Bishop Search Update

Information for Walkabouts
 
The Transition Committee invites everyone in the Diocese of Southern Virginia to attend the Walkabouts September 4-8, 2019.  Walkabouts are opportunities to meet the candidates for our 11th Bishop, hear their responses to questions and help them to learn more about you, our diocese. Click here to learn more about the candidates.
 
Our hope is that you are able to attend one of the locations in the east, our Saturday central location at Chanco or in the west on Sunday.  If you are not able to attend one of these locations there will be a live stream on Friday evening from the Galilee Walkabout.  This live stream will also be recorded and available on our website following the event.  Perhaps congregations could gather in their home parishes and watch the live stream together for those who cannot attend in person!
 
You may submit questions ahead of time for the Walkabouts to annestiles@embarqmail.com.  Please note which walkabout you plan to attend when submitting your question.
The Walkabouts will take place on:
 
Thursday, September 5 at 6:30 pm (Please note time change) 
Hungars Parish, 10107 Bayside Road, Machipongo
 
Friday, September 6 at 7:00 pm
Galilee, 3928 Pacific Avenue, Virginia Beach
NOTE: We will be available live and on-demand this evening on the diocesan website
 
Saturday, September 7 at 1:00 pm

NOTE:  This is a great opportunity to bring the youth to this location to meet the candidates!
