Directory t Addison Independent, Thursday, April 10, 2014

INSIDE Whether in a formal group, church, synagogue, or mosque, or in a private and solitary way, many people are connected to traditions of worship. With the annual publication, we seek to provide a directory of venues and resources that help draw a picture of the many places of worship within our communities.

This worship directory comes at a time when many faiths celebrate Passover and Easter. Others simpy mark the season with new growth and life as we emerge from winter into spring. Whatever the cause of celebration, we are fortunate to have a vibrant and active community of worshipers within our county lines.
