This year’s Liturgical Practicum promises to be a dazzler.
Location: All Saints of North America Church 18700 N. 107th Avenue Unit 5 Sun City, AZ
This will be a veritable and vital venue for viewing, verifying, and valuing venerable vesperal, and vigil verities. Veteran vicars will vividly verbalize valuable liturgical variations, vocabulary, viewpoints and visions. Vigilant participation will prevent virtual viewers and vested clergy from being left vulnerable, voiceless, or virtually vexed in a vocational void. Verily, this vibrant venue will provide vast volumes of valuable information, versatile wisdom, vivid examples, and vigorous experience!
