Weekly Monday Morning Peace Prayer
Peace reaches deep into our psyche to heal and renew. It radiates from the deepest place within us. While it seems that all creation and institutional bodies are in chaos, Jesus still calls us to the Peace of Christ (John 20.21). It is that Peace within us that radiates outward.
“Where two or more are gathered, there I am in your midst”
(Matt 18:19-20).
If you have the inclination and 20 minutes, please join us in prayer Pray with us for peace in the world and within ourselves.
Monday mornings at 9am on this Zoom link
Meeting ID: 844 1669 8343
Passcode: 557026
May Mary, Mother of the World, who abhors all violence, bless us.
Rev. Jane

Honoring the Day of the Dead -
Workshop and Celebration!
Saturday, Nov. 4, 6:30 PM
In this Thin Time of the year, when we remember our loved ones who have passed away, St. Paul’s is offering a Day of the Dead workshop and celebration on Saturday, Nov. 4th, from 7-9 PM for all the 301 Faith Partners. This will be an opportunity for all of us to honor our beloved ancestors for All Saints Day!
Choose your own adventure: There will be multiple stations, and you are welcome to participate in whatever ways you choose. There will be opportunities to decorate sugar cookies for Days of the Dead, play a game with our Death Deck cards, work on your advance directive documents, engage in conversations about your experiences with death and dying, spend time in contemplation using Visio divina (sacred looking), and remember your ancestors, both of the blood and of the heart.
We invite you to bring images and objects (even favorite foods) of beloved forbears of the soul and/or body to include in the altar we will be creating. Wine, a festive non-alcoholic drink, cheese, cookies, and other goodies will be on offer.

301 Faith Partners Prayer Group
On the last Monday of each month at 10:30 am, the 301 Faith Partners Prayer Group meets to pray for the 301 Faith Partners! The group opens by calling on the Holy Spirit to be present. They then take one of the Core Values of the 301 Faith Partners and reflect on it. Following this, they engage in Lectio Divina and then share their reflections. They pray for the clergy of Mary of Magdala, St. Paul’s, and Trinity, and the leadership bodies of all three congregations. And they close with a Litany of God’s Mission for the 301 Faith Partners, which was first prayed at the Bishops’ Blessing on May 31, 2023.
Contact Pat with any questions.

Chapter 2 Book Group
Chapter 2 Trinity Readers will be meeting on Thursday, November 30th at 6pm in Room 2. We will be discussing the book Apeirogon by Colum McCann. The book is centered on the true story of the friendship between Rami Elhanan, an Israeli, and Bassam Aramin, a Palestinian, who have both lost their daughters to violence. The two men come together, across the animosity and violence of their respective home nations, over a shared desire to spread a message of education, understanding, and the end of Israel’s occupation of Palestine.
A very timely subject matter- it should be an very interesting discussion. Everyone is welcome. Come once or every month. Bring a friend.
Email Adrianne Jurgenson with any questions.
