The Wednesday Lenten Programs got off to a good start last night. The meal by the Discovery Class was great, and people seemed to be very pleased with the options. A tip of the hat goes to the Rev. Dr. C. Daniel Crews, provincial Archivists, and the Rev. Dr. Nola Knouse, head of the Moravian Music Foundation, for their contribution to our programs. There were c. 25 persons in their seminar.

The Advent Class Chicken Pie Supper was a real treat. Those of us who ate and enjoyed it, thank the class. The class sends out a big thank-you to all who attended. The menu consisted of Chicken Pie, gravy, sweet potatoes, greenbeans, rolls, selected deserts, tea and coffee.
