First Friday Walk for Justice and Peace

• Friday, August 2, 2024
• 5:30 to 6:00 p.m.
• Rain or shine
• Start at the Episcopal Church of Saints Andrew and Matthew (SsAM) 719 N. Shipley Street
• End at Rodney Square

Join us on a sunny summer afternoon for this peaceful, prayerful walk through the center of Wilmington to promote an end to racial and social injustice and to reduce gun violence in our city. We gather in the SsAM parking lot with people from various faith communities to share in this active, visible commitment to justice and peace. We walk in silence, ending at Rodney Square. Many participants wear orange in support of gun safety.

Bazaar Jewelry News From Linda Hardy

Thank you for your generous contributions to the jewelry table for the bazaar. What fun it was to see such beautiful gems and, as one store advertises, wearable art! We accept jewelry all through the year and, usually, donations until August will be shown in that year's bazaar. The items we get after August will be placed in the bazaar for the next year.  

Jewelry pricing parties:  Wednesday, August 7 at 1:30 p.m. We'll meet in the lounge. Bring a friend. And, if you can, bring a ball point pen [no markers], and/or a twelve-inch ruler; I have enough scissors for all. We'll also need some nonglare tape.

Food will be served--something sandwichy, something cookieish and iced tea. Please let me know if you can come! -Linda Hardy 302 235 8612 or lindadhardy@comcast.net
