Lent, Holy Week, and Easter Offerings Around the Diocese
As the season of Epiphany is nearing its end, it’s helpful to continue to think about the liturgical year as a whole and begin promoting any Bible studies or worship gatherings that your parish plans on hosting during the season of Lent, Holy Week, and Easter. We’d like to be able to create a list of all these seasonal offerings so that those in each deanery will know that there are a multitude of opportunities for worship and connection, even if they are unable to attend their own parish’s gatherings. Please share your gatherings around the diocese with us by filling out
this form.

This year will be the 10th Annual East Carolina Acolyte Festival. All acolytes, directors, youth ministers, and parents are welcome and encouraged to attend. The hope is that participants will return home with both new skills and a renewed enthusiasm for liturgy―literally ‘the work of the people’―and its rich, participatory tradition of Anglican worship.

Interactive Deanery Map
As a reference, we have created a map on Google Maps listing all worshiping communities in our diocese. They are also color coded according to deanery. If you download the
Google Maps
app on your phone, you can open the map there in addition to opening it in your browser.
Not only is this a quick way to see which parishes are a part of what deanery, but it also allows you to get directions to each parish, should you need them. Click
