Anyone is welcome to attend. There will be two sign-up sheets in Buck Hall beginning on Sunday, February 8th. One is for those of you who would like to provide soup or bread to serve 10 – 12 people, and the other sign-up sheet is for each family who would like to attend so we know how many to plan for. If you would like to provide soup, find that family recipe you would like to share and show off your culinary talents.

The Book of Common PrayerAfter Shakespeare’s works and the King James Bible, no book has more influenced the English language than the Book of Common Prayer. It has helped to shape writers from Jane Austen to Charles Dickens, to T. S. Eliot and Joan Didion.
On Thursday evenings during the Christian season of Lent, Emmanuel Episcopal Church in Grass Valley will offer a five-part series on common prayer, beginning on February 26 and continuing March 5, 12, 19 and 26. The sessions will begin with a soup supper at 5:30 and presentations will run from about 6 until 7 pm. |
