[Info] Conference-Sharing Jerusalem

[Albert Scariato]

Dear Parishioners,
Recently Saint John's hosted a conference on "Sharing Jerusalem."  This was done through the efforts of parishioner John Van Wagoner.  I attended a good part of that conference and was very impressed by the many ways "Sharing Jerusalem" is working to bring peace to the Holy Land.  The conference described below promises to be an exciting and informative way for people to become involved in this noble endeavor.
Blessings,
Albert+

St. Columba’s is located at 4201 Albemarle Street, NW, in Washington, DC, one block west of Wisconsin Avenue, just
behind Best Buy at the intersection of Wisconsin and Nebraska Avenues. It is a little more than two miles north of the
Washington National Cathedral and approximately one mile south of the District line.
To get to the church by subway, take the Metro Red Line to the Tenleytown station. Take the west exit, turn
right onto Albemarle Street, and walk one block to the church.
There is a small parking lot behind the church on Butterworth Place. When parking on the street, be sure to
observe the signs that indicate where you may and may not park. There is handicapped drop-off/pick-up area
designated on 42nd Street on Sundays, and there are three handicapped parking spaces in the church lot on
Butterworth Place. Handicapped access from that lot is through the Nursery School entrance on the ground floor and down the hall to the elevator at its end.
