From Fr. Dave: Parish-Wide Prayer on October 30th

Featured

‘“Rejoice always, pray without ceasing, give thanks in all circumstances; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you.’” 1 Thessalonians 5:16-18, ESV

I am once again asking you all to join me in a parish-wide ‘hour of prayer’ session on Friday, October 30th, at noon. As I mentioned before the first time we undertook this collective time of prayer, our communal prayers are powerful; they unite us in like-mindedness, and they serve as an intentional reminder to stop the daily routines of our lives to offer to God those things that are both of the wider community (national elections) and of a personal nature.

I invite you to include…

  • The upcoming elections: national, state, and local
  • Our fellow parishioners who are either ill or dealing with challenging issues
  • Continued growth in spiritual maturity
  • Thanksgiving for all the ministries of this parish
  • The Spirit’s movement in the calling of a new rector
  • Safe trick-or-treating in our neighborhoods
  • The people and circumstances that bring us peace and joy

You will obviously have other supplications, but here’s at least a start.

Quick Facts

St. Paul’s Episcopal Church is a place where people encounter the living God and the challenging, inspiring, and reconciling Gospel of Jesus Christ. We are an open and affirming community, and we welcome everyone regardless of their gender, sexual orientation, ethnicity, race, religion, status, ability, doubts, or questions. There is one God, but God’s encounter with each of us is as unique as we are! Our vision may seem bold; it is however at the heart of our beliefs as a church and at the heart of the Gospel message.

On Sundays, we have the following options for worship:

  • At 8:00, we have Eucharist on the 1st and 3rd Sundays with Morning Prayer the rest of the time
  • At 9:30, we have Eucharist with music. This service is both in person and streamed on Zoom.
  • We have a wonderful relationship with our sister congregation La Iglesia Episcopal de la Reurrección and have bilingual worship services on special occasions.

We are in the call process and our parish profile is here.

We have a weekly email newsletter that goes out on Thursday nights. To receive it, put your email address in the box below.
