| Two notes to Saint Paul's |
|
|
Beloved friends.
I am deeply appreciative of you prayers and care for me during my recovery from open heart surgery in late summer.
I am doing remarkably well and finding the rehabilitation workouts to be exceedingly helpful. Jennie and I thank you for your care and support. Saint Paul's still has a very important place in our hearts.
Peace and love.

Greetings,
I'm a 70 year old, Episcopalian who enjoys viewing services on the net, and I can assure you that yours are the best! Everything you post to the net is absolutely exquisite: the sanctuary, the sermons, the choir, the vestments. The recordings are flawless and show a careful attention to camera angles and sound quality.
Much Appreciated!
Paul

Celtic Services During Advent
Amid the busyness that leads us to our Christmas celebration, Saint Paul's offers an opportunity to approach this celebration in a more contemplative and meaningful manner. While our Sunday morning worship through scripture, song, and prayer is instrumental in our procession to Christmas, our Celtic Evening Prayer and Communion service will offer a more focused and quiet counterbalance to the frenetic and harried world about us. Each Sunday evening there will be a singular focus on the themes of the Advent season. Themes of Creation, Light and Darkness, Obedience, and Birth and Re-birth will be offered through quiet reflection, focused prayer, calming music, all the antithesis of what we find in the hustle and bustle around us.
