Where to find consecration coverage
|
The joyous events of the consecration weekend resulted in literally thousands of photos, not to mention all the video, and we're working as fast as possible to get it posted on the
diocesan website and social media. A small sampling of photos have been posted in this
photo gallery, and more will continue to be added as they become available.
To be notified as photos and videos are posted, please "like" the
diocesan Facebook page and subscribe to the
diocesan YouTube channel (which still has the raw live stream video, plus videos of the opening liturgical dance and the sermon).

An important message about insurance for clergy and lay staff
|
The diocesan Human Resources Committee has learned that the Episcopal Church Medical Trust is eliminating two of our most popular health plans in 2019: the CIGNA Open Access Plus In-Network and Anthem BCBS PPO 80/60 plans. This will impact 76% of the clergy and lay staff in our diocese who are currently enrolled in a church-provided insurance plan. The Medical Trust has assured us that they will provide new plans with comparable benefits.
This year’s annual enrollment period, which is
October 15 - November 1, will be a critical time for many of us to make new selections from the array of 2019 plan offerings.
Full details on all new plan offerings for 2019, along with enrollment instructions, will be mailed to all current enrollees in October. Until then, please mark your calendars and be on the lookout for annual enrollment materials.
