Special Announcement: We are moving, September 6

After celebrating week after week for 10 years, PISD is asking us to move over to Sigler on Janwood.  Apparently it is quite expensive to A/C the large cafetorium at Vines.  Sigler will be more economical.  September 6 we begin our new adventure.  This is the last Sunday In San Vino.

True?  

 HAPPINESS CANNOT BE TRAVELED TO, OWNED, EARNED, WORN OR CONSUMED.

EVERY MINUTE WITH LOVE, TRUST, GRACE AND GRATITUDE.
