| Christian Formation This Sunday |
April 29 |
 Opening our Prayer Book - Adult Christian Formation,
Sunday, 9:30-10:30 AM, Berlin Room, Clergy led
The Book of Common Prayer is not just another book nor simply a collection of prayers...
it is a bold expression of how Episcopalians envision God and a means for shaping and renewing the entirety of our Christian lives. We will discuss the full range of resources in the BCP and how to use them. If you have your own BCP, bring it; if not, we will have copies for your use; in either event, bring your curiosity and the questions you always have wanted to ask about the BCP, our prayers, and liturgy.

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. |

Take me out to the Ballpark!
It is that time of year again, for our Third Annual Saint Paul's Night at the Ballpark! This time things are a bit different. Same great night of fun and fellowship, but this time in a brand-new ballpark. Come join us on Friday, May 11, 2018 at 7:05 PM to cheer on our Augusta Greenjackets at SRP Park. They will be playing the Rome Braves, so it will be a great night of baseball. Like last year, your ticket includes admission, an all-you-can-eat dinner of hot dogs, hamburgers, pulled pork, and grilled chicken, along with tea and soft drinks.
We are asking for a $15.00 donation per person to help defray the cost of this event, as it costs the church $25.00 per ticket. Please contact Todd Shafer to reserve your tickets.
