We are again partnering with Epiphany in Laurens for Evening Prayer and a simple supper on Wednesdays at 6:00 pm. This Wednesday, Dec. 5th, we will gather at Epiphany and I will preach at the service. The following two, December 12th and 19th, we will gather at All Saints’ and the Rev. Paul Abernathy will preach. Please make a point to join us in this time of faith and fellowship during this holy season. Our annual Christmas Dinner will be Sunday, December 16th at 6:00 pm in the Parish Hall. Be on the lookout for a sign-up sheet closer to the date. I continue to pray for each of you.
