Greetings and salutations, everyone!
Last Sunday (9/13), we continued our monthly theme: “Owe no one anything, except to love one another.” (Rom. 8:13) As such, we looked again at forgiveness as an expression of Christ-like love, and we looked specifically at what forgiveness is and what it is not.
This Sunday (9/20), the seventeenth Sunday after Pentecost, we will look at more ways to love one another. Please join us at 10 am for Holy Eucharist, followed by coffee hour.
Movie Night
Tomorrow, Friday, September 18, at 6:00pm, you are invited to join us in the parish hall for another entertaining night of FREE food and film. We will be watching a fun flick about a group of drag queens who travel across country together to participate in a national drag queen contest. For dinner, it will be the best of movie concession stand foods: hot dogs, nachos, popcorn, candy, and more. Hope to see you there!
Tuesdays at RSU
Next Tuesday, September 22, at 7pm, we will continue our discussion of the book Forging a Sacred Weapon by Kathy Baldock. If you missed the first week’s session, you can catch up by watching this video of an interview with the author: www.youtube.com/watch?v=3R1a0CbPSWI&t=3002s
You may join in person on campus in Stratton Taylor library, room 207, or via Zoom, please email admin@stpaulsclaremore.org for a link.
