Our Deanery met on Thursday, October 17th at St. Peter's, Sunbury. We discussed our future calendar and how we will help each other in events in our parishes. On Nov. 17th, Christ Church, Elizabeth City will offer a Stop Hunger Now event that the parishes of the Albemarle Deanery will support both financially and with people power. We see the Deanery role as supporting each other in our ministries. We also have set our Pre-Convention Meeting on Saturday, January 11th at 11:00am at Christ Church, Elizabeth City. We set up our Walk About site for the candidates for Bishop in late April. The Acolyte Festival is coming up in March and we discussed how we can help St. Andrews-By-The-Sea with that great event. -Submitted by The Very Rev. John Bonner, III
