Pastor Lawrence’s journey will begin March 1, and will include a trek on the Camino de Santiago, a pilgrimmage route that ends at the northwestern tip of Spain.
The weekend included a welcome celebration for interim pastor, the Rev. Joanne Bartel, a community lasagna dinner, and a free screening of the film, The Way, at the Strand Theatre.
The film features a man’s journey along the Camino de Santiago.
