Annual Conference

2021 Virtual Annual Conference

We had all hoped to meet in person in Seattle for our annual conference this year. The surge in Covid-19 pandemic and the Delta variant validates our decision to have a virtual conference instead.  Your conference committee has been hard at work putting together our 2021 virtual conference.  They have complied an awesome event over 3 days to include worship, socializing, keynote address, education, business meeting and more!  The 2021 Conference Page has more details and registration information.

About the VGEC Annual Conferences

One of the most anticipated and popular activities of the Vergers Guild of the Episcopal Church is our annual conference which takes place at a member parish each year.

These exciting events are normally held Thursday through Sunday in late September to mid-October. Each conference has a series of sessions that cover several topics of interest to the verger and several events that foster fellowship, learning, and worship during the weekend.

Each conference culminates with a festival Holy Eucharist with a procession of all vergers in attendance. Each conference has an official conference photo to commemorate the weekend. Photos for all past conferences are located HERE.
