Each February the Episcopal Diocese of East Tennessee holds its annual convention. This year it was held at the Episcopal School of Knoxville. This event is where delegates from its member churches gather to renew friendships, make connections, and conduct business. My wife and I with our friend Tammy and our priest Fr. Drew were in attendance to represent our parish, St. Peter’s Episcopal Church in Chattanooga. It was good to get away overnight too. Here are a few snaps of our time there.
Today was a special day for my parish, St. Peter’s Episcopal Church. We welcomed our new Priest Fr. Drew Bunting. He is going to be a blessing to me and our church. I really appreciate that he is a nerd and that makes him relatable to a lot of people. Fr. Drew welcome to St. Peter’s, we are glad you are with us. May God be with your ministry among us.

Happy Easter to you and yours. Jesus is alive and kicking so the story goes.
This is St. Paul’s Episcopal Church in Chattanooga, Tennessee. For the last five weeks we have come here on Wednesdays to participate in the Thorne Sparkman School of Religion that is a series of lectures on matters of faith. We have talked about religion in the public square this year and have had some great speakers talk about that heady subject. It’s been a blessing to be here at Lent where we have worshipped and fellowshipped. Thanks to our friends John and Connie for sponsoring us.
