CORRECTION
Life Celebration for the Rev. Al Smith 
Our previous announcement about the date of the service for the Rev. Al Smith was incorrect. Our apologies. The celebration will be held on Friday, January 8 at 1 p.m. at St. Bartholomew's, 16275 Pomerado Rd., Poway, CA 92064. Clergy are welcome to vest in white stoles. Donation checks in honor of Father Smith's life should be made out to "St. Bartholomew's Episcopal Church" with "Fr. Al Fund" in the memo line. You may also donate online. Condolences to the family may be sent to the St. Bartholomew's office at the address above.  

Give rest, O Christ, to your servant with your saints, where sorrow and pain are no more, neither sighing, but life everlasting.
