St. Paul’s Newsletter – 1 August 2025

Hello, everyone!

I trust everyone is enjoying the much-needed rain today! Two months ago, we were longing for a break from the “monsoon season”, and then the drought set in! Goodness!!

The month of August is a fairly quiet one at St. Paul’s; but we do have a couple of noteworthy events about which I want to remind you. Also, stay tuned, as we may try to plan a fun and casual movie night (or two) during the month.

Rogers County Pride to Visit St. Paul’s

THIS Sunday (8/03), our local Pride group plans to visit us!!! This community wants to show some love to their allies; so, this will be a great opportunity for us to show love right back! We hope to see you this Sunday at 10:00am for Holy Eucharist.

Big Tent Day at RSU

Plan to join us on Wednesday, August 20, from 9:30-2:00 for the annual Big Tent Day on the Rogers State University campus. This is a great opportunity for us to show what we have to offer this community; so, if you’re free for a few minutes or a few hours on this day, join us at the St. Paul’s booth!

Note: we also need folks to help set the booth up at 8:30, and break it down at 2:00.

  • That our parishioners will exemplify God’s love and peace during this time when so much religious, social, and political unrest plagues our community, nation, and world
