Heading to the Diocese of Texas Camp Allen for a Verger Retreat in 2019From October 24-27th of 2019 the 31th VGEC Conference will be at Camp Allen in Navasota, Texas - about 70 miles from Houston, Texas. Camp Allen is a modern year-round facility located one hour northwest of Houston, Texas in Navasota. The hotel and conference center are located in a beautiful pine forest with rolling hills and two lakes. Camp Allen accommodates a variety of spiritual, social, corporate, and educational events for all ages but we will have it all to ourselves. You will be greeted by an experienced management team with a passion for service and Christian hospitality. Registration will be live on April 1, 2019. We suggest you plan to fly into Bush Intercontinental Airport on October 24th and there will be shuttle busses available to take you directly to Camp Allen. Leaving on Sunday the 27th, you should plan on a late afternoon/evening flight to allow time to shuttle back to the airport. You do not need to rent a car unless you want to explore Houston either before or after the retreat. About the VGEC Annual ConferenceOne 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. Complete coverage of the VGEC Annual Conference is available at vergersvoice.org - the official news blog of the VGEC.
