Join us for an evening presentation by the Very Rev. Ross and Mrs. Gwin Jones. They will share their expertise and experience from four years of ministry in Jerusalem. Mr. Jones is the recently retired Dean of St. George's College Jerusalem. Prior to his service in Jerusalem, he served in parish and campus ministry in Florida, Mississippi, Oklahoma and Louisiana. He and his wife recently moved to Asheville, N. C., but frequently visit their daughter and her family who are Church of the Advocate parishioners. Mr. Jones will assist at the 9:00 service, and Mr. and Mrs. Jones will also lead an Adult Education Class on Sunday morning, October 17, as a part of our series on "Sharing Our Many Blessings." In this time, they will share the work of our denomination in the Holy Land highlighting a program that our parish supported with the Lenten offering this year and will support through the Advent 2004 offering. They will be with the Episcopal Campus Ministry on Tuesday evening, October 19, beginning at 5:30 p.m.
