Youngish Adult Ministry Updates

Youngish Adult Book Study w/Rev. Molly: 

This Evening, March 26th

 

Join us in the library on Tuesday evenings in the library for memoir-reading and lively spiritual discussion (and tonight, the 26th, for Keli's homemade vegetable soup!)! Through short excerpts from spiritual memoirs, we'll look at some of the aspects of faith (eg. forgiveness and church). Each week, we'll read a selection from well known memoirs. Using the theme as our guiding principle, we'll engage in discussion from both the material but also and more importantly, from our lives.  We'll end with a spiritual practice. 

Please join us for the following Tuesday evenings: March 19th, 26th, and April 2nd @ 6:00 p.m. in the church library. You can download the readings here:

3/19: Ann Lamott: Traveling Mercies

3/26:  Lauren Winner: Girl Meets God

4/2:  Alice Walker: The Color Purple

Light snacks will be provided.  Join us for the joy of deep conversation!

Lenten Devotional 2019: The Fruits of the Spirit

Here is your chance to follow along with the Lenten season using our  electronic version of the Lenten Devotional written by staff, family members, friends, and parishioners of St. Paul's! 

You will notice a few differences between this electronic version and the spiral-bound booklets laid out in the Gathering Space. This is because we have corrected some dates that were initially listed incorrectly. They are listed correctly in the online version of the devotional. 

We hope you'll enjoy reading reflections from our community and that they will become a part of your own spiritual practices during the season of Lent.

Don't Miss Out On These Faith Formation Offerings!

Don't miss the ongoing Faith Formation offerings on Sunday mornings at 9:00 a.m. for the rest of Lent: Contemplative Prayer/Meditation in the Palmore Room, and Greek Scripture Study on the Beatitudes in the Library!  Each of the sessions stands by itself, so please feel free to join one class one week and then another class the next week OR commit to attending all five. This is intended to be open and welcome to all, whenever you can attend!

Please note: there will be NO Faith Formation on Palm Sunday, April 14 or Easter Sunday, April 21. 

What's Going on at St. Paul's 

for Holy Week & Easter?

There's a lot happening at St. Paul's at the close of this Lenten Season! From the beginning to the end of Holy Week, check out all the opportunities to join together in worship and observe the mystery of Jesus' sacrifice and resurrection. Whether you are most looking forward to a colorful festal day, or are looking for something quieter and more contemplative, we've got the service for you.
