Hello, Lorrie - how nice to meet you! I was delighted to see my little photo in your sidebar and I look forward to getting to know you better through Advent.
ReplyDeleteYour creative ideas are splendid. I just got back to Brampton after 3 weeks in Victoria. I'll miss the first advent this year at Victoria's Christ Church Cathedral happening this Sunday at 4:30 pm. It is the most fantastic service. Make sure you go an hour earlier to get a good seat.
