Friends:
You are cordially invited to Xanthia and Brock’s Wedding this Saturday at 3:00 pm.  To fall in love in a community that has been so nourishing to our faith in one another, honors us and fills us with praise! Thank you Peace, for all of your many gifts and blessings.  May you all continue to live in the love that is provided freely and that you have so freely shared!
