Dear St. Paul’s family,
Our Choir Director, Carla Bowers, has discerned her season of service to God at St. Paul’s has come to an end. She has sung, lead the choir and worshipped faithfully for over 25 years in this place and she will be missed. Carla’s last Sunday will be this Sunday, May 25th. If you would like to contribute to an offering for Carla, please send checks to the office with “Carla” in the memo line. We will celebrate her after the 10:30 service on Sunday in the Commons. Please join us as we thank her and wish her well.
Blessings, Kedron +

Diocesan Convention Representatives Needed
St. Paul’s is represented each year at Diocesan Convention by your clergy and 2 parishioners. We gather for worship, fellowship and to hear about the work of the Diocese. We also vote on various issues including the budget and elect folks to boards and committees for the Diocese. We need 2 folks to join Rev. Kedron and Deacon Susan this November 8-9 at Kanuga conference center in Hendersonville.
Your costs are covered and it’s an inspiring time of learning about the Christians we are in ministry with around the Diocese. If you are interested, please let Rev. Kedron know. If we have more than 2 people interested, we’ll pull names out of a hat.
If you’d like more info, ask Connie McNeill or Carol Canter our reps from last year.

The Lessons Appointed for Use on the
The Sixth Sunday of Easter
|
|
Acts 16:9-15
During the night Paul had a vision: there stood a man of Macedonia pleading with him and saying, "Come over to Macedonia and help us." When he had seen the vision, we immediately tried to cross over to Macedonia, being convinced that God had called us to proclaim the good news to them.
We set sail from Troas and took a straight course to Samothrace, the following day to Neapolis, and from there to Philippi, which is a leading city of the district of Macedonia and a Roman colony. We remained in this city for some days. On the sabbath day we went outside the gate by the river, where we supposed there was a place of prayer; and we sat down and spoke to the women who had gathered there. A certain woman named Lydia, a worshiper of God, was listening to us; she was from the city of Thyatira and a dealer in purple cloth. The Lord opened her heart to listen eagerly to what was said by Paul. When she and her household were baptized, she urged us, saying, "If you have judged me to be faithful to the Lord, come and stay at my home." And she prevailed upon us.

Psalm 67
1 May God be merciful to us and bless us,
show us the light of his countenance and come to us.
2 Let your ways be known upon earth,
your saving health among all nations.
3 Let the peoples praise you, O God;
let all the peoples praise you.
4 Let the nations be glad and sing for joy,
for you judge the peoples with equity
and guide all the nations upon earth.
5 Let the peoples praise you, O God;
let all the peoples praise you.
6 The earth has brought forth her increase;
may God, our own God, give us his blessing.
7 May God give us his blessing,
and may all the ends of the earth stand in awe of him.
John 5:1-9
A
fter Jesus healed the son of the official in Capernaum, there was a festival of the Jews, and Jesus went up to Jerusalem.
Now in Jerusalem by the Sheep Gate there is a pool, called in Hebrew Beth-zatha, which has five porticoes. In these lay many invalids-- blind, lame, and paralyzed. One man was there who had been ill for thirty-eight years. When Jesus saw him lying there and knew that he had been there a long time, he said to him, "Do you want to be made well?" The sick man answered him, "Sir, I have no one to put me into the pool when the water is stirred up; and while I am making my way, someone else steps down ahead of me." Jesus said to him, "Stand up, take your mat and walk." At once the man was made well, and he took up his mat and began to walk. Now that day was a sabbath.
