Connectional Lay Council Membership in Movement

Greetings Regional Director Hank Dobson & members of the Eastern North Carolina Episcopal District,

I pray this email finds you well. As part of our ongoing efforts to strengthen and streamline membership across the Connectional Lay Council, we are hosting a Lay Council Membership Training Meeting for those who support membership at the conference, district, and local church levels.

Please share this email including the Zoom link, along with the attached flyer, with Conference Presidents, District Presidents, Local Presidents, and 2nd Vice Presidents within the Eastern North Carolina Region who are responsible for Lay Council membership coordination. This session will provide guidance, alignment, and support as we move forward together under our Membership Campaign sub-theme, 'Membership in Movement: A Moving Lay Council Moves the Mission Forward!'

Thank you for your leadership and support as we work together to move the Lay Council forward.

Zoom link for March 22, 2026 meeting at 7pm EST:
