Yesterday we had our Annual meeting at Small Parish. Among other things, we elected new vestry members and delegates to Convention. Our parish gets three voting lay delegates and as many alternates to each yearly Convention. I am among the alternate delegates.
Convention is one of my favorite parts of Church life. Each February, I see many of my friends from around the Diocese at these yearly gatherings. This years' Convention of the Episcopal Diocese of the central Gulf Coast is in Pensacola. Since I am an alternate, unless there is a real need for me to step in and vote in place of one of our regular delegates, I can attend Convention and totally enjoy the experience.
Yay, Church!
