Hello, One and All!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Last Sunday (3\/15), the Fourth Sunday in Lent, we discussed some lessons that may be learned when our journey through the wilderness causes us to linger in the same area for a period of time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This Sunday (3\/22), the last Sunday in Lent, Deacon Emeritus Linda Paul will offer insight for our lectionary readings. Join us at 10:00 am for Morning Prayer followed by coffee hour.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Lenten Dinner & Worship<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n This year during Lent, we are, once again, collaborating with Grace UMC in Claremore, Claremore First Christian Church, and Verdigris UMC for weekly dinner and worship on Thursdays at 6 pm. Tonight, we meet at St. Paul’s. The remaining schedule is as follows:<\/p>\n\n\n\n Mar 19 – St. Paul’s<\/p>\n\n\n\n Mar 26 – FCC<\/p>\n\n\n\n Ap 2 – Grace UMC<\/p>\n\n\n\n Tuesdays at RSU<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Tuesdays @ RSU has resumed with the book entitled Transforming by Austen Hartke.

This is a collaborative event with Claremore Pride wherein parking spaces may be rented by vendors for $15 each. Start planning ahead by thinking about whether you would like to rent a space to sell your wares, crafts, or artwork. In addition, we will have a snack bar and silent auction available inside the parish hall. This will be an exciting and fun way to get together with our family and friends; so save the date – April 11, from 8am-3pm – and keep spreading the word!<\/p>\n\n\n\n Food Pantry Needs<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Add it to your grocery list: <\/strong>The Pride Community Shelf needs to be restocked!<\/p>\n\n\n\n It is located near our entrance through the double red doors of the church next to the small community library.
