A Partnership of The Duke Endowment and Duke Divinity School, the 2010 Convocation on the Rural Church will bring together leaders from rural North Carolina churches, Duke Divinity School, The Duke Endowment, and both United Methodist Conferences in North Carolina for worship, plenary sessions, workshops, and conversation about the rural church and how it can engage in even more vibrant ministry and mission.

Because of funding from The Duke Endowment, costs for this event are kept to a minimum.  The total cost per participant for the full event includes two nights lodging, meals, and program materials, and is as follows:

• $25 if you choose to share a room with a colleague
• $125 if you opt for a private room that you may also share with your spouse and/or family
• Extended stay options and family meal tickets are available for an additional fee.

Online registration will begin on May 24. You will receive a link to the registration site and more information in the coming months. Please register promptly, as registration is on a first-come, first-served basis, and spaces fill up very quickly.
