St. Paul’s Newsletter – 20 June 2024

Who is Jesus to you?

Last week (6/16), we heard about some of the ways in which everything is topsy-turvy in the Kin-dom of God – frequently using the least expected individuals to do the least expected things.

Please join us for worship this Sunday (6/16) at 9:30 a.m., when we join the disciples of Jesus as they ask in amazement, “Who is this that even the wind and the waves obey him?” 

Christian Formation

***Note: We will NOT have Sunday School this month.***

Later this summer, our focus in Christian formation will be on Spiritual Gifts. We’ll find out what they are, how you can discover which of these gifts you have, and how you can put them to practical use. Stay tuned for more information about this exciting curriculum. 

Visits with the Vicar

The “Visits with the Vicar” sign-up sheet has now been posted on the church bulletin board. If you are unable get to the church, feel free to contact me via email to set up a visit. I will gladly come to you at a location of your choosing – whether at a restaurant (my treat) or in your home. This is not a formal affair; we’ll keep it simple (i.e. coffee, tea, or my drink of choice: water). My goal is to visit with everyone by the end of the summer season!

Vicar Plans Vacation

Sunday, July 7, the vicar will be on vacation; but we will still have worship at 9:30 a.m. by observing the Daily Office of Morning Prayer. Tom, Ron, Shelby, and Kaitlyn will lead this service; so, don’t miss the opportunity to participate in one of our oldest and most beloved traditions.
