The Diocesan Altar Guild invites altar guild members and all who wish to attend to Autumn Day Away, a day of fellowship, inspiration, and holiday planning along the beautiful shores of Long Island Sound. Gather at Camp DeWolfe to connect with peers, hear important diocesan updates, and get a head start on preparing your sanctuary for the upcoming season. The afternoon features expert floral arranger Juanita Moon, who will present on preparing the altar for Thanksgiving, Advent, and Christmas, followed by an interactive idea-sharing session—bring photos of your own altars and sanctuaries to share! Attendees are also welcome to stay after closing devotions to explore and enjoy the camp grounds.
