The Central Deanery Convocation gathered at Saint Stephen's Episcopal School's new STEAM Center last night as we prepare for the 58th Annual Convention. Hosted by Christ Church of Bradenton, representatives from the Manasota and Venice Deaneries enjoyed updates from Bishop Doug Scharf, DaySpring Camp & Conference Center, and the 2027 Budget presentation. Many of our Diocesan Youth Council members were in attendance as they prepare their first delegation to convention.

The pouring rain did not deter our Northern Deanery Convocation from gathering at St. John Divine Episcopal Church last night. It could have been the call of the barbecue chicken made by St. John's Scout Troop 606 or eager minds hungry for details regarding the 2027 budget, but no seat was left empty in the nave during the meeting. We are so grateful to the volunteers from St John's who welcomed delegates and clergy with a delicious meal and warm hospitality.
