Listening for Saint Paul's Future
Saint Paul's is taking action to renew our vision and develop a plan for the next five (plus) years, during which many important issues will be facing our church. Your vestry is enthusiastic about this work and we have unanimously agreed to a process that begins by listening to the people of the parish.
We have scheduled listening sessions and the early response shows strong interest. We have heard that Sunday morning, while a good time for some to meet, doesn't work for everyone. We listened (even before the sessions began) and at our vestry meeting last Sunday afternoon we added sessions and recognized the need for additional time slots. Please sign up for these sessions. Your voice is very important to this work.
I am pleased to announce that with the strong backing of the vestry Donald Horton has agree to be our manager for this project.
The vestry is committed to an open process that leads the church forward in the creative and renewing power of the Holy Spirit.

Another wave of fraudulent emails are being sent
We have once again become aware that someone has been using George Muir's name to solicit gift cards. Know that in no case will this type of transaction be requested by any member of the Saint Paul's staff. It may appear from the name on the email that it comes from one of us, but the email address attached to the name is that of a scammer.
This is the fourth such occurrence. Each time multiple parishioners have received emails. These types of emails are a scam.
NOTE that the name and email address are different from George's email account. George does not sign his emails Rev. George Muir. AND George's email account is an @saintpauls.org address not an @gmail.com address.
If you are unsure if an email was sent by any staff member, please reach out to the Parish Office directly.

In this second of a three-year cycle, our children focus on stories of individual encounters with Jesus, transformation in God's love, and the saints of the church. Our theme in this curriculum year is "Once we were no people, but now we are God's people." Every session incorporates theology and history from our Episcopal-Anglican perspective. Questions? Contact

GODLY PLAY
Location: The Godly Play Room
We take children and their relationship with God seriously and seek to provide both space to foster encounters with God and the language necessary to make meaning of those experiences. Within the Godly Play classroom, the Biblical narrative is lovingly presented to children using beautiful materials with an invitation to step into each story with awe and wonder. Children are then allowed time to respond to and reflect on their experience of the story.
