People of Faith Called to Participate in Gulf Oil Spill Tomorrow

This week's Please Note features an interview with the Rev. Paul Winton, Rector at St. John's Episcopal Church in Charlotte who has called for all people of faith to come together in a prayer vigil for the Gulf oil spill tomorrow evening, from 7-8pm. St. John's has created numerous resources for this vigil, available to all congregations who are able to join on Thursday, June 17, or would like to hold a future event.

Keep the faith,
+Michael
