PARIS — The Oxford Hills Area Clergy Association is pleased to announce the return of the Lenten Luncheon Series. The luncheons will be held at the First Congregational church of Paris at 17 East Main Street. The luncheons will occur at noon every Friday, beginning on February 24, and will run through March 31. All churches and community members are invited to join us.
