2009 Warden's Retreat

 

Called to Serve:  Courageous Leadership in Uncertain Times

 

Our fourth annual retreat for senior and junior wardens took place on March 7, 2009, at the Church of the Good Shepherd in Raleigh.  In addition to an inspiring  keynote from our diocesan, Bishop Curry, a series of workshops on practical topics complemented worship and valuable fellowship.   Some of our workshop leaders had handouts: 

Lisa Towle - Grant Writing: Grant Finding Basics
                                               Grant Writing Basics 

Martin Brinkley - Workshop on Real Estate Legal Issues  

For further questions, call the School's office at 336-273-5770.  You can view the agenda for the day here as well.

If you participated in this year’s retreat, please share what you learned with members of your Vestry!  We look forward to sponsoring the next Wardens’ Conference on March 6, 2010, at St. Paul's Episcopal Church in Winston-Salem.

Exploring a theology of food:  The theme of this DVD has to do with how food intersects with our faith lives. Food might seem like a strange (even boring?) topic for church study. We know that God calls us to worship, to pray, and to engage in acts of charity toward the poor. But does God really care if we eat pasta or beef for dinner?

 

Toward a missionary diocese: The theme of this DVD has to do with the saying that we have heard in the Diocese of North Carolina for some years: “A missionary diocese… living God’s dream by making disciples and making a difference.” As time passes such phrases sometimes merely become familiar words that have lost their power. And yet, there is deep meaning to this vision, and these DVDs are designed to help us reflect afresh about “living God’s dream.” What do these words mean to us? To our congregations? What do we need to do to make this vision a reality?
