Holiday Inn by the Bay & Cathedral Church of St. Luke
Has your congregation elected lay delegates to convention?
The priest-in-charge, rector, or vicar should complete a Certificate of Average Sunday Attendance (ASA) and Lay Delegates for 2024. If your church doesn’t have a priest, then a warden or clerk of the vestry or bishop’s committee should certify the lay delegation.
CERTIFICATE OF ASA & LAY DELEGATES TO CONVENTION
The ASA should be the same as you reported (or plan to report) on your Parochial Report for the year 2023. Delegates per church are allotted based on these ASA ranges:
0-50 (two delegates)
51-100 (three delegates)
101-150 (four delegates)
>151 or more (five delegates)
It is not too early to submit your resolution to convention!
