovering that while our lives may not unfold as we imagine, God’s promises remain true, beautiful, and trustworthy. Come ready to create, reflect, and be reminded that even in the twists and turns, God is faithfully shaping something good.
Learning the secret of being fruitful and joyful for the long haul.
We will explore the causes of burnout and the preventative steps to avoid it.
You will get an assessment tool to see where you are relative to burnout. In our time together your awareness of colleagues' burnout and potential for burnout will significantly improve.
Rural outreach and discipleship comes with its own unique set of joys and challenges. We will identify and explore some of the distinctives of effective rural ministry, be encouraged and grow in faith and skill and enjoy some delightful and humorous accounts when Christians, Cows and Cranmer all come together in bringing the Kingdom of God.
There was a time when to be an orthodox Anglican in New England was not strange. For many reasons that is no longer the case. Dependence on natural attraction is no longer a viable strategy for making a gospel impact. What is required, for all Christians, is to take on the countenance of a pioneering missionary. But what does that face look like? Rev. Geoff and Blanca Little will draw on their experience ministering in New Haven, CT as a starting point for a discussion of what it means to engage in pioneering Anglicanism in our diocese. The workshop will be less of a "how-to" session and more of a dialogue on how to be content and fruitful as Anglican Christian missionaries in our beloved part of the country. No griping, just grappling with the situation--and calling on the Lord for wisdom.
In this workshop, we will be looking at blind Bartimaeus' response to Jesus' question: "What do you want Me to do for you?" (Mark 10:51) How might we respond, if asked that same question? What role does faith and prayer play in our ability to receive the Lord's healing grace? Are there limits to what we may ask of God?
When life takes different twists and turns, some expected and some unexpected, how do you stay on track? How do you still find hope even in the low dark times? -finding hope in the gray.
Audrey draws on her personal story of coming to faith as a teenager, and the roller coaster ride of walking with the Lord into her adult life. Learn the power of purpose, trust, hope, faith, resilience and good company.
Are you a teen living with persistent anxiety or depression or both? Are you concerned for the teen in your life and don't know what to say or how to help? You are not alone. In this workshop, therapist and Director of the Isaiah 40 Foundation, Amanda McGann, will guide you to understand these illnesses and find resources, resilience and rest in God's promise that he will help you "run and not grow weary... walk and not be faint" (Isaiah 40:31).
There are some points of pain and discouragement that can be found in every community, from the lonely and isolated, to the impoverished and hungry. Regardless of the lack, or depth of brokenness, we are all invited to join God in His work of transformation from blight to light. Let’s be inspired together to make a difference in our communities for generations to come.
