Notes From Buildings and Grounds
|
|
The final line item of replacing the roofs of Tyler Hall and the Church can now be checked off.
All the visible excitement was over months ago; however, per an energy audit, performed late in 2017, the insulation in Tyler Hall attic needed improvement.
There were several options: adding insulation--what's up there has compacted over the years, encapsulating the attic with spray foam, or adding a
thermostatically-controlled ventilation system. The latter was chosen -- and here it is!
Buildings and
Grounds will continue working to raise efficiencies and lower the electrical power bills. Address thoughts
and questions to
Leslie Lambert

Pub Theology of Augusta
Tuesday, August 13, 7 to 8:30ish PM
For AUGUST, Pub will meet at SRP Park for "Saint Paul's Night at the Ball Park"- see that announcement above for more details.
8/13 Topic: God and Gender - "Is God a dude?"
Questions we'll discuss:
1) When you hear or think "God", what visual image comes to mind? Where and when did you first experience images of God and what did those communicate about God's?
2) Think about how gender pronouns affect and shape your experience, encounter, and understanding God. What is your experience, what do you notice, and how has that changed as you mature? What works or what doesn't? Why?
3) The Episcopal Church has approved for "trial-use" in liturgy a range of alternative pronouns, expansive, and gender inclusive language--for example: "Blessed be God: most holy, glorious and undivided Trinity" instead of "Blessed be God: Father, Son and Holy Spirit". In either case, the people's response is "And blessed be God's reign, now and for ever. Amen" rather than Blessed be His kingdom, now and forever. Amen." What do changes like this mean to you?
4) What do you think about God and gender?
INFO: Pub Theology gathers members of Saint Paul's community to deepen our relationships and our faith through conversations about God and being Christian in this weird, marvelous, and unpredictable life. Pub Theology meets the 2nd Tuesday of the month at one of several downtown restaurant locations. Visitors and guests are most welcome.
For more information on Pub Theology, inquiries, or to offer suggestions for topics,
email John Jenkins
; more information on the Night at the Ballpark or tickets,
