A PERSONAL NOTE FROM HAROLD AND ELIZABETH MORGAN:
We are finally moved out of our house in Clinton and into our new house in Bostic, NC—and also into the rectory in Newberry, where we will be staying most of the time for the near future.  I will be commuting to All Saints’ until my last day on December 31, 2016.  My cell phone remains the same:  864-938-6693.  Our mailing address is now:
