St. Mary's Episcopal Church Kinston

Journey Through East Carolina with Bishop Skirving and other members of our diocese in an exciting opportunity to strengthen your individual life and faith and renew our common life as God’s people in eastern North Carolina. This event began on the first Sunday of Advent (November 29) and will continue for 70 days. You can join at any time! Join us as we MOVE, GIVE, LEARN and PRAY together.

Whether we walk, run, walk, bike, paddle, or swim, we will MOVE together in a virtual journey along the length of U.S. Route 17, a historic highway that crosses through our diocese, from Virginia in the north to South Carolina in the south. You’re invited to register and log your miles with the rest of us, so that we can keep track of the total number of miles. We will each be encouraged to consider the ways that we can GIVE to the needs that we see around us, and we will share resources each week that will help us to LEARN more about the 33 counties that make up the Diocese of East Carolina. We will offer video meditations each week, along with other resources designed to support us as we PRAY for one another, for the ministries of our congregations, and for clarity about God’s mission for the Church in this diocese. Learn all about this journey and register by visiting www.diocese-eastcarolina.org. Feel free to register as an individual, or choose to join in one of the 3 groups from St. Mary's.

As we try to do all these things together, please join our walking groups (join us even if you haven’t registered for this event). All of these groups will begin after November 29th:

 Wednesdays at 4:30pm - all ages (and their animals) will meet at St. Mary’s for a 30 minute walk;
 Fridays at 6:45am - meet at St. Mary’s and join others for 45 minute walk;
 Sundays at 2pm - join others for a 30 minute walk at a slower pace; this group will meet at St. Mary’s and possibly other locations as announced.
