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. 
Next Week July 16 - July 22
Manna Pantry
Friday, July 20, 5 PM

We've changed the time for Manna Pantry Prep to allow more individuals the opportunity to serve in this important ministry.  Beginning this month, Friday Manna Pantry Prep will begin at 5 PM in Tyler Hall.  Please join us!  

Manna Pantry is a ministry that provides food to 150 families and individuals on even-number months throughout the year.  Friday, volunteers help unload the truck, arrange tables, assemble boxes, open and sort items, and box food for persons who will need special assistance the next day.  On Saturday, volunteers will greet and check in guests, then fill their boxes as they move them along the tables cafeteria-style.  Some volunteers are needed to assist persons by carrying their loaded boxes to their cars.  Contact Anita Tanner for more information.

Education for Ministry (EfM) program
TIME TO ENROLL
CALLING THE CURIOUS: Are you curious to explore the meaning of Holy Scripture, the history and traditions of Christianity, and our ever-changing understanding of God that you may more deeply live your faith? Then it is time to consider the Education for Ministry (EfM) program. EfM is a small-group study and spiritual growth program open to ALL people and begins each August. Contact Saint Paul's EfM leaders, Suzanne Pursley-Crotteau  and Fr. John Jenkins to have a full conversation about it. WE LOVE EfM!
