Last week was an exciting time for the Diocese of East Carolina! Bishop Fisher had the opportunity to celebrate two installations of new rectors: one for the Rev. Jeff Roy at St. Andrew's in Morehead City, and one for the Rev. Dr. BJ Buracker at St. Andrew's on the Sound in Wilmington. Both were celebrations of where each congregation has been and where they see themselves going as new chapters unfold before them.
What a joy it is to see the Spirit moving in the parishes of East Carolina!
It's always a joy to hear about the good work our parishes are doing in the world! Here's some exciting news from St. St Paul's Episcopal Church_Wilmington NCIt was our pleasure to welcome Steve McCrossan, Executive Director of NourishNC, to St. Paul’s on Sunday. NourishNC does amazing work in our community, transforming lives by feeding food-insecure children. Over the past decade, the people of St. Paul’s have faithfully supported this organization, giving a total of $101,232. Thank you NourishNC and thank you St. Paul’s for living out Christ’s love!
I had the joy of spending time with Grace Church in Whiteville yesterday. A few decades ago, they partnered with Christ the King Lutheran, and they've been worshipping together for years now. It was inspiring to me to see two congregations come together, realizing that we are stronger when we partner with the Holy Spirit and each other. Not pictured: the huge and delicious lunch they served after service!
