Sabbatical Trip Retrospective: A Photo Exhibit

It's been nearly two months since I returned home from my sabbatical trip, and this week I'm mounting a photo exhibit at the House of Hope Presbyterian Church in St. Paul, MN, featuring some visual highlights of my journey. The exhibit will be on display from January 10 to 31, and what follows is a sampling of some of the photos that are included. (Certain ones of these 11 x14 and 8x10 photos are now available to purchase for $50 apiece, all proceeds going to help support the Mission & Benevolence budget of the House of Hope Presbyterian Church. If interested please contact me at tomf@hohchurch.org. Thank you!)
