We Need Your Help to Get Church Membership Information Updated
A letter was sent June 2, 2010, to the senior warden and
rector/vicar of each church in the diocese requesting changes and updates to church
membership directories, with a response deadline of June 25, 2010.
It is important that the diocese receive this updated information, as it will
be used for the mailing list for The North Carolina Disciple, which will
be printed in a new, quarterly magazine format in early September. This information
is kept exclusively for the diocese, and is not disclosed to third parties.
Please contact Scott Welborn, Database Coordinator, at 919.834.7474 or [email protected], if
your church has not sent in updated information or you have questions on how
best to do so. Also, please let Scott know if the
records you received for your church required no changes.
