Greetings to all!
This Sunday, February 1, we begin a series of Sunday Conversations (10am)
simply titled, "Questions." Thinking about these conversations reminded me
of some thoughts by Frederick Buechner...
We are much involved, all of us, with questions about things that matter a
good deal today but will be forgotten by this time tomorrow - the immediate
wheres and whens and hows that face us daily at home and at work - but at
the same time we tend to lose track of the questions about things that matter
always, life-and-death questions about meaning, purpose, and value. To
lose track of such deep questions as these is to risk losing track of who we
really are in our own depths and where we are really going.

Sunday Conversations continue this Sun, Feb 1, 10am, in Trinity Hall, as we

this important question.

Thanks to all who helped us welcome Bishop Douglas Hahn to Walnut Hill
last Sunday. Among his other thoughts, Bishop Hahn asked us to consider how
we might encourage constructive conversation regarding "race" and how we
might minister with and to individuals and families wrestling with "addiction."
As always, the Bishop's visit was an affirmation of Walnut Hill's ecumenical
relationship with the Episcopal Diocese of Lexington .
In the community: Pisgah Presbyterian Church (Woodford County) is

In case of inclement weather on Sunday mornings during the winter an
email message will sent by 9am (and posted on the church website) advising
of any weather related changes to the church's service/activity schedule.
Also, a voice message update will be available via the church phone number
(859-263-5304). Feel free to check any of these information sources if winter
weather causes you to wonder about the status of Sunday services and
