Pilgrimage, Winter Session
!!!Coming January 21!!!
If you are a newcomer to St. Paul's desiring to learn more about the Christian faith, seeking baptism
or confirmation as an adult, or a long-term member
of the parish who simply wants to learn more about
how to live out your faith through this Christian community, Pilgrimage is for you!
We will begin our winter session, the second half of the Pilgrimage, on Monday January 21 at 6:30. In this nine-week course we will explore how we live out our beliefs through worship and ministry and how to belong more fully. As you get to know us, we look forward to knowing you better.
Childcare is provided.

Hazardous Saints:
In this Adult Christian Ed course we
will examine six holy people of God and use them to examine what makes a person a saint, what makes each of them hazardous, and how each is challenging us to claim and grow into our own sainthood.
This Sunday morning we will focus on
Dorothy Day
. Join us in the Parish Hall at 9:45.
Hope to see you there.

Coldest Nights News
The shelter has been open over 20 nights. There has been a decline in the number of guests this season due to many factors. Five of last season's regulars are now in housing thanks to The Journey Home and the Murfreesboro community.
Our program recently received a Dandridge Trust grant from the Diocese of Tennessee for 2019. These funds will be used to help with security costs.
Thanks for your continued support of this life-saving ministry. Any questions, please contact Liz Huber at outreach@stpaulsmboro.org.
