A Holy Day at Kirkridge

The Kirkridge Retreat Center* in Bangor, PA celebrated the holidays on Sunday December 7th with an evening filled with music, fellowship, and a delicious turkey Potluck Dinner. The evening began with some comedy provided by Young Peter and continued with a wonderful selection of holiday tunes performed by Maria. A special reading of a classic children book was done by Mary Ellen before the gathering of friends adjourned into the dining area where everyone was met with a feast beyond imagination.

The dinner conversation was as varied as the selection of culinary treats the participants brought to the celebration. The menu included philosophy, enlightenment, and a great deal of affection for the friends made throughout the years along with those discovered that night. As warming as the feast was, it did not surpass the warming sensations Kirkridge* has for the souls of those who gather there. Among those who shared their spirit with others were Don and Alice Murray*, Nancy Scheirer*, and Jean Richardson* of Kirkridge* along with Arline M. Smeltz* and Mark Litchy*.
