The outing is postponed due to Hurricane Isabel
Head Deacon Jennifer Sandberg and I will be leading an outing next Friday, September 19, to the Franciscan Monastery, at the corner of 14th and Quincy Streets NE, and Icon and Book Service (a book and supply house for the Eastern Orthodox churches), both in the Brookland neighborhood of northeast Washington.
See "Continue reading" for more information.
