 Please recycle your bulletins
Please notice and utilize the eight blue Recycling bins now located throughout our buildings for your bulletins and other papers. Your Creation Care Committee spearheaded the ministry by collecting and recycling most of the paper generated here at Saint Paul's to better care for our resources and to reduce the amount of waste we create.
Volunteers are needed to gather and empty these bins of paper every
Monday on a rotating schedule. Please
contact Nancy Cercy to volunteer or for more information.

Lenten Book Study 
Beginning Sunday, February 18 & Wednesday February 21, Tyler Hall
This Lenten season, we invite the whole community at Saint Paul's to participate in a series of holy conversations grounded by a reading of Verna Dozier's beautiful, profound, and highly readable book: The Dream of God. The clergy will guide conversations during the formation hour Sundays (9:30 AM) and Wednesdays (noon to one) in Tyler Hall. The clergy also will lead Noonday Prayers in the Chapel each Wednesday at 11:45 AM.
Whether or not you attend these holy conversations, please participate by reading this wonderful book. 30 copies of
The Dream of God
will be available in the narthex and parish office or
order here
. Please give what you can afford: $5 - $20 by check-memo: LENTEN BOOK.
Contact the clergy for further information.

My Faith - My Life -- grades 6-12
Youth Formation held in the Youth Room, Upstairs Parish House. But first, breakfast to get the morning going!
|
 SPARK -- Ages 8-10 or grades 3-5
Location: Room #1, Children's Ministries Center
Our older children will again immerse themselves in SPARK, where they will work with the same themes and Scripture that we all encounter in common worship. Every lesson follows a four-part pattern: Gather, Open the Bible, Activate Faith, and Send. Week after week, the children and their leaders gather together, explore the Scriptures, enjoy one another's company, pray, and discover God's presence in their midst. |
 Godly Play -- Ages 4-7
Location: Room #2 Children's Ministry Center
ALL children inherently know God, but it is up to us to give them the language of the Christian faith so they can grow to make meaning of our faith in their own lives. Godly Play is a profound method rooted in Montessori principles that forms child spirituality by attending to their natural gifts for wonder and discovery. |

Good Friday Offering
Through the years many Episcopalians have found the Good Friday Offering to be an effective way to express their support for the ministries of the four dioceses of the Province of Jerusalem and the Middle East. Pastoral care, education and health care continue to be primary ministries through which the reconciling spirit of the Christian faith serves all in need. The generous donations of Episcopalians help the Christian presence in the Land of the Holy One to be a vital and effective force for peace and understanding among all of God's children.
To make a donation please make your check payable to Saint Paul's Church and write "Good Friday Offering" on the memo line.
