Lay Ministry
Lay Ministry Sunday
Bishop Burbidge is initiating Lay Ministry Sunday, August 30, in the Diocese of Raleigh to celebrate God’s call to all the baptized to use their gifts in service to others and to the Church. Parishes are invited to take advantage of this Sunday to acknowledge both the sanctity of God’s call and the generous response of lay ministers. Parishes are asked to include Bishop Burbidge’s letter to the lay faithful in their bulletins on Lay Ministry Sunday. Additional parish resources to help mark this celebration are available here in both English and Spanish.
