The Labyrinth Walk for Peace is 1:00 -4:00 PM, tomorrow, at Holy Trinity. Walk the outdoor labyrinth for Inner Peace, Family Peace, Community Peace, and World Peace.

The Droppers have invited everyone to their house on January 1 for an open house at 4:00. Come one, come all.

Sunday, January 13, the Rev. Canon Michael Hunn of the Diocese of NC will come to preach and celebrate. He and Bishop Marble met with the Vestry on our changes in December, and now he is coming to meet with the congregation after church.
