Happenings in the Diocese

HUGS Camp: Staff and Buddy Camper Applications Open

The planning for HUGS Camp, taking place July 8-13 at Haw River State Park, is underway, and applications for both staff and buddy campers are now open.

HUGS is a unique camp for unique people, bringing together young people of diverse abilities. They overcome barriers of real and imagined differences and build bridges of understanding. HUGS is about acknowledging the good creation in each of us and more fully knowing and loving our God through it. The great differences among campers and staff help all of us learn to appreciate and celebrate our diversity as we recognize our common ground.

Camper applications will be available at a later date.

Registration is Open: Pilgrimage to Wilmington

Pilgrimage dates: May 10-12

Announced earlier this year, registration is now open for the diocesan pilgrimage to Wilmington, North Carolina.

Based on the book Wilmington's Lie by David Zucchino, the subject of the diocesan book study currently underway, the pilgrimage is taking place on the new dates of May 10-12. Participation in the book study is not required to take part in the pilgrimage, but it is recommended that the book be read before departure.

Throughout the three days, pilgrims will integrate learning and experiences from the book with worship and reflection. The pilgrimage includes bus transportation to and from St. Luke’s, Durham, lodging, meals and a host of activities.

Spaces are expected to fill quickly, so reserve yours today!
