Rector's Update - July 3rd
|

Greetings to the saints of St. Paul’s,
We’ve enjoyed having the church open for the 10:30 service (with limited seating). It seemed that we were progressing toward more normal way of living, and steadily increasing our attendance. Unfortunately, we also see the rise of COVID-19 cases in Texas and Hunt County. The Bishop has directed all the churches in the Diocese to take a step back. We’re returning to
online services only
, effective immediately. I realize this is disappointing, and at the same time it’s the safest alternative.
Remote Eucharist will continue unabated. We have a couple parishioners who are helping me to distribute the Eucharist to parishioners’ homes on Wednesdays and Thursdays. Please let me know if you’d like to receive the Holy Sacrament remotely. The best way to contact me is via email:
fathernickfunk@gmail.com
.
Here’s St. Paul’s news for the week:
- Our Sunday services are available live at 10:25 am (https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCCmlrRFxbQF7CSAnFS8H9FA) and Facebook (https://facebook.com/stpaulsepiscopalgreenville). Our recorded Sunday service is broadcast on the GEUS community Channel (Channel 34) on Wednesdays at 8 am and 6 pm. Previously recorded services may be accessed anytime on our Facebook and YouTube pages. The recorded sermons may be found on our website as MP3s.
- The Parish office remains closed, but is checking voicemails and emails regularly.
- The St. Paul’s Zoom Meeting may be found at https://zoom.us/j/9037772020. Our Meeting ID is: 903 777 2020. To call in, use one tap mobile: +13462487799,,9037772020# or to dial: +1 346 248 7799.
- We are offering Noonday Prayer on Wednesdays at noon via a Zoom meeting, and upload it live if Zoom and Facebook work together (about 75% success rate).
- Friday morning Bible Study continues at 8:00 via Zoom. We’re studying 1 Corinthians.

Never, “for the sake of peace and quiet,” deny your own experience or convictions. The only kind of dignity which is genuine is that which is not diminished by the indifference of others. Pray that your loneliness may spur you into finding something to live for, great enough to die for. Never measure the height of a mountain until you have reached the top. Then you will see how low it was.
Dag Hammarskjöld,
Markings
We are not to simply bandage the wounds of victims beneath the wheels of injustice, we are to drive a spoke into the wheel itself.

They also have a intercessory prayer box on the table in the Narthex to deposit prayer requests. Prayer request cards may be found in the pews and beside the box in the Narthex. Daughters pray daily. All prayers are confidential. Each person is prayed for one month. If you wish for continued prayers, please complete another request card or contact a Daughter.
