At St Paul's Church: we are family!
We are here for one another - offering encouragement, inspiration, support, always!
ONLINE SUNDAY SCHOOL each week, & YOUTH CLASSES 2x/month

We're here for you - online!

Look for a special Easter email, arriving on April 3. Soon enough, Easter Day will come!

Right now, we are in the midst of the three days called the Triduum.

Click on this email and scroll down to find family activities chosen especially for these three dark days.

Here's what we shared in March:

Send me an email if you'd like links for earlier classes - we have lots!

Is there something special you'd like me to write about? Let me know!

LMK if you'd like to arrange a contactless pickup or delivery of Bibles, hymnals, and all kinds of craft supplies, too.

What do you need? We'll do our best to supply it!
Hello, friends - welcome to April, 2021! How are you?

What can St Paul's do for you and yours? What can we do to share God's love in the world, together? Write to me anytime.

Offering my prayers for your well-being, hope, peace, and joy - and all the blessings leading to & following Easter!

With love - Linda
Our St Paul's Anti-Racism Awareness book club (SPARA) is open to everyone.

We're reading, sharing our thoughts & moving into action.

We have finished This Book is Anti-Racist, by Tiffany Jewell, and Just Mercy, by Brian Stevenson. What's next?

Share your thoughts on possibly using this young adult book as our next SPARA read: Superman Smashes the Klan, a DC graphic novel based on the 1940's Superman radio serial: "Clan of the Fiery Cross". (Click here for an interview with the author.)

Our next meeting will be in mid-April!
You're invited to watch St Paul's church services at any time that works for you!

Click on our YouTube channel to select the service or event you're interested in "attending" - welcome!

Kudos to our youth and young adults for their participation in virtual worship! Add your talents - email Fr Jarred or Linda!
Some things we're looking forward to:

The return of "Mass in the Grass" - outdoor worship, in our garden at the labyrinth - hopefully coming soon!

Watch our weekly newsletter for updates.

Confirmation for the five awesome youth who committed time (and their hearts and minds!) a year ago. We're still on hold as final preparations for the confirmands (including a retreat), the service, and our parish celebration will need to be virtual. Are you interested in learning more about confirmation? Connect with Fr Jarred here.

Baptisms - what a joy!
Please contact Fr Jarred if this happy commitment is in anyone's future.
