Cups changed Hands, Hands Shared Good Times After several grueling rounds of Acolyte Jeopardy, and Acolyte Olympics. St. Philip's came out ahead of the pack with 674 point. Others were close behind though. Christ Church in Elizabeth City came in a close second with 651 points, and Holy Trinity, Hamsptead had 633 points. Points were accrued by answering questions about the various tasks and symbols of acolytes during Jeopardy, as well as performing tasks simliar to those performed on any given Sunday during the Olympics. These tasks varied from soring M&M's one handed to passing a cotton ball down a line only using the participants' noses. (You can see more of what they did by viewing the video below.) The Acolute Festival is used as a time to help recognize and celebrate the ministry the acolytes provide during Sunday services. "I want to take this time to celebrate you. You are important and valuable to your church," said The Rt. Rev. Clifton Daniel, 3rd, Bishop of the Diocese of East Carolina, during the opening Eucharist. In the Episcopal Church, the practice of the acolyte is rich. An acolyte is any lay person who helps with the church service by carrying the processional cross, lighting candles, holding the gospel book or torch during the reading, helping with the presentation of the bread, wine and gifts of the people, swinging incense, or any other tasks seen fit by the priest or acolyte director. Traditions for acolytes vary from church to church. Some traditions call for very specific clothing, ranking, and training, while other traditions perform the role without any vestments or formal training. The festival took place on Saturday, April 17, with over 60 participants. Watch the video to see more of the festival.

Stewardship Workshops Going on Now The goal of this stewardship training is to give parishes an approach to stewardship that includes understanding our relationship between God and our Money and why we give? It is to understand who taught us our life lessons about money and if we should consider that those lessons are not about our relationship with God and our money. Stewardship educational workshops are being held at the following parishes from 9:00 A.M. to 4:30 P.M.each day: All workshops are free to participants. Lunch is provided by each host church. All you need to do is contact Judy Whichard at 252-916-4447 or your deanery representative. All are welcome.
