Liturgical Mysteries Evening

An Evening of Desserts & Liturgical Mysteries
with Mark Schweizer
Sunday, May 4, 7:00 pm in Trinity Hall
St. Paul's Lutheran Church, Durham
presented in conjunction with St. Philip Lutheran in Raleigh
St. Germaine is a little like Lake Wobegon, Garrison Keillor's fictional hometown. Except that St. Germaine is in western North Carolina and it has a recurring problem with murders. They are solved by Hayden Konig, whose role as detective/chief of police is supplemented by his other role -- organist and choir director for St. Barnabus Episcopal Church. Who knew that so many crimes could have a liturgical connection?
 
Whether or not you've had a chance to read The Alto Wore Tweed or any of Mark Schweizer's other books in our library, you'll enjoy this evening of conversation, music, and dramatic reading.
 
You are invited to bring a dessert which will be shared by all in attendance. If you need a ride, please contact the church office.
