Four Rivers Deanery Meeting

Posted on: February 3rd, 2012 by Meg Holland No Comments
St. Mary’s, Madisonville
Saturday, February 18, 10:30 AM – 2:00 PM

Lay and clergy representatives from each of the churches in our Deanery (the geographical region stretching from Owensboro to Hickman) will discuss how congregations fund the work of the diocese with the goal of presenting a new proposal at the next Diocesan Convention. While this may not be the most exciting topic, it is vital that our congregation be represented at the table as options are explored that will effect our budgeting process in the future, as well as the ability of the diocese to carry out its mission. Please contact the Rev. Libby Wade if you are able to go.
