The second annual Bishop's Dinner — "Small in Number, Mighty in Ministry" — will take place at the Laurel Point Inn on January 27, 2026 from 5:30-9:30pm. 

The evening will highlight and raise funds for the ministry of our lay-led parishes. We will be celebrating and learning from small, lay-led parishes who are thriving in ministry and making an impact far beyond their numerical size, and we will share in conversation about what we all might learn from their ministries.

Join us for an engaging evening with Bishop Anna. Build relationships across the diocese, delve into her vision for a bright future, and explore the life-giving ministry thriving within the Islands and Inlets.

If your parish is often or occasionally without clergy and you are a lay leader who would be able and willing to lead in services, you are invited to apply online to be considered by the Bishop for a nomination to attend the upcoming eight-week Lay Leadership in Worship course. Upon successful completion of the course, a conversation will be held about how and when you might help lead services of the word in your parish.
