Quiet Day at Church of the Redeemer, Jacksonville

Jacque Crosby presented a program of meditations and prayer at a Quiet Day on October 15, 2011 hosted by the Esther Chapter at Church of the Redeemer Jacksonville. Twenty one daughters representing seven chapters were represented. The response to Jacque's presentation was very positive! The daughters appreciated her leadership in having this day of quiet reflection.

Following lunch Bishop Neil Lebhar was the celebrant for the Eucharist for the 21women attending. He also spoke briefly of the growth of the Anglican church and especially in our diocese.
