Dear Friends,
|
|
As we journey through these weeks of Lent, join us for our Sunday Lenten Adult Formation Series, and Wednesday evening celebration of Eucharist/Bible study. In the midst of March Madness don’t miss “Mulch Madness” this Saturday at St. Paul’s. This Sunday is a wonderful opportunity for newcomers to experience a tour of St. Paul’s grounds and buildings. Hear about the history of this faith community through the stories of its facilities. I’ll be leading the tour and look forward to you joining me. Hermano Day is this Sunday. Please join us as we gather to express our gratitude for those who plant and harvest our food.
Happy St. Patrick’s Day, a day for me filled with wonderful memories of growing up just outside of New York City, and celebrating with parades, fun, and food.
See you at church Sunday.
George

Adult Formation
On Sundays between 10:15-11:00 a.m. in the St. Paul’s Chapel, join us for a conversation about leadership.
We all have ideas about what makes for a good leader – and, maybe, one too many examples about what doesn’t. What does it mean to be a leader, and what qualities does a good leader embody? How does Jesus’ life and ministry shape our understanding of faithful leadership, both within the church as well as out in the world?
As we head back to the Chapel for our in-person forums, the sessions will no longer be streamed live online. Instead, they will be recorded and posted to the St. Paul’s YouTube page afterward. We appreciate your patience and understanding; the recordings should be available within a few days of when the particular forum takes place.

Mulch Madness in the Courtyard
|
|
|
Looking for a way to burn off some energy and make an impact at St. Paul’s? Grab a rake or shovel and join us on Saturday, March 18, 2023, at 9:00 a.m. in the courtyard as we move mulch into the flower beds in preparation for the growing season. Muscle energy and music makes the work go quickly; please sign up here.
|
|
|
|
We are also looking for one or two more pickup trucks for delivering the mulch that morning. Contact Julia Rudy at jbrudy@yahoo.com if you have a pickup truck and would be willing to bring a load of mulch.

Hermano Day 2023 This Sunday
This Sunday, March 19, is Hermano Day at St. Paul’s, when we recognize the sacrifice of our neighbors who do the hard work of planting and harvesting our food. One way the Farmworker Ministry here at St. Paul’s supports the work of the Episcopal Farmworker Ministry in Newton Grove, NC, is by collecting donations of clothes and other items (see below for a list of most needed items) and presenting them on Hermano Day. Financial donations are always welcome. Contact Katie Bricio (katiebricio13@gmail.com) with any questions, or if you need to drop off donations before March 19.

Movie Night March 27 at 7:00 p.m.
|
|
Hey, Movie Lovers!
You are invited to join us each month for Movie Night, a discussion of recent and not-so-recent movies, hosted by Fr. Javier and Tad Richard.
This month, we’ll be discussing the multi-Oscar-winning film, Everything Everywhere All At Once. Be advised that this genre-bending movie is very strange and at times wildly irreverent, so it may not be for everyone. It should make for lively discussion though!
We will meet at Fortnight Brewing Company, which is close to the church, on Monday, March 27, at 7:00 p.m. Fortnight has good outdoor (covered) seating, they offer non-alcoholic drink options in addition to beer, and are OK if you bring your own non-alcoholic drink.
If you are interested – of course you are interested! – watch the movie ahead of time and join us there and then.
Email Tad if you have any questions.
