Annual Conference
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.
Future Conferences
If you are interested in hosting a VGEC Annual Conference, please contact the chair of the VGEC Annual Conference Committee at conference@vergers.org. You will be asked to submit this VGEC Annual Conference proposal document as part of the process.
