Sunday, November 30, is the 5th Sunday of the month. As you have likely noticed, St. Paul’s tries to do something a little different each time we have a 5th Sunday. This month, 5th Sunday falls on the same day that the Episcopal Church observes Break the Silence – a day wherein we name and address the reality of gender-based violence within our communities and support survivors through prayer, advocacy, and concrete action. Our Eucharistic service that morning will center around a special liturgy that celebrates Healing, Hope, and Liberation, and invites all of us into the work of healing and renewal.
If you are – or know of someone who is – a survivor of abuse, we will acknowledge the names of those individuals during our Prayers of the People. A sign-up sheet is located on the table at the back of the Nave where you can list the names of individuals to be included in that special prayer or you can submit name online utilizing this link: Prayer Requests – St Paul’s Claremore
