Annual Love Feast

We are invited to come and have dinner with the people of St. Elizabeth's. This is the week of their yearly Thursday Love Feast or "Agape" (AH-gah-pay). You can bring food to share: hummus, salad, pita, olives, dried fruit, cheese, or just come and partake. This will be instead of our weekly meeting. We have the option to stay for their service of foot washing, communion, and stripping of the altar which is part of their Holy Week observance.
