Let us begin by saying thank you, thank you to ALL that helped in so many ways for Bishop Harrison's visit to Epiphany (from those serving at the service to all that had so much to do with the beautiful reception after the service.) It was neat to hear so many people talking and laughing at the reception. A GOOD time was had by all. I also would add that the Bishop had a very positive meeting with the Vestry.
There will be 3 celebrations for this coming Sunday, the 13th---The Baptism of Caden Walker, the Birthday Celebration for November, and the Thanksgiving Covered Dish Lunch. From Bobbie Clear : If you would like to
help decorate for the Sunday Luncheon, please be at the Parish Hall Saturdayat 10.00 a. m.
