 Special Invitation from The DeKoven Center
The 25th Presiding Bishop of the Episcopal Church, the Most Rev. Frank Griswold, will be featured speaker on May 13 at DeKoven's Spring session of "New Wine." This will be a wonderful opportunity for all of us to hear Bishop Griswold's perspective on the issues facing the Church today and to have time for conversation and questions. His topic is "The Episcopal Church: Gift and Challenge." The DeKoven Center is hoping that many people of the Diocese will want to be present for this unique event, both clergy and lay. We are hoping so much for strong verbal announcements in every parish!
The event will begin with a reception at 6:00 and dinner at 7:00. Bishop Griswold's talk will follow, with ample time for questions and reflections. Suggested donation for the New Wine event is $50.00. Please call Donna at 633-6401 for reservations. MasterCard and Visa welcome
