Last year, the Deanery Family Conference and Youth Retreat with Bishop Michael at Greek Peak had over 150 people participating in the two-day event filled with religious presentations and lectures, fellowship, liturgical services, great food, and fun. It was a tremendous success.
 
This year, the event is scheduled on Friday, January 13th and Saturday, January 14th, 2012 at Greek Peak Resort; it will follow the same format and itinerary as last year.  Please invite your Sunday School and Youth groups to come and share this time with Bishop Michael and each other. For those who may not wish to obtain overnight accommodations at Greek Peak Hope Lake Lodge, there are several other nearby options (motels at lower rates) in Cortland NY.
 
On Friday, His Grace will host a dinner for deanery clergy, Matushki, and families -- as last year. I hope that everyone will take this opportunity for fellowship with Bishop Michael and all clergy families of our deanery.  Please email or call me as soon as possible to confirm your attendance (or regrets).
