More than 20 people from St. Paul's have contributed creative, heartfelt, and transformative care over two days, with additional service from repeat volunteers when available.

Book Group Forming

Higbie Library
A group of teens and adults is forming with aspirations to read and discuss books together this year. Bring ideas for texts you would like to read so we can choose books and dates to deepen our understanding and application of Jesus' teaching in our daily lives. All are welcome.
The Circle's Rummage Sale!
Friday, October 2 - Saturday, October 3 | 9:30am-3pm
Volunteers are needed throughout the process — organizing donations, setting up, helping during the sale, and cleaning up afterward. Whether you can give a few hours or a full day, your time and energy are greatly appreciated.
If you’re interested in volunteering, please reach out to Susan Group and let her know when you’re available to help.
Blessing of the Animals
Sunday, October 4 | 8am, 10am
Creation-loving saints Francis and Claire inspire our warm welcome of furry, fluffy, feathery family members to come to church with you! If your dear pets are a little too restless for that, simply meet us outside the doors of the church and chapel, at the conclusion of our Sunday services, where treats and blessings will be available in Skillings Garden!
Fall Fellowship Progressive Dinners
Saturday, October 10
Each fall we gather in small groups for dinner in parishioners’ homes to enjoy fellowship in a small setting and get to know folks we might not already know. We will gather at church for refreshments and then head out to have dinner at one home before “progressing” to another host’s home for dessert. This year will be extra special as we celebrate the 100th anniversary of laying the cornerstone of our sanctuary. We are working on child care arrangements so that parents can participate.
We will do sign ups starting in September online and after church on Sundays and will look to have sign ups finalized Sunday September 27.
We could still use a few hosts, so please get in touch if you have room to seat about 8 people. (If you don’t like to cook, we can connect you with someone who does to partner with you.)
Questions, please contact Anne Casscells (acasscells@gmail.com)

Foote Hall
ChurchNext, an offering of Forward Movement, will provide a new online curriculum, “Becoming Beloved Community: Understanding Systemic Racism.” The course is available for individuals at no charge. You may register for the course any time at churchnext.tv.
Designed for study over a period of six weeks, the curriculum explores how systemic racism has been integrated into U.S. culture from the very beginning, as well as the Episcopal Church’s history of active participation in systemic racism. The curriculum offers guidance on learning from this history and building toward what the Episcopal Church’s Presiding Bishop Michael Curry describes as “the Beloved Community of God.”
