Education & Formation
We provide opportunities for education and spiritual formation for all parishioners - adults, youth and children. These include Sunday activities before and after worship, events throughout the week, and special seasonal programs.
Members of the ministry serve as Sunday school teachers; we plan and facilitate activities in the areas of education and spiritual formation; and we are responsibile for seasonal programs throughout the church year, as well as for preparing persons for confirmation as adult members of the church.
Meetings are the 2nd Wednesday of every month at 6:30 p.m. in the Guild Room. If you are interested in helping out with this work or joining this committee, please email Wayne Floyd at waynefloyd1@verizon.net.

A suffragan bishop is an assisting bishop who does not automatically succeed a diocesan bishop. A suffragan bishop may be elected bishop or bishop coadjutor. A diocese may elect a suffragan bishop, but no diocese may have more than two suffragan bishops except with the special consent of a General Convention.

One of the three orders of ordained ministers in the church, bishops are charged with the apostolic work of leading, supervising, and uniting the church. Bishops stand in the apostolic succession, maintaining continuity in the present with the ministry of the Apostles. Diocesan bishops hold jurisdiction in their dioceses, with particular responsibility for the doctrine, discipline, and worship of the church.

The Archbishop of Canterbury is "Primate of All England" and head of the Church of England. The churches of the Anglican Communion may be defined as the churches in communion with the See of Canterbury (which includes the Episcopal Church of the United States). The Archbishop of Canterbury convenes the bishops when they gather, especially at the Lambeth Conferences, and sits with them as "greatest among equals." Canterbury holds a position of honor and preeminence in the Anglican Communion but holds no official authority over the churches of the communion or its individual members.

In the Episcopal Church (and other Christian churches), just as Christmas is not one day but a whole season, so the feast of Easter is not just one Sunday but lasts for 50 days, from Easter Eve to Pentecost Sunday. The season is one for rejoicing, to celebrate Jesus’ resurrection. You will hear the celebratory word “Alleluia” often at services during this season.

Whitsunday
This Sunday is my namesake day - my middle name being Whitson, which derives from the Middle English Whitsonday or Whitsunday or White Sunday, in recognition of the white liturgical garments traditionally worn on the day of Pentecost.
I’m a Jr. so the name was inherited for me from my father, the original Wayne Whitson Floyd. [...]
