We have three new deacons! On Saturday, May 2nd, at St. Mary's Episcopal Church in Kinston, we gathered to ordain Stephen Thomas, Nick Kohlmann and Gary Fetter Jr. as deacons. The three of them are front and center in this group picture. Please hold them in your prayers as they continue to grow into this new vocation.

Many thanks to the Rev. Tom Warren and the people of St. Mary's Church for all of their work in hosting our celebration! Thanks also to Canon Stephanie Allen for her leadership in the planning of this liturgy, and to Bishop-Elect Sarah Fisher for preaching.

A great time of joy!
