Call for Delegates to Annual Diocesan Convention The 206th Annual Convention of the Diocese of North Carolina will be held at the M.C. Benton, Jr. Convention and Civic Center in Winston Salem on November 18 and 19. During Convention the Diocesan budget for the coming year is approved, resolutions are discussed and voted on, and reports are received from various ministries in the Diocese. Attending Convention is an excellent way to learn how St. Titus’ might support the work of the Diocese or gain support for our own ministries. St. Titus’ is entitled to two voting delegates who are elected by the Vestry. If you would like to be considered to be a delegate please notify Jack, our parish administrator or any member of the Vestry by July 15. Coffee Hour Bingo!
