A Word of Greeting
Greetings to all throughout Province VIII. It is a genuine blessing to serve our provincial community in this communications ministry, and I am grateful for the opportunity to support the vital work being done across our dioceses and ministries. This report summarizes recent activity and offers several invitations for collaboration. Please do not hesitate to reach out — I am here to help and glad to be available to you.
Provincial Web Presence
The Province VIII Website
Last year we launched the updated Province VIII website at www.provinceviii.org. The site serves as the primary public-facing home for provincial news, ministry information, and resources. We continue to develop and refine it, and your input and participation are always welcome.
Ministry Web Pages
We are actively building out the provincial web presence to include pages for individual ministries. If your ministry would benefit from a presence on the Province VIII website, please reach out and we will be glad to work with you to make that happen.
Promoting Provincial Events
The Communications Ministry is pleased to promote events of provincial interest through two channels:
• The Provincial Events page: provinceviii.org/events
• The Provincial Facebook page: facebook.com/ProvinceVIII
If you have an event you would like promoted, please send the following details to communications@provinceviii.org:
• Event name, date, time, and location
• A brief description of the event
• Any images or graphics you would like included
• Registration or sign-up links, if applicable
• Contact information or links for readers who want to learn more
While sending a pdf or Word flyer is acceptable, I have to deconstruct it to convert to a web format. If possible, please provide a simple Word document or email with photo attachments. The more detail you provide, the better we can represent your event to the broader provincial community.
Provincial Ministry Directory
We are compiling a directory of web sites for provincial ministries, dioceses, and affiliated organizations. If your ministry has a web presence that you would like included, please send the name of your ministry and its web address to communications@provinceviii.org. This directory will make it easier for members across the province to discover and connect with the breadth of ministry happening in Province VIII.
Submitting Quarterly Ministry Reports
Ministry reports each quarter may be submitted in either of two ways:
• By email to communications@provinceviii.org
• By direct upload at provinceviii.org/submitreport
Please note that a technical issue affecting PDF uploads on the submission page has been resolved. However, Word documents (.docx) are the preferred format for all quarterly reports, as they allow for easier compilation and archiving.
Provincial Officer Email Addresses
Province VIII is in the process of transitioning all provincial officers to standardized, office-based email addresses. This ensures continuity of communication as leadership changes over time. The current addresses are as follows:
Office | Email Address |
President | |
Vice President | |
Secretary | |
Treasurer | |
Chancellor | |
Communications |
We encourage all who correspond with provincial leadership to update their records accordingly as this transition continues.
In Closing
It is a privilege to serve the churches, dioceses, and ministries of Province VIII in this communications role. Whether you need help promoting an event, listing your ministry's website, submitting a report, or simply getting a question answered, please do not hesitate to reach out. I look forward to hearing from you and to continuing to serve this beloved community together.
In faith and service,

Steve Welch Communications
