A Word About Faith Formation...

Our Advent Faith Formation series starts this  Sunday, December 2nd. This 4-week series will be led by our very own Revs. Sue and Molly and will focus on Presiding Bishop Curry 's call for the whole church to take up The Way of Love, a "rule of life" focused on practices for a Jesus-Centered Life. 
 
Here is the schedule for the series:
  • 12/2: The Annunciation: Saying "Yes" to the Journey (led by Sue)
  • 12/9: Mary and Elizabeth: Journeying with Family and Friends (led by Molly)
  • 12/16: The Birth of John the Baptist: Journeying with Community (led by Sue)
  • 12/23: The Birth of Jesus: Journeying with the World (led by Molly)
You are invited to participate in this journey of discovery each Sunday morning at 9:00 am, in the Norwood Room. We hope you can join us in this season of searching, waiting, and journeying together.
Coming up in December...

It Takes Two Minutes, but Will Help us for Months to Come... The St. Paul's YA survey! 
 
Please take a few moments and fill out  this brief survey (only 10 questions!) that provides more information about Youngish Adult ministry. We'd love to know how we can make your experience at St. Paul's that much better -- what kinds of events you dig, what you'd like to see more of, etc.

Thanks so much for your feedback!
Save the Date: 2019 Winter Ball 

The Winter Ball will be on the evening of Saturday, February 16th! Please keep posted for more details about tickets and ways to volunteer. Kim Ligon and Chris West are our co-chairs!   

Here's a brief message from them:

Would you like to host a dinner at your house? Do you have a piece of art or a craft you've created? Or maybe you have professional services you provide? In all of these cases, you can help the winter ball committee!

Every year, the winter ball raises money for our youth and young adult programming and pilgrimages, and one way we raise money is through a Silent Auction.  If you have an item or service you would like to donate for the winter ball, please contact the winter ball co-chairs Kimberly Ligon at ligon.kimberly@gmail.com or Chris West at cew2373@gmail.com.

Thank you for being a part of this exciting evening and for contributing to the festivities!
