Born in Jacksonville, Florida Victoria Hammond is a graduate of Evans High School and has a Bachelor's degree in Music Education from Augusta College and a Masters degree in Education from Cambridge College. Victoria began singing in the St. Paul's Choir in 1991. She married Steve Hammond in 1991 and is the mother of Ina Marie and Gabriel, both members of the Canterbury Choir. Nikki Wickware is a retired music educator with 33 years experience teaching grades P-K through 5 in both Florida and Georgia. Her education includes a Bachelor of Music Education degree from Florida State University and a Master of Education degree from Florida Atlantic University.

Summer Formation
A History of Christianity (video & conversation) Clergy led.
Sundays Thru August 13, 9:30-10:30 AM, Berlin Room,
(Children and Youth Formation resumes August 20)
Join our ongoing exploration of the history of Christianity as we enjoy the next installment of Diarmaid MacCulloch's A History of Christianity followed by conversation generated from your questions, observations and insights.
THIS Sunday we continue following the missioners of the "first Christianity" from Syria into the Far East.
Interesting tidbits from last Sunday: 1) in the second century, a betting man would have wagered that Christianity would be headquartered in Bagdad, not Rome; 2) Eucharistic Prayer D in The Book of Common Prayer is the most ancient our all our prayers with roots tied to the earliest known Eucharistic Prayers of 4th c. Syriac Christianity. |
