Dear St. Paul's,
Join us this Sunday as we say goodbye and thank you to John Shasteen, member, friend and organist as he leaves to attend another church with his finance.
John, you spent a lifetime practicing and rehearsing and St Paul's was the beneficiary of your God given gift.
"As each has received a gift, use it to serve one another,
as good stewards of God’s varied grace." - 1 Peter 4:10
May God continue to bless you in all your do.
Yours in Christ - Your St. Paul's Family.
Coffee Hour will be charcuterie boards anyone wishing to contribute.
(meats, cheese, fruits, nuts, crackers, and dips)

Sunday Worship
COLLECT OF THE DAY
Almighty God, whose blessed Son was led by the Spirit to be tempted by Satan: Come quickly to help us who are assaulted by many temptations; and, as you know the weaknesses of each of us, let each one find you mighty to save; through Jesus Christ your Son our Lord, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and for ever. Amen.

Morsel for Meditation
Do not the ‘work of God negligently’ and idly: let not thy heart be upon the world when thy hand is lift up in prayer; and be sure to prefer an action of religion, in its place and proper season, before all worldly pleasure, letting secular things, that may be dispensed with in themselves, in these circumstances wait upon the other; not like the patriarch, who ran from the alter in St. Sophia to his stable, in all his pontificals, and in the midst of his office, to see a colt newly fallen from his beloved and much-valued mare Phorbante. More prudent and severe was that of Sir Thomas More, who, being sent for by the king when he was at his prayers in public, returned answer, he would attend him when he had first performed his service to the King of kings. And it did honour to Rusticus, that, when letters from Caesar were given to him, he refused to open them till the philosopher had done his lecture. In honouring God and doing his work, put forth all thy strength; for of that time only thou mayest be most confident that it is gained, which is prudently and zealously spent in God’s service.
Jeremy Taylor, Holy Living
