Greetings, One and All, and happy Spring!
Last Sunday (3/16), the second Sunday in Lent, we joined Abram as he sought God’s promise; we declared with the Psalmist, “Your face, Lord, will I seek.”
This coming Sunday (3/23), the third Sunday in Lent, we will join Moses as we continue the theme of seeking God. Bring a friend and join us at 10:00 am as we observe Holy Eucharist.
Multi-denominational Lenten Dinner Worship AT ST. PAUL’S TODAY
Our weekly Lenten offerings to the community for this season are in the form of Dinners and Worship on Thursday evenings at 6:00 pm. We are collaborating with the Claremore First Christian Church, Grace United Methodist Church, and Verdigris United Methodist Church. Last week, we were at Grace UMC, and it was a fantastic service of communal fellowship! Here is the schedule for the remaining dinners:
March 20 – St. Paul’s
March 27 – Verdigris UMC
April 3 – Claremore First Christian Church
April 10 – Verdigris UMC
April 17 (Agape Dinner & Maundy Thursday Worship) – Grace UMC
Lenten Book Club
During Lent this year, we are participating in a national-church-wide book club. We meet on Sunday mornings at 9:00 am for coffee (and food if you wish) and conversation about the book The Ungrateful Refugee by Dina Nayeri. Our first discussion took place last Sunday, March 16, and will continue through Palm Sunday (April 13).
