Newsletter Submission Guidelines

We publish a newsletter each Wednesday. The newsletter contains information on governance/administrative updates and reminders, leadership events and clergy news, stories, congregational event listings, and other news of interest.

The newsletter is open to anyone who would like to subscribe.

If you would like to have something published in the newsletters, or want to send suggestions or questions about diocesan communications, please email creese@dionwpa.org. The deadline for each week’s issue is Monday at Noon. (Eastern Time)

Submission Guidelines:

Upcoming Events

Please share any events with us that might be of interest to members of other parishes in the diocese. These might include talks or other education programs, outreach or justice events, concerts, mid-week worship or vigils. Please note, we do not publish events taking place at individual parishes on Sunday mornings.

Stories

If you have a story about a ministry your parish is engaging in or a successful event focused on mission, we want to hear from you. Do note, your piece will be edited for space and style. We may also contact you for more information or to interview those involved for a longer story.

Please send a high resolution photograph along with your story — we ask that these photos, whenever possible, have people in them (so, for example, we would rather see people enjoying a free community meal than a picture of the food that was served). We almost never publish photos of empty church buildings, vestments, or altars. When possible, please provide the names of those pictured. If anyone under the age of 18 appears in the photograph, make sure you have signed permission from a parent or guardian.
