On August 27, 2023, about 70 people joined in a joyful celebration of our patron, the Rev. Emery Washington, Sr. at Holy Communion Episcopal Church in University City.
A round of applause to the Rev. Chester Hines who coordinated the church staff. We also thank Harry Moppins for directing the choir consisting of members from All Saints & Ascension, Emmanuel, and Holy Communion, and Bishop Deon Johnson for presiding and preaching at the Eucharist. Food and conversation were shared at a reception which followed.
The next annual celebration will take place at St. Stephen’s Church, Ferguson on Sunday, September 15, 2024.
