PRAYER OF DISCERNMENT
Loving God, give us the grace to listen to you and to one another with discerning hearts as we clarify who we as a community have become. Lead us in understanding your dream for St. Paul's. Inform the hearts of those who will choose our new rector and those who will determine if we are called to move to a new church home. Give us the support and the guidance we need to live in service to you. In the name of your Son, the Way-shower. Amen
CASH CALVIN BARTOLONE
will be Baptized this Sunday, August 2nd, at the 10:30 am service. Please pray for God's blessings on Cash.
"Holy Baptism is full initiation by water and the Holy Spirit into Christ's Body, the Church" (Book of Common Prayer, p. 298).
In the waters of baptism we are lovingly adopted by God into God's family, which we call the Church, and given God's own life to share and reminded that nothing can separate us from God's love in Christ.
CAPITAL CAMPAIGN PARISH MEETING
Please join the Vestry for coffee and goodies on August 16th at 9:15 am. Before we can move forward with any new business, we need to address the "old business" of the Episcopal Church Foundation report. After input from parishioners this spring, ECF created an official report, which is the first step of a potential three-step process to holding a Capital Campaign. The ECF report recommends that we hold this meeting; there has been a lot going on and this is the first opportunity for this important meeting. Copies of the report will be made available.
MEN AT THE TROUGH The monthly men's lunch is this Friday, at 11:30 am!
ADULT CHRISTIAN FORMATION
Each Sunday, 9:15 am to 10:15 am is set aside for Christian Formation (Adult and Children). Beginning Sunday, August 23rd, and most Sundays thereafter, you are invited to gather and openly discuss the day's Scripture Lessons (the Lexicon), including the Old and New Testament, Psalm, and Gospel lessons. Many might like to share what the Lexicon and Scriptures present to them, how the lessons are reflected in our lives, and how they could be applied to enhance and strengthen our faith. All are welcome to join these discussions as one of several components for St. Paul's Christian Formation program.
We might take an education for granted, but not so in Haiti! Your donation, whatever the amount, is needed. Please help us give these kids a chance. Our goal is to fund an entire classroom of 20 students. We currently have 12 full tuitions for a total of $4,200. A full tuition is $350 and this includes lunch. Tuition only is $300. No amount is too small!
USHERS AND USHER COORDINATOR NEEDED FOR 8:00 AM SERVICE
We are seeking someone willing to coordinate the 8:00 am Usher schedule. Ushers are a vital part of our church family. Our Ushers maintain order, meet the needs of the congregants, and want to ensure all feel welcome! If you are able to help this important ministry, please speak with Rev. Bonnie, or call the parish office.
 Faith Family and Hospitality will hold their 2nd annual fun night at the Museum of Discovery TONIGHT from 5:30-8:30pm. It's a night of free supper, free movies in the dome, and full access to all the delightful interactive displays of the museum.
Here is the FFH signup link for our rotation that starts August 16th. Just click below!
