VISIWOMEN MEETING - APRIL 10TH
We continue to read our book, The Life of Mary As Seen By the Mystics By Raphael Brown, for our next meeting, Thursday April 10! Because it is 280 pages long, we have divided the book into thirds for discussion, and will be discussing only pages 100 -200 on the 10th. Once again, we meet in the lower church at 6:30 for a short prayer time and then go to the library for our 6:50 discussion.
