'Prayer Walk' scheduled

The Fellowship of Windward Churches, a coalition of 14 mostly evangelical/conservative Christian groups, is holding a morning "prayer walk" on March 15.

At 8:30 a.m., members will gather at Faith Baptist Church, 1230 Kailua Road, for an hourlong session of worship and instruction, then head out to spread prayer through different parts of the Windward community.

Members will split up into teams, but not all will be walking: Some will hike, while others will drive or ride boats or bikes. One clergyman is even planning to fly over each neighborhood in an aircraft.

They'll gather back at 11:30 a.m. at Faith Baptist Church for lunch.

Concert slated for March 21

The Phillips Academy Cantata Choir and Chamber Orchestra will perform Bach's "The Passion According to St. John" in a concert at 7:30 p.m. March 21 at St. Andrew's Cathedral.

The musical group is composed of members from a high school in Andover, Mass., and led by William Thomas. Featured soloists include Joe Dan Harper, Allen Combs and Krista River, all members of the music faculty.

The free concert will be dedicated to the late Richard Hicks, a longtime St. Andrew's Cathedral member.
