Stories of Resilience

Friday November 6, 2026
7-9pm
Trinity Episcopal Church
Ft. Wayne, IN

Join us for a night of stories of resilience. Tell about a time when your parish has shown resilience. Tell about a time when God has done something amazing in your parish. Have you “seen” God in your parish? Have you witnessed God doing something through your parish? Tell us about it!

If you have stories to share, let us know by October 15, 2026.

Or just come to listen to others share their stories and be inspired.

The event will occur on Friday November 6, 2026, at Trinity Episcopal Church in Ft. Wayne, IN. The event is sponsored by Dove Faith Cafe.
No RSVP is necessary unless you’re planning to share a story.
