Paul and Mary Zahl Weekend

Weekend with Paul and Mary Zahl
 We are excited to welcome the Very Rev. Dr. Paul Zahl and his wife Mary to Christ Church the first weekend in February. On Saturday, February 1 there will be a morning teaching session at 9:30 in the parish hall (Paul and Mary will both speak) and a Saturday evening gathering at 6:00 at the rectory-and on Sunday, February 2 Paul will preach at the 8:00, 10:00 and 12:00 services, and Mary will teach adult Sunday School after the 10:00 service. Paul is a retired Episcopal minister who last served as Rector of All Saints, Chevy Chase, MD, just outside of Washington, D.C.. Paul received his A.B. from Harvard, his M.Phil. from the University of Nottingham (U.K.), and his doctorate in theology from the University of Tuebingen in Germany. He has served parishes in Silver Spring, MD; New York City; Westchester County (NY); Charleston, S.C.; and was Dean of Cathedral Church of the Advent in Birmingham, AL. He was also Dean/President of Trinity Episcopal School for Ministry in Ambridge, PA. He is the author of ten books, his favorite of which is "Grace in Practice" (Eerdmans, 2007). Mary Cappleman Zahl is a professional garden designer who has done extensive work mostly in the Southeast. They have been married 46 years and have three grown sons, all of whom are in full-time Christian ministry; and seven grand-children. Paul and Mary will be teaching and preaching on grace in personal relationships and the grace of listening in personal relationships. This is a wonderful opportunity and we hope you will join us!

For years, the Stitchers of Love have been creating and donating countless prayer shawls, lap blankets, scarves, baby hats and blankets, and other items. We would like to invite our Christ Church family to visit the Stitchers' shelf in the parish hall and to take home any of the tagged items as a comfort gift for yourself or to take to someone else. Each has been made with love and prayers, and each has been blessed at the Christ Church altar. If you have any questions or would like help in choosing, see Frances Guice, Pepi Nelson, Patricia Marks, or any of the Stitchers. Stitchers of Love meets the first and third Sunday of each month from 4:00 - 6:00 p.m. in the Parish Hall. All are welcome to come stitch, or learn to stitch. We have many teachers.
