The first annual Elizabeth City District Lay Rally & Expo will be held on Sunday, February 27, 2011, at First United Methodist Church in Elizabeth City. This event replaces the former District Lay Rally and is designed to be more appealing to laity of all ages as well as clergy. Nursery services will be provided.
The Expo portion of the event begins at 3:00 PM and will highlight local programs and lay-driven ministries that are positively impacting communities in the Elizabeth City District. The Lay Rally portion of the event follows the Expo beginning at 4:00 PM and will be designed as a worship experience that will include special music, drama, congregational singing and a few “surprises”. Rev. Tim Russell, who currently serves as Assistant to the Bishop and Interim Superintendent of the Rocky Mount District, will deliver the sermon for the afternoon. Circle your calendars for February 27 and plan to participate in the District Lay Rally & Expo. Your time invested will be time well-spent.
