Happy Sunday! We hope that everyone was able to stay safe and warm with the wintery weather this past week. This special edition of Headlines will include dates for events that had to be rescheduled due to the snow days. Thanks in advance for your patience and understanding as we work to get all these events reworked into the schedule. See everyone tomorrow!

Emory & Henry Choir Performances

Father Josh is pleased to welcome the concert choir from his alma mater--Emory & Henry College--for performances at ESK and St. John's Cathedral on Friday, March 13. The ESK program will be roughly 35 minutes, but you can catch the full performance that night at 7 p.m.  

The choir is able to tour because of the gracious hospitality of host families who make a guest room available to two or more singers for one night. If you would be interested in hosting two or more singers in your home on the evening of Friday, March 13, please contact Father Josh at hill@esknoxville.org by March 1.
