You may have noticed some boarded up windows—don’t worry, it’s for a happy reason! Stained glass restoration is in progress thanks to the generous support of the Henderson Foundation. In the meantime a few of our friends—like the Prophet Isaiah here—are still present and visible.

Our friends the Hopcats have practice this Sunday! Go follow their page to learn more, and check out last month’s Abbey newsletter for more news on what we’re up to together.

Recently, acquired a sweet projector, which means we can now play old clips on a big screen during practice! Stop by this month for some inspiration from The Spirit Moves or other classic dance resources. As always, feel free to bring your own practice ideas. Also, we are working out availability for May 17 and will post an update when we can.

You never know what a trip to the undercroft might reveal! The Rev. Isaac Martínez, the Abbey’s convenor, discovered a long-lost and wished-for telephone. Construction on the Abbey is not yet finished, but so much has been done by so many faithful people over the years. Work on the undercroft was done by the Rev. Ed Cardoza, now of NH; thank you, Ed!
