Are you motivated by the desire to contribute to justice? Do you have a passion for an issue we can integrate into actionable solutions? Is there an “Antidote for helplessness”? You can make a difference! There is an opportunity to walk together! See your friends on the Team and hear what we are planning and how we are organized. Join us for a robust conversation. Please join us in person or on Zoom. (Clip art: BSGStudio)

The Vestry is looking to form the search committee for a new dean! The search committee will be made up of 2 Vestry members and several congregants. It will be time-intensive, but it is a very rewarding process. We would like to have the search committee formed as soon as possible because we hope to publish the position before the end of the year and have a new dean in place before the end of 2022! If possible, we hope to appoint the search committee at our next vestry meeting on September 21. The search committee will set its own schedule, and meetings can be in-person, online, or a hybrid, at the committees discretion. If you are interested, or you would like to recommend someone else in the congregation, please email the senior warden, Peter Snodgrass, at a.peter.snodgrass@gmail.com.

It’s September! Bringing thoughts of back-to-school activities. Students (and parents) are happy to be returning to a more normal school year after a long hiatus. For many of us, our interest in education is important. A good public school system is the cornerstone of our vision for the future of our community. However, what do we know about how successful our schools

are? How are they administered? Are the needs of all students provided? It turns out these are rather complicated questions with social justice implications. In various programs and discussions throughout the fall, we’ll tackle questions that both reflect

and create unfairness and exclusions, beginning this Sunday! We invite everyone to join us in this pursuit, especially those with current or past involvement in our local schools - teachers, students, parents, and taxpayers. Please add your voice! We’d like to hear from all of you! Please join us in person or on Zoom. (Clip art: Twinkl)

St. Paul’s is pleased to resume in-person worship inside our sacred space where generations of the faithful have gathered in the context of community to be formed by God’s Word and the sacraments! It will be a joy to welcome everyone back. For those unable to physically be present, the service will be live streamed – please go to SPCBuffalo.org for more information. If you'd like to register by phone, please call the Cathedral office at 855-0900 or click on the link below.

(The weekly registration link can be found on our website, SPCBuffalo.org too.)

During our Sunday 10:15 service, all children pre-K-6th grade can participate in a forty-five minute SPCKids gathering including fellowship, prayer, an interactive lesson and an activity. Parents, please bring your kids, who would like to participate, to the Walker Room at 10:00 am before the service. The kids will then join the service for communion. Most Sundays there will also be a children’s sermon after communion. There is also staff available for babies and toddlers to play in our nursery space. If you have any questions or concerns, please contact Lily Lane (lily@spcbuffalo.org) or (716) 860-1569.

With updates to the Partnership Dioceses' precautionary measures in response

to COVID-19, our kids program will require kids 2 years and older to wear a mask and

social distancing will be used as much as possible with more individualized activity for

the kids.

Members of the Clergy, Pastoral Care Team and the Vestry will be calling many of our parishioners once every two weeks to assess well being, ask for prayer requests and identify needs. A preliminary list of parishioners has been generated. However, it is not exhaustive. If you wish to receive a check-in call, please contact Dean Derrick (derrick@spcbuffalo.org or 855-0900).

Whatever life might be bringing you right now, please know you don't have to experience it alone! Members of the Pastoral Care Team will walk with you and lend a listening ear. In addition to Dean Derrick and Canon Barbara, Judy Elliott, Dee Doherty, Del Milander, Kathy Reiss, Jessy Alexander, Katharine Woodard and Marcus Maltby provide care to our community through phone calls, visits and notes. If you or someone you know is in need of pastoral care, please contact Judy Elliott at elliottking77@gmail.com or Canon Barbara at barbara@spcbuffalo.org.
