Welcome, friends in Christ!
St. Paul’s Episcopal Church is a community that worships God,
welcomes all who seek God through Christ,
and loves and serves others in Christ’s name.
 December 5-6
Thanks to the generosity of the community, St. Paul's collected over 75 pairs of shoes for the Dayton Episcopal Clothing Room! This was our first time doing this shoe drive! Thanks, Everyone, for making it a success!

Dance in the Desert turned out beautifully! Thank you to all whole gave their time and to all who came out in support! We're so proud of our youth!!  December 21, 6:00-8:00 p.m.
The Nativity will be presented on the green space at Far Hills and Dixon, next to the church. Parish members will recreate the roles of Mary, Joseph, Baby Jesus, town folk and the Three Kings, as Bethlehem comes alive - a witness to the birth of our Savior. The crèche scene will include live animals and beautiful lights! Warm beverages and treats will be served. The Christmas Shop will offer items, such as stocking stuffers, holiday confections, cold weather wear and more – the last bits you'll need for your Christmas festivities. "Where your treasure is, there will your heart be also." [pause]
On February 8 for Adult Forum with the Bishop and February 15 for the Annual meeting, we would like to request finger food donations! Fresh fruit, breads, mini-muffins, vegetables and dip - any and all of these would be appreciated. Just a little nibble or two for the assembled groups at these events. Feel free to call the office, 293-1154, with any questions. On February 28, 9am - 12 noon, St. Paul's will host the 2015 Lenten Morning of Reflection, lead by The Rt. Rev. Dr. Thomas E. Breidenthal. The topic will be "ISIS (ISIL) and Ebola: Christian Responses to Moral and Natural Evil". This will take place in the Parish Hall. Lent Connections is in the works. Do you have something to include? Please submit your articles and information, electronically, to Connections@stpauls-dayton.org. Submission deadline is NO LATER THAN February 22! We go to press March 3! Huge thanks! Prayer is formative.
From birth to adulthood, in so many ways and forms, prayer has been a presence in our lives. Prayer is both a fuel and a calming agent, an ask and an answer. It’s universal, practiced in many forms. Prayer is communication with God.
During Lent, we would like to encourage prayer partnerships, asking individuals at St. Paul’s to pray for another in the parish family, an intentional relationship over the course of the Lenten season. Even if you don’t… You've heard of March Madness, right?? The college basketball competition that takes over the weeks of early spring? The UD Flyers were major contenders last year! The tradition is to create a "bracket" to track the winners of each game, whittling down the competitors to a final champion. Lent Madness is similar, only our competitors are saints!!!
The format is straightforward: 32 saints are placed into a tournament-like single elimination bracket. Each pairing remains open for a set period of time… Our parish will create a Stations of the Cross display that will be open to the community during Holy Week. The "way of the cross" depicts the events of Christ's life in 14 individual stations, placed around the grounds of the church. We will do this with sculptural displays, created by small mixed-age groups of parishioners. Stations will include outdoor and indoor locations to encourage visitors to tour our beautiful facilities.
Each station team will invite a sponsoring organization of their… Ash Wednesday, February 18th through Easter Day, April 5th
St. Paul's will have a walking labyrinth available for Lent.
Location: The PaulPit
Open Hours: Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday evenings, 6 – 9pm, starting Tuesday, February 17, after the Pancake Supper
Why: For prayer, for serenity, for clarity, for yourself, for God. Come experience the calm of this simple walk. This Sunday at 9:30am during Adult Forum, Fr. Greg and Jean Berry will lead a session called Making Connections: There are other ships in the sea.This will be lively and interactive, a fun way to continue our asset mapping process, revealing other organizations, groups and individuals whose collaboration might constitute a new ministry for our congregation. Please come and share your ideas!!
