Elaine & Ellen will join our St. Paul's office team on May 1!

Elaine Wotton: Originally from Manchester, England, Elaine came to Florida in 1989 to work for a genealogical research company where she worked for 20 years. Since 2010, Elaine has worked part-time in sales administration for a technology company in Boca Raton. Elaine and her husband Phil have been members of St. Paul’s for 25 years.

Ellen Kentner: Ellen and her husband Bobby McKeehan became members of St. Paul’s in 2007 and were married here in 2010. One of their first adventures as a married couple was going on a mission trip to Bondeau, Haiti in May of 2010. Ellen was the publicity chairperson for the Icons in Transformation exhibition, co-facilitated St. Paul’s first Sacred Ground listening circle, and served on the vestry. For the last six months, Ellen has enjoyed her role as St. Paul’s social media consultant. Both Ellen and Bobby find great joy in supporting the new Family Prayer & Praise service. Ellen will be joining our staff as Communications Coordinator on May 1.

Ryan Kane: The church family of St. Paul’s is grateful for the exceptional work of Ryan Kane and we wish him well as he pursues his passion for culinary arts full time. Ryan’s last day in the office will be Tuesday, April 30.

A Journey through Revelation

Location: Guild Room

The sad news is that our Music at St. Paul’s concert series will come to an end on Sunday, May 5^th with the Delray String Quartet’s concert “The Bohemian & the Russian,” music of Antonin Dvorak and Dimitri Shostakovich. This will be the final concert in a series that has had 35 remarkable seasons! The combination of increasing costs and decreasing attendance has made Music at St. Paul’s no longer sustainable.

Reverend Paul Kane, Rector

Location: the Courtyard and Bush Hall

Join us for a delicious strata brunch sponsored by the Brotherhood of St. Andrew! Please sign-up in the courtyard.

On May 11 and 12, we will collect new and gently used clothing and nonperishable food items for veterans and their families served through the VA Hospital System. In particular, they are accepting both men's and women's clothing appropriate for job interviews. The weekend before, there will be a display in the courtyard of appropriate items to donate. Please stop by to learn more about the local needs of our veterans!

You are invited to become a St. Paul's Social Media "Evangelist", it's an easy and effective way to share the Good News about what's happening in our community! The first step is to "like" St. Paul's Facebook page and/or "follow" St. Paul's on Instagram. (If this sounds like Greek to you, ask Ellen or Ryan or a teenager to show you how to do this.) Then, when you see a post that you like, hit the "like" button and SHARE the post on your own Facebook page or Instagram account.  By sharing posts, many disparate groups of new friends will see what's offered at St. Paul's and you'll help grow the church~one post at a time!

We are reading Black Widow by Leslie Gray Streeter, a local author. Looking at widowhood through the prism of race, mixed marriage, and aging, Black Widow redefines the stages of grief, from coffin shopping to day-drinking, breaking up and making up with God, and facing the fact that life goes on even after the death of the person you were supposed to live it with. All are invited to worship together at the 5pm Quiet Eucharist following the discussion.

Location: Duncan Center (15820 S Military Trl, Delray Beach, FL 33484).

We are reading Black Widow by Leslie Gray Streeter, a local author. Looking at widowhood through the prism of race, mixed marriage, and aging, Black Widow redefines the stages of grief, from coffin shopping to day-drinking, breaking up and making up with God, and facing the fact that life goes on even after the death of the person you were supposed to live it with. While she stumbles toward an uncertain future as a single mother raising a baby with her own widowed mother, Leslie looks back on her love story with her husband, recounting their journey through racism, religious differences, and persistent confusion about what kugel is. Will she find the strength to finish the most important thing that they started? All are invited to worship together at the 5pm Quiet Eucharist following the discussion.

In the U.S. alone, tugboats produce an estimated 6 million tons of carbon pollution per year, the equivalent of more than a million cars on the road. That’s why it’s such good news that the Port of San Diego’s first fully-electric tugboat just arrived.

The eWolf isn’t the world’s first all-electric tugboat, though! Last October, the HaiSea Wamis began operating in the Vancouver Harbour. And almost two years ago, in June 2022, the Ports of Auckland in New Zealand celebrated the arrival of its first all-electric tugboat, lovingly christened Sparky after a public vote.

St. Paul's daily virtual Morning Prayer at 8:00 a.m., and Compline at 8:00 p.m. is held Monday through Friday (through Facebook Live streams).
