School of Ministry - Re-Thinking Mission

Living into our vision of a missionary diocese is a challenge, especially as we bring a deepening understanding of mission to bear upon that which we are and do in our own parishes. This fall the School of Ministry will host three regional events on the theme Re-thinking Mission. We'll discuss mission as a diocesan family... with fellowship, a common meal and worship. Join us on Saturday, Sept. 10, at St. Mary's Church in High Point, with Bishop Marble; Sept. 17 at St. Peter's Church, Charlotte, with Bishop Gloster; or Oct. 1 at St. Paul's Church, Cary, with Bishop Curry. They're open to all. You may register online at www.episdionc.com/schoolofministry, or call 336-273-5770.
