DIOCESAN LEADERSHIP Q&A: GENERAL CONVENTION 2027 AND MORE!

WEDNESDAY, JUNE 11, 7-7:45 P.M. VIA ZOOM

JOIN US to learn about the many opportunities for you to serve the church at the diocesan level, including representing the diocese of New Hampshire at The Episcopal Church’s 82nd General Convention in Phoenix, Arizona in July of 2027. (It’s a dry heat!)

We respect that your parish needs and values your spiritual gifts. And if serving at an additional level of the church also calls to you, please plan to learn more at our Q&A. Recent deputies to General Convention and other past leaders will talk about their experience and answer your questions. Register via the button below. This meeting takes the place of the June Wardens and Treasurers meeting. Please contact Kathy Traynor with questions.
