This Sunday Please Welcome at 8 & 11 AM

Saint Paul’s is pleased to welcome, for this Sunday, the Reverend Deacon Shayna Cranford as guest deacon and preacher. The Reverend Cranford is a transitional deacon on her way to being ordained a priest to serve Trinity in Cochran. Her one Sunday visit with Saint Paul’s is both a gift to us and a part of her ongoing formation. Come meet her at 8:00 and 11:00!

Throughout the summer, we’re inviting some of the best organizations at work in our neighborhood to join us in conversation about their work, the needs and resources they see, and how we might deepen our relationship with them. These conversations will add new voices to our discernment, and it is our hope they will better equip us to proclaim the hope of God’s love to our neighbors.

Mark your calendars for these important conversations:

July 2: Child Enrichment

July 9: Compass for Hope

July 16: Hornsby Elementary

July 23: Christ Community Health

July 30: DCCM, Downtown Cooperative Church Ministry

It’s a Beach Party in the River Room! Join us for a summer celebration of beach food, drinks, and music. Tickets on sale this Sunday before and after the 11:00 AM service.

The annual fundraiser for Outreach supports 80% of the annual Outreach budget. Proceeds to benefit Saint Paul’s Outreach Programs, including our Manna Pantry, Master’s Table Soup Kitchen, Veteran’s, Ironman, and Hornsby ministries, as well as gifts to support Compass for Hope, Episcopal Relief and Development, DCCM Food bank, and Our Little Roses. Please generously support this event through sponsorship (contact Rex Teeslink) purchasing tickets online or through any outreach Committee member, and inviting your friends to come.

Celtic Evening Prayer and Communion is a candle-lit service that emphasizes the contemplative side of worship, features some of Augusta’s best Celtic musicians, and offers prayers for healing for those attending, for others, and for the world. Come as you are and enter into a place of rest, prayer, and reflection.

Celeste Ray will be our guest musician this week.

Included in this year’s Independence Day service will be patriotic music performed by guest musicians. You are invited to help make this possible by making donations in memory of a loved one, a veteran, an active-duty member of the military, or in thanksgiving for someone or something about America that you would like to celebrate or recognize. Please be in touch with Director of Music Keith Shafer or call him, (706) 724-2485 ext. 215. The deadline is Tuesday, June 27th.

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.

Following the 11 AM service on July 2, we will gather in the River Room for a BBQ Parish Dinner. Bring your favorite BBQ; or for those whose specialty falls outside the smoker or grill, bring your favorite side dish or dessert to share. As always, we need a team to help us set up & clean up. Please sign up to let us know if you're bringing BBQ, a side, and/or will be here as part of our hospitality team using the link below, so that we can be the best hosts.

This is a fellowship event for the full parish, and we do NOT want cost to be a reason for anyone to miss this event. Please contact Fr. Eric. We will have sponsored tickets available. Likewise, if you would like to sponsor tickets to be used to invite someone new to Saint Paul's or for those who may need assistance to attend, please contact Elisabeth Price.

Our official prayer list is an important part of our community of prayer, organizing our prayers for our beloveds. In order for our prayer list to be effective, we must all stay connected to the list, so we ask that you contact the parish office to update us on the status of your prayer request with a quick email monthly.

Twice a year the parish will begin a new prayer list: July 1 and January 1. Of course, it is fine for a name to remain on our list for an extended period of time; we ask that you simply email the parish office to let us know you’d like a name (new or continuing) to be added to our new list.

Donate summer music in memory or in thanksgiving. The choirs began this year’s vacation on May 28th. On the summer Sundays when the choirs are on vacation, special music is provided by guest instrumentalists or singers. If you’d like to donate the music on these Sundays, please contact Keith Shafer, Director of Music, for further information and cost.
