Attention Parishes:
Information Regarding the
2014 Annual Diocesan Convention History Exhibit

This year's History Exhibit will be set up by Deanery. This exhibit gives each parish a chance to share an historic item (or two) with other parishes and deaneries. Items from closed and historic parishes will also be on display. A letter concerning this exhibit will be mailed out later this week with more information!

Serving Multiple Parishes

One of the ministry opportunities of a Deanery is to see that all parishes are served as there are many smaller parishes that do not have a full-time rector. For example, The Very Rev. John Bonner serves not only as dean of the Albemarle Deanery and rector of Holy Trinity Church in Hertford but also serves twice a month at St. Peter's Church in Sunbury. Several priests in our Diocese serve more than one parish as they fulfill the larger calling of a Deanery. We are very grateful for their time and service.
