Hello, friends of St. Paul’s! Blessings and peace to you all.
“Be doers of the word, and not merely hearers.” ~ James 1:22
Last week (8/25), we heard some of the results of abiding in Christ, including the fact that choosing to abide in Christ nurtures spiritual fruitfulness. This Sunday (9/01), join us at 9:30 am as we celebrate Holy Eucharist and learn about what it means to be a doer of the word – something directly related to being spiritually fruitful.
Christian Formation
Last Sunday (8/25), we began to discover some clues that might help us to identify our spiritual gifts by taking note of the characteristics we admire in others. This week (9/01) at 8:30 am, our journey to discover our spiritual gifts continues. During this course of study, we’ll find out what the gifts are, how you can discover which of these gifts you have, and how you can put them to practical use. You are invited to join us on this exciting journey.
Confirmations
We are excited to announce that Cindy Peters, Danny Haden, and Ron Parker will be confirmed on Sunday, September 22 @ 11:00 am. The bishop will be at Trinity Tulsa on that day, and Father Lee and Mother Cheryl have graciously agreed to have us all join them during their 11:00 service. Come celebrate with us on this joyous occasion (501 S. Cincinnati Ave., downtown Tulsa – parking lot & entrance on south side of church)! Ride sharing is encouraged. ***No classes or services will be provided at St. Paul’s on this day.***
