In honor of COVID, the 23rd Annual Predig Gig will take place on Saturday, January 23, 2021 (see what we did there), in a virtual format in a Zoom meeting. We'll have a meeting set up with individual breakout rooms, kind of like tables where you can go to and chat with smaller groups of poeple to keep the noise level down. We'll still have a Park Pick Pool, and it will be done virtually as well.
