Christmas Warmth on a Chilly Day
Posted by Kimberly Allen
Court End Christmas yesterday was a success, thanks to the dozens upon dozens of parishioners involved. Despite the chilly weather, the people of St. Paul's provided warmth and joy throughout the day. In this morning's Richmond Times-Dispatch, Jeremy Slayton captures the spirit of the day:
"We welcome anyone and everyone to experience urban church life," parishioner Cindy Wofford said. Around her, children made Christmas cards, and baskets of essential items were assembled for ElderFriends.
Thanks to Mary Hunter Ayer for spearheading this event; to the
Children's Choir, the Deviators, and Roger Comley's tuba quartet for
music; to the tour guides; to the greeters; to the Ribbons Row vendors;
to the youth and adult decorators; to the activity leaders; and so many
more!
Also, a special acknowledgement to St. Paul's newcomers who participated, including: Nancy O'Donnell (our greeters leader), Patricia Miller, Jean Bacon, Trudy Russell, and Anne Snyder.
