If you plan to go for the Labyrinth Walk we need to know early,so we can arrange carpool and food. (Jeanne will be bringing enough potluck for all participants, so you don't have to worry about that. Since I won't be leading that session the fee goes for food, transportation and donation.  If you'd like to also give an extra free will donation at the Friary, you may do so. They are a fabulous group of Franciscans who do wonderful work. Their Full Moon Labyrinth walks have gathered quite a diverse community for many years. The evening program starts at 7 pm with a Pot Luck, followed by a Labyrinth Walk and Taize Service. This is a lovely ecumenical service of heartfelt, easy to sing music and prayers.
