ZOOM COFFEE HOUR
Back in a previous millennium, a very funny comedian had a skit called “The Morning After the Night Before”. The week after Easter is contextually much the same for a parish priest….so, we will let Canon Mike have a quiet week and meet on Thursday over coffee to talk about … our vaccinations [or lack thereof], who will win the Masters Golf Tournament, the coming of spring … and of course … Mike.
Join us using the following ZOOM coordinates
NOTE THAT THIS IS A DIFFERENT ZOOM CONNECTION THAN FOR PREVIOUS MEETINGS.
