Hassocks. Many thanks to all who gave in response to this appeal! Nearly $6,000 was given and we have placed an order for 97 kneeling hassocks (in the same style as the ones that we have now). With the addition of the hassocks, we will have approximately 150 hassocks in the nave, which will allow us to have (on average) 5 hassocks in each pew. Many thanks to all of you who contributed to this!
The Laurel Hill tour (Nov 16th, 1-4). There has been a lot of interest in this trip and the bus is now full. You can still go, but you would need to drive yourself. If you'd like to go, please get in touch with Sue Rodgers (Suerod@comcast.net) ASAP.
