Greetings, Church Family!
Thanksgiving Pot Luck
The annual Thanksgiving Pot Luck is just around the corner, and we have much for which we are grateful. Sunday, November 24, we will celebrate Morning Prayer, and then the feasting begins! Be sure to be on the look-out for a sign-up sheet this coming Sunday. Come one, come all, and bring a friend or family member. We have some of the best cooks in Claremore at St. Paul’s so you do not want to miss this joyous occasion!
Special Offering for Medical Debt Relief
Over the next several weeks, we will be collecting special funds to contribute to medical debt relief for local families. Medical debt has become a crippling burden to many in our country, and we have the opportunity to offer some relief to those within Rogers county. If you wish to contribute to this special project, simply designate your offerings as “medical debt relief.”

Regional Advent Lessons and Carols
Advent is just around the corner, and your Northeast Clericus is busily planning a regional service to commemorate the occasion. The service will take place at St. Andrew’s Episcopal Church in Grove (555 E 3rd St., Grove, OK) on December 8 at 4:00 pm, with tea and cookies to be served at 3:30 pm.
If you wish to serve as a lector or to participate in a communal choir for the event, let Rev. Nancy know.
If you prefer to simply participate as a member of the congregation, come along and bring a friend! Everyone from across the entire Northeast region is invited to attend!
