St. Paul’s Newsletter – 21 November 2024

Greetings, St. Paul’s Family and Friends!

This Sunday (11/24): Morning Prayer & Thanksgiving Pot Luck

The annual Thanksgiving Pot Luck is this coming Sunday, and we have much for which we are grateful. First, we will celebrate Morning Prayer at 10:00 am, and then the feasting begins! 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!

***Note*** There will be no Christian Formation (aka Sunday School) this Sunday.

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” and/or place them directly into the little hospital offering house.

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!
