Who We Are

Eyes on Richmond

Eyes on Richmond, the Friday Forum at St. Paul’s Episcopal Church, is held in the church parish hall each Friday in the fall, and covers a range of issues facing the city. Beginning in September and continuing for 10 weeks, this Friday luncheon features food catered by leading area restaurants and speakers of interest to the Richmond community. The audience is invited to actively participate in the discussion, and a question-and-answer period follows the presentation. This year marks our 14th season hosting this important and educational outreach ministry.
