Adult Forum: Let the Bible Surprise You
Dorothy Sayers lamented that for many Christians, “Bible writers” aren’t “real writers.” She was right: when we open the Bible we often go into a kind of paralysis. We don’t notice ¬– or enjoy –any of the things that would have interested us if we’d considered the writing to be “real.” This talk – an antidote to paralysis ¬– provides some examples of the interesting and surprising things we can discover when we read the Bible as real literature. Our guest speaker, Stephen Cox, will be using the King James translation of the Bible, but people who have other translations and want to consult them will have no trouble following along.

Every Baptized Christian is Called to Ministry... What's Yours?
Sundays in August, After 10:30 am Service, Queen’s Courtyard
Education For Ministry (EfM) will be registering new participants in the Courtyard on Sundays in August for the 2022-2023 seminars beginning in September. EfM is a program of the School of Theology at the University of the South (Sewanee) that provides the foundational education to assist you in discerning and carrying out your ministry. Like the mustard seed (Luke 13:18-19), we need fertile soil to grow. EfM is that fertile soil and we are the mustard seeds. Learning scriptures, church history, and theology is the light shining on the soil, warming it so the seed will sprout. If you are interested in learning more about this life affirming group study program for laity stop by our table during August and check us out or send your questions to efm.stpauls@outlook.com.

Another Way: Restorative Justice
From our Sacred Ground in Action ministry
Often we get so used to what we know that we have difficulty imagining what can be. This article is a valuable reminder to use our discernment and imagination as we strive to follow Jesus on the healing path leading to beloved community.
"A wide range of justice-focused nonprofits, legal advocates, academics, and activists are developing and implementing concepts that, together, form a radically different vision of what crime and punishment could look like in the United States.” For more information go to yesmagazine.com
Prayer:
Forgiving God, you call us to be a people of reconciliation and restoration, serving a world in need. For the sake of your son, who died to forgive all our sins, engage us in supporting efforts towards a more compassionate criminal justice system, moving beyond ourselves in order to seek and serve you and one another. Amen.

Looking for some Good News? Join us for the “Opening New Doors” Evangelism Workshop
Saturday, August 13, 9 am – 12 pm, Conference Room 201
Did you know that the heart and motivation of Episcopal evangelism is love of God, church and others? Caring about those who don't know faith focuses on relationships. Evangelism has no theological bounds. It isn’t about talking people into beliefs or scaring them with horror stories of the hell. At its core evangelism is people sharing with others their personal understanding that life is better, richer, truer if one has faith in Christ and lives in a faith community.
The" Opening New Doors” Evangelism Workshop will be sharing what churches are beginning to discover as they go out and share their faith beyond church walls. In preparation for the Good News Festival in December, featuring the Episcopal Church’s Presiding Bishop and Rev. William Barber, St. Paul’s Evangelism ministry will launch our “Meet the Neighbors” E-Team neighborhood walk program. We will share all the opportunities for the Fall and beyond to meet our neighbors, build relationships, host events and share the Good News with our community outside our four walls.
If you are interested in becoming a member of our E-Teams, or if you enjoy meeting new people, and would like to invite our neighbors to learn about the various ministries and events at St. Paul’s Episcopal Cathedral, or if you just want to learn what Episcopal Evangelism is all about please register with Susan Jester at jesters@stpaulcathedral.org by Aug 12. The Workshop will be facilitated by Susan Jester and Jen Jow, both diocesan Licensed Lay Ministers of Evangelism. Leave a message (619) 298-7261 (ext. 212)
