This past Sunday, a handful of community members, including grad students and professors from around town, came together in Kiwanis Park to celebrate the day of St. Francis.

The event was hosted by Grace Episcopal Church and United Methodist Church (UMC), and involved a brief musical program by director of the Ellensburg Women’s Chorus, Sue Wilson, as well as religious blessings by Jen Stuart, UMC pastor, Vern McGee, rector at Grace Episcopal, and James Waggoner, Episcopal bishop.
