Beginning Sunday, March 1, 9:30 AM in the Chapel and Wednesday, March 4, 12:00 noon in Tyler Hall, we will explore Marcus Borg's look into why Christian words have lost their power and how they can be restored.   In his introduction Borg states "Christian language has become a stumbling block in our time.  Much of its basic vocabulary is seriously misunderstood by Christians and non-Christians alike.  Big words like salvation, saved, sacrifice, redeemer, redemption, righteousness, repentance, mercy, sin, forgiveness, born again, second coming, God, Jesus,  and Bible... have acquired meanings that are serious distortions of their biblical and traditional meanings."

Books will be available ($10 donation and also available on audio-book) beginning this Sunday and in the parish office. Questions, contact Fr. Muir.

Our memorable receptions are made possible by a combination of delicious foods and motivated individuals wanting to extend hospitality to all those who walk through our church doors!  The Parish Life & Hospitality Committee invites you to make or purchase a finger food or beverage for the Spring Evensong reception immediately following the Evensong service at 5:30 PM, Sunday, March 1.   You may drop off your cold or room temp food items (including items that need to be reheated - please include directions) in the River Room kitchen between morning services or after the 11  AM service on March 1st. Hot food should be delivered warm to the River Room kitchen before the Evensong service. We ask that you deliver your items on disposable serving ware, and we will plate them for the reception. Please include your name on any items you need returned.  If you prefer to make a monetary donation, please make your check payable to Saint Paul's Church and annotate it for the "Evensong Reception."  Questions, contact Bill Ford. 

For more information contact Bill Ford.   As always, we need teams to help set up, serve, and clean up.  Please sign up below.  

Evensong will be sung by the Saint Paul's Choir next Sunday, March 1, 5:30  PM in place of the usual Celtic Service.  Evensong, a service of sung evening prayer, finds its roots in the Medieval English church and has become one of the most beloved liturgies of the Episcopal Church.  At Saint Paul's, the choir sings this beautiful service twice a year.  It is celebrated with the singing of glorious canticles, psalms, songs of praise, and petitions for renewal by the Holy Spirit. A reception in the River Room follows the event. The Nursery will be available beginning at 5 PM.
