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.  

Your generous non-pledged offerings (cash and designated checks) on the first Sunday each month support our clergy's Discretionary Account. Frs. Muir and Jenkins use these funds to meet urgent needs within our community, to further the ministries of the church when other funds are not available, and to support community programs and institutions that serve those in need.

Beginning Sunday, March 1, 9:30 AM in the Chapel, 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."

There will be two opportunities weekly for groups to meet to discuss this book. Please feel free to drop into either day of the week based on your schedule. 

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