[Magdalen] New Worship Space

[Ginga Wilder]

Thanks, Jim.  The interior upfit is finally being done.  We should be in
sometime in June.  Our priest in charge is on family leave (his wife died
in April).  I think he is planning to be back about the time we will have
our first service in the new space.  And, we absolutely will welcome,
value, and love everyone who crosses the threshold.
