ADULTS

The Rector's Forum offers a time and place for engaging conversation that is not anchored to a specific curriculum or topic. Always we consider how to honestly and faithfully live out our Baptismal vows, whatever the topic of the day. 

CHILDREN

WEAVING GOD'S PROMISES -- Ages 8-11 or Grades 3 - 5

Leader: Coleman Graham and company

Location: Blue Room, Children's Ministries Center

Our bigger children will immerse themselves in an Episcopal formation experience rooted in the stories of our faith as presented in Matthew's Gospel. In this first of a three-year cycle, our children encounter the story of our salvation from the fall to our redemption and how we fit into the story. Our theme in this curriculum year is "God loves us and stays with us-no matter what." Every session incorporates theology and history from our Episcopal-Anglican perspective. Questions??? Contact Coleman Graham or Fr. John.

GODLY PLAY -- 4s to 8, Kindergarten thru 2nd grade

Location: Godly Play Room, Children's Ministry Center

We take children and their relationship with God seriously and seek to provide both space to foster encounters with God and the language necessary to make meaning of those experiences. Within the Godly Play classroom, the Biblical narrative is lovingly presented to children using beautiful materials with an invitation to step into each story with awe and wonder. Children are then allowed time to respond to and reflect on their experience of the story.

On All Saints Sunday, November 4, we remember especially those in our parish family and in our families who have died in the past year. Please email the parish office or telephone at (706) 724-2485 by Wednesday, October 31, if you would like to place someone special on the list.

The Saint Paul's Choir sings Evensong Sunday, November 11, at 5:30 PM instead of the Celtic service. Evensong, a service of sung evening prayer, finds its roots in the Medieval English church and has become one of the most beloved liturgies of the Episcopal Church.  At Saint Paul's, the choir sings this beautiful service twice a year.  It is celebrated with the singing of glorious canticles, psalms, songs of praise, and petitions for renewal by the Holy Spirit.   The upcoming Evensong will include music composed by the Reverend Dr. William Dolen including the Preces and Responses, the Magnificat and Nune Dimittis, and the anthem, "I heard the voice of Jesus say." A reception in Tyler Hall follows Evensong and childcare will be available beginning at 5  PM .
