This Week at St. Paul’s

The Fifteenth Sunday after Pentecost

Grant us, Lord, not to be anxious about earthly things, but to love things heavenly; and even now, while we are placed among things that are passing away, to hold fast to those that shall endure; through Jesus Christ our Lord, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever. Amen.

Feeling disconnected?

“Love the Lord your God with all your heart and all your soul and with all your mind and with all your strength. The second is this: 'Love your neighbor as yourself.' There is no commandment greater than these." - Mark 12:30-31

Feeling disconnected? Being connected to friends and community and “loving your neighbor” starts with being compassionate with ourselves. Join us for a 6-session series to explore how our connection to God and others relates to our spiritual, emotional, and physical well-being. This group starts this Sunday, September 18, in the guild hall.

Facilitated by Marissa Carraway, Susan Waldrum, and Ashley Cannan
