THURSDAY
FLORENCE House of Destiny will be open through Saturday and Oct. 30-31, from 6:30 p.m.-until, at First Baptist Church. Admission is free.

The adventure is suggested for children 9 and older; younger children are encouraged to visit with an adult. Groups of 10 to 12 people will tour the house with a guide; individuals will be placed in a group. Participants may exit the house at any time. Counseling and follow-up will be provided.
