Serve with our next Manna Pantry team, Saturday, March 25, 8:15-11:30 AM in Tyler Hall. (Please note the change of week.) With your help we will unload the groceries from Golden Harvest, pack food boxes, reload the truck, and deliver all food boxes on Saturday. RSVP for the Manna Pantry team below. For more information contact Melissa Friedman.

Diversify your green space with a clipping from the Saint Paul’s Garden! The Creation Care Committee and the Gardening Group are making greenery available for parishioners to take home and plant in their gardens or yards. All clippings will be pre-planted in peat pots, so it’s easy to replant them in the ground. See us following the 11 AM service on the portico! Limit one per family, while supplies last. Here's' a listing of this week's perennial flowers.

Clippings will be available each Sunday through April 16 (on Easter, available after the Celtic service) in honor of Earth Day. Plant clippings are beneficial to the environment as they reduce overcrowding around the parent plant; they also produce plants identical in quality to the parent.

For more information, contact Jennifer McKee.

If you would like to contribute toward the cost of Easter music, or give an Easter lily, please return the form found in your bulletin to the Parish Office. Requests may also be made on the Saint Paul’s website or by e-mail to mailbox@saintpauls.org no later than Sunday, March 26.

We continue our formation series this Sunday: Preparing for Holy Week Away from Home. We'll explore the meaning of Holy Week and how we can observe the central week of the Christian year from wherever we are. Join us for this series to make ready for the Paschal Feast.

Busy morning? Breakfast with your friends at Saint Paul's instead! We've added McDonald's biscuits to our Continental Breakfast while we eagerly await the NEW Tyler Hall kitchen this winter. Donations welcomed.

The Canterbury and St. Nicholas Choirs will begin rehearsals at 9:25 AM Sunday morning as scheduled. For more information about our choir programs, please contact Keith Shafer.

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.

The Colaborate Curriculum is designed to help youth take an honest look at the holy mystery and the complexity of Scripture to move them onto a path of growth and discovery. Using infographics, this program will include studies of both New Testament and Old Testament lessons to start a conversation about God and what it means to follow Jesus.

For more information, contact Laurie Montgomery.

Dish and serve ice cream and cookies at our quarterly Veteran’s Social March 26, 2:30-3:30 PM. We’ll meet at the GA War Veterans’ Nursing Home located at 1101 15th Street to share a dessert and then spend much-appreciated time visiting. All ages are welcome to participate. For more information contact Gene Helmich.

EYC (Episcopal Youth Community, grades 6-12) will meet at Saint Paul's this Sunday for food, formation, and fun. Friends always welcome. For more information, email Kim Butler or call her at 706.833.8541.

The Annual Easter Egg Hunt on the Lawn will begin at 10:15 AM Easter Sunday. (Note the change of time.) Please help us prepare for this joyful event by bringing 12 stuffed eggs for each child. We also need several people to help hide eggs Easter morning. 12 volunteers will make this job quick and easy. Contact Stacy Nuessle and Laura Robertson who are organizing this year’s hunt.

The Daughters of the King are coordinating a Bra Drive through April. Bras and the second-hand clothing market provide a safe and powerful economic opportunity for women in the developing countries that “Free the Girls” serve. New and gently worn bras are also shared with local women's shelters i-Care and Safehomes. Collection boxes decorated white/aqua are located in Tyler Hall and the Narthex. For more information, contact Janet Olson.

Our online formation classes continue in Lent with the 1Book1Diocese selection Beginning to Pray by Anthony Bloom. Sign up using the link below.

Each year the Diocese of Georgia chooses a book for a Lenten reading, creating a shared conversation and a shared experience. In choosing this book, Bishop Logue wrote, "This simple and powerful book gets at the vital importance of encountering God in prayer."

Classes begin Tuesday, February 28, 7:30 PM on Zoom. Register for the class using the link below. Group leaders will send emails to all participants with Zoom log-in details and schedules. Contact Fr. Eric Biddy 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. We invite you to join this small group as your schedule allows.

You may bring your own lunch or share in the meal provided. Donations accepted.

Questions? Contact Kitty Gordon.

Thursdays begin in the Chapel with a reading or other offering to enhance this space before the “Sit” begins. After the 20-minute Sit, an open discussion follows until 7:00 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.

Next Sunday begins Holy Week. If you find yourself unable to get to Saint Paul’s this Holy Week, for whatever reason, go to the nearest Episcopal Church! Or if there isn’t one, go to another church that will let you receive communion. But, at times there are logistical or psychological reasons why we can’t make it to an assembly—this packet is meant for those circumstances. Please take these resources with great 

freedom. Adapt them, omit parts, add parts. It might be helpful to have a Book of Common Prayer (the whole text is available online here) and a Bible (also available online) on hand.

On Good Friday, offerings are invited from across The Episcopal Church to support for the ministries of the three dioceses of the Province of Jerusalem and the Middle East. Pastoral care, education and health care continue to be primary ministries through which the reconciling spirit of the Christian faith serves all in need. The generous donations of Episcopalians help the Christian presence in the Land of the Holy One to be a vital and effective force for peace and understanding among all of God’s children. To make a donation, please make your check payable to Saint Paul’s Church and write “Good Friday Offering” on the memo line.  

We will celebrate the Sacrament of Baptism at the Great Vigil, April 8. All who wish to be baptized are invited to contact Fr. Eric.

Our Colonial Charter and Bylaws call for an Annual Parish Meeting on Easter Monday. You are invited to our Annual Parish Meeting in the 273rd year of Saint Paul's Church, Monday, April 10, 12 noon on the front steps of the church. The Churchwardens, Members of the Vestry, and Officers of the Parish will be installed.

Our online adult formation book studies continue in Easter with a study of Joan Chittister’s The Rule of Benedict: A Spirituality for the 21st Century. Though the Rule is fifteen centuries old, Chittister shows that Benedict can offer wisdom for contemporary concerns such as contemplation, humility, stewardship, equality, and conversion. Join us Tuesday evenings on Zoom at 7:30 PM beginning, April 18. Books available next week in the Narthex. Online signup beginning next week to receive the class schedule and notes.

Join Saint Paul’s Creation Care Committee as we help you eco-align your yard and garden with tips from area gardening clubs, a propagation booth, butterfly and bird talks, fun demonstrations, local vendors, kid's activities, and tours of the Saint Paul’s Garden from our very own Keith Shafer! Additional activities are yet to be revealed. Join us on April 22, beginning at 2 PM, in the 7th Street parking lot.

For more information, or to be part of the team, contact Jennifer McKee.
