Sharing Resources, Changing Lives

MID-WEEK LENTEN SERVICES

Tomorrow, 6 February, is Ash Wednesday, the beginning of the six-week season of Lent. We will offer a time of food and fellowship, learning and worship.

Enjoy a prepared meal and the company of your church family from 6:00-6:45 p.m. in the Celebration Center. The Deacons have organized to provide the meals, for which a free-will donation will be accepted for the purchase of new choir robes for the St. Paul Singers.   

From 6:45-7;30, we will learn and worship in an informal style. Using Sarah Parson’s book, A Clearing Season, we will spend time examining ourselves and discussing what we need to clear away in our lives to make room for God. Our worship will use liturgy and practices from the Celtic tradition. An ancient worship and spiritual tradition which affirms a God who desires and does live among us, this is a most appropriate worship style to use when we are asking ourselves the question, “If God seems far away, who moved?”

Our Mid-Week Lenten services will continue through 12 March, the week before Holy Week. Take a respite mid-week and enjoy the company of one another and God’s presence.    

TALENT SHOW SUCCESS!!!

Abundant thanks go out to all those who helped make the St. Paul Church Talent Show held this past Saturday a great success! Many shared their musical, acting, and poetic talents, and others provided food and help with decorations, set-up and clean-up. Many more came to enjoy the food and the talent show and to lend their support to the cause of purchasing new choir robes for the St. Paul Singers. $1,033 was raised at the Talent Show! Many thanks to all who helped make this event a great success! We look forward to future Talent Shows!

2007 CONTRIBUTION STATEMENTS

New Members

Next New Members reception is Sunday February 24th during the worship service.

CONGREGATIONAL MEETING

Session calls for a meeting of the congregation on Sunday, 24 February, following the worship service. The purposes of the meeting are to act upon the Nominating Committee’s recommendation to elect one Elder and four congregation representatives to the 2008 Nominating Committee; to review and consider the adequacy of the pastor’s terms of call for 2008, and to hear information from the Session regarding the ministries and mission of our church

Our Mid-Week Gatherings begin on 3 October and will continue through the program year. On Wednesday evenings, we gather for a shared potluck meal from 6:00 to 6:30 (come even if you cannot bring any food; there will be plenty!). Then from 6:30-7:30, we will watch a short segment of the DVD Saving Jesus and share in a time of discussion about the segment.

Saving Jesus is the newest DVD from the producers of Living the Questions, which we enjoyed during our Mid-Week Gatherings last autumn. Saving Jesus takes a new look at Jesus for the third millennium of the Church, with the new perspective “saving” Jesus from being defined and monopolized by the fringe perspectives of the Church.

For more information, talk to Nancy Dixon, Gayle Fidler, or Joann Goss of the Ministry of Discipling.
