Millikin Vespers 2015
The beautiful holiday tradition of Millikin Vespers ("evening prayers") was held last weekend out at Kirkland Fine Arts Center. For those not able to attend, you can listen to the 90-minute performance on NowDecatur.com's podcast: http://www.nowdecatur.com/podcasts/vespers-at-millikin-2015/ 2015 marked the 57th annual performance of Vespers. Thru those 50+ years, nearly 15,000 Millikin students/staff have been involved in one way or another with the event. What a wonderful gift from these students, who mean so much to Decatur. Merry Christmas everyone!!
