Windows to Heaven - Russian Icons

There is a spectacular exhibit of Russian icons from the private collection of Daniel Bibb at the Biedenharn Bible Museum in Monroe. Some Mr. Bibb’s collection premiered in 1998 at the Biedenharn Museum, however, many more have been added to the collection and have never before been seen in public. All are welcome. The museum hours are Monday through Saturday from 10 a.m. – 5 p.m., and Sundays from 2 – 5 p.m. There is no fee for admission. Go see this wonderful exhibit!

Thanksgiving Day Eucharist

St. Andrew’s Church will celebrate Holy Eucharist on Thanksgiving Day at 10:00 a.m. As is our tradition, we will decorate the altar with local produce and plants of the harvest. This celebration helps complete our Rogation Day blessing of the fields and gives us all a chance to thank God for the bounty of the harvest. Thanks to all who helped by bringing decorations.
