We are pleased to announce that the Saint Paul’s nursery is open for children 6 months to 4 years of age. The nursery will be available on Sunday mornings beginning at 9:30 a.m. to allow parents to attend formation. If you have any questions about the nursey, please contact the parish office. Connie, Jenna, and Katherine are all ready to welcome you Sunday mornings.

Join us as we continue our fall formation series on 1 Corinthians. Paul’s first letter to the Corinthians shows Paul trying to pastor a young, gifted, divided church from afar. Drawing on some of the leading commentators on Paul, we’ll read together to see how he addressed problems and promise in Corinth, and how this might apply to us today. If you’re both talented and imperfect, or belong to a community that is talented and imperfect, this bible study is for you.

ALL children inherently know God, but it is up to us to give them the language of the Christian faith so they can grow to make meaning of our faith in their own lives. Godly Play is a profound method rooted in Montessori principles that forms child spirituality by attending to their natural gifts for wonder and discovery. We cannot wait to welcome your children each Sunday!

Contact Kim Butler for more information.

Middle School Formation returns to "Look at the Gospels" and engage with the stories. Week after week, the children and their leaders gather together, explore the Scriptures, enjoy one another's company, pray, and discover God's presence in their midst.

Contact Susie Culbreth for more information.

A mid-week Eucharist in the Chapel begins at 11:30 AM. Lunch in the Berlin Room follows at 12 noon with a weekly Bible study (more information below.) Join us as your schedule allows: Come for Eucharist and lunch, lunch and Bible study, or stay for all three. (So that we may honor mid-day schedules, lunch is scheduled for 15 minutes and will continue through the Bible study conversations.)

This small group format begins with lunch. As we continue sharing a meal, three biblical lessons are read aloud by members of the group, followed by a reflection from Brian McLaren’s We Make the Road by Walking. We conclude our time together engaging with the reflection. Much of the work of the Holy Spirit in formation is in forming relationship. As the title suggests we make the road by walking together. We invite you to join this small group as your schedule allows.

You may bring your own lunch or share in the meal provided. This week’s menu: Asian slaw with chicken; mandarin oranges; gingerbread with lemon sauce, tea, and water. A lunch RSVP is required by midnight Tuesday: online or by email to Kitty Gordon, and donations are requested to cover the cost of lunch each week.

Questions? Contact Kitty Gordon.

Caregivers’ support group will meet Thursday, September 22, 1:30 PM in the chapel. This group provides support for people caring for people they love (our first thought is ailing spouses, aging parents, children who need extra attention, and other relations of mutuality in which one-way care has grown), but anyone who is a caregiver for another is welcome. Contact Fr. Eric for more information.

This group begins in the Chapel with a reading or other offering to enhance the space before the “Sit” begins. After the 20-minute Sit, an open discussion follows until 8:00 PM. This is an open group with no limit on the number of participants. Please email Suzanne Pursley-Crotteau or contact by phone at (706) 910-9331 for further information and/or to enroll in the sit.

Sign up to be part of it all online using the blue link below.
