One Response to “TRANSMISSION resumes + field trips”
John, Elizabeth, and Jackson are still unsure if they’ll be able to make it on Wednesday – they’ve had a lot of company and are suspicious of taking such a young baby on the subway. So all the oohing and ahing might have to wait…
If they don’t make it, we’ll still do worship, of course. Personally, I’d like the ritual to be unrelated to Avalon. There is, after all, a lot more to our community than our dreams of celebrating a resurrection at Avalon. If J, E, and J don’t make it, maybe we could do some sort of Bible study? Or, since Avalon planning will involve lots of sitting and talking, maybe we could do something more creative?
