 SUNDAY, JUNE 16 | SUMMER SPECIAL WORSHIP BEGINS THIS SUNDAY
Our casual and creative Summer Special Worship service returns this Sunday at 9:15 a.m.! We hope that you will join us for this informal Eucharist that meets from June 16 through August at 9:15 a.m. upstairs in the Yo Room.
NAVE RENOVATIONS + SUMMER WORSHIP
From June 16 to July 14, our 8:00 a.m. and 10:30 a.m. Sunday worship services will be held in Key-Andrews Hall as the Nave undergoes renovations. (Our Summer Special Worship, which begins June 16th at 9:15 a.m., will be held in the Yo Room, as usual.) Capital Projects Committee Chairperson Suzanne Barels shares details of the renovation here. Watch for more updates on this important project!
JOIN ST. PAUL'S SUMMER CHOIR
Throughout the summer, musical leadership for the 10:30 service will be provided by the Summer Choir, and new singers are welcome! The choir meets on Sunday mornings, June 16 through Labor Day weekend, from 9:30 – 10:15 to rehearse music for the 10:30 liturgy. Sing when you are in town – no worries when you are not. Experienced choristers from junior high through adults are all welcome. Please contact Paul Thomas if you are interested so a folder and vestment can be provided: paul@stpaulschatt.org.

The pilgrims return on Wednesday, June 26. Please keep them in prayer!
