Attention Convention Delegates. Convention registration is now open. Please visit
http://convention.diocesefl.org
for updated Convention information. Registration has increased to $145 per person.
Pre-Convention Meeting:
• This year our pre-convention meeting will be held in person on
Saturday, January 11 at 10am
at Camp Weed & Cerveny Conference Center. Registration is required to attend, and lunch will be available for $12 following the meeting. Please visit the convention website to register for the meeting.
• The 2015 General Convention of The Episcopal Church has resolved that all dioceses are now required to pledge 15% of their revenue. The Diocese of Florida has an existing Convention Resolution on giving and has historically pledged 10% or more of our revenue. Since this matter is significant enough to justify consideration and conversation by our full convention, it is necessary to have an in-person pre-convention meeting this year. The meeting will not be live-streamed, and all delegates are expected to attend.
Diocesan Social & Banquet:
• This year we are excited to host a Diocesan Social & Banquet on Friday evening prior to Convention. The banquet will be held on January 24 at 5:30pm in the Varn Dining Hall. This will be a wonderful evening of fellowship, live music and feature a delicious meal. All delegates and a guest are invited to attend. This is a separately ticketed event and not a formal part of our Annual Diocesan Convention.
• Banquet tickets are $30 per person and can be purchased on the convention website.
We look forward to seeing you on January 25 at the 177th Annual Diocesan Convention. If you have any questions regarding the information mentioned in this letter, do not hesitate to contact the Diocesan Office at 904-356-1328.
