Diocesan News

Mtr. Leann Wigner November 03, 2025

Canterbury Episcopal Campus Ministry at Texas Tech has been asked to volunteer for Candlelight at the Ranch at the National Ranching Heritage Center in Lubbock again this year. If you have never been to Candlelight on the Ranch, it is quite a site to see. During this two day event, holiday scenes are recreated in 15 historic structures such as the 1838 El Capote Log Cabin, 1886 XIT Ranch headquarters, 1888 Matador Half-Dugout and the Spur Trinity Mission Church. Visitors will have maps pointing the way to each structure, and they can download the NRHC app for specific details about each structure and a more guided experience. This year, the event will be on December 12 and 13 from 6 to 9 p.m. at the National Ranching Heritage Center (NRHC).

 

WE NEED VOLUNTEERS FOR THE CHURCH SERVICE!!!! If you would like to volunteer to be a 1920s Episcopalian at an Episcopal Christmas Eve service, please contact Mother Leann Wigner at 575-631-5345 for more details, or you can register to participate by clicking here. Please note that you can sign up for one day or two days, anyone from any of our churches are welcome to participate, and the museum will provide you with an outfit if you need one.

 

If you can't volunteer, please come and enjoy the event and support Canterbury and other local Episcopalians. The event is FREE (suggested donation of $5) and does not require a ticket.  For more information about the event, click here. To learn more about the Trinity mission church, click here.
