Friends:
Love is our true destiny. We do not find the meaning of life by ourselves alone. We find it with another.
Annie Haines Memorial Service will be this Saturday at 1:00 pm. If you would like to contribute to the reception (finger food or dessert) please do so. Keep Annie’s family in your prayers.
May 2 will be our Fundraising Feast. The menu of rare delights is yet a surprise. Save the date.
A note from Emily:
Good to hear from you Steve! Thanks for the Ordination congratulations!
We have photos somewhere, but they have not made it from camera to computer yet. I will share with you an article that appeared in my home paper, The Lima News, because it has some nice photos: http://limaohio.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?avis=LI&date=20150204&category=NEWS&lopenr=302049916&Ref=AR
Always thinking of Peace! Being just outside NYC, there are a few things at St. Stephen’s here in Hicksville that are reminiscent of that community: many jazz lovers, artists, and actors!
Peace, Emily
