Clergy are invited to join colleagues from around the Diocese of Olympia for this significant liturgy among the Church’s ordained leaders.
At the beginning of Holy Week, clergy gather together for a renewal of their ordination vows. As leaders who are charged with leading others through the Passion of Christ, the Resurrection, and lives of continuing discipleship, this gathering together around Word and Meal affords an opportunity to be together with colleagues for renewal of vows, mutual strength, and encouragement in their calling. At this liturgy, the bishop asks God’s blessing on the chrism oil, which will be used in the coming year for baptisms. Bishop Phil LaBelle will be preaching during this service.
