“Laying Down One’s Life”
"This is my commandment, that you love one another as I have loved you. No one has greater love than this, to lay down one's life for one's friends.”

Seasonal Events
"The Shack" by Wm. Paul Young was a New York Times bestseller for many weeks. Since its publication in 2007 it has sold over 3 million copies!
"The Shack" is a riveting story of loss, pain, grief, redemption and healing with some very unique theological premises.
The Daughters of the King invite you to join them in the library on Sunday, May 20 at noon for a conversation with the Rector about this profound and thought-provoking book.
