A Message From the Wardens of St. Paul’s
Last Sunday, August 17th, St. Paul’s hosted a joint service with the congregation of St. Mark’s Episcopal Church. Sunday’s service marked the beginning of a new era for both churches as we began our 18-month journey with our Interim, Pastor Jean. As a trained Interim, Jean is a specialist who helps churches transition from the old to the new; from the past to the future. As a member of St. Paul’s, you play a vital role in that transition, and frankly, we can’t do it without you.
Both churches will be working with Jean in the upcoming weeks to plan out our service schedules. For now, Jean will be conducting the 10am service at St. Paul’s on August 17th and 24th. We’re planning on a Morning Prayer service on August 31st, after which we’ll publish a schedule for the months to come. We’re going to set up meet-and-greet sessions with Jean over the next few weeks with the hope that you’ll get to know her, and she’ll get to know you.
Our Junior Warden, Joe Cairo, and I will keep you posted along the way. On that path, please have faith. The old adage derived from Mathew 17:20 is that “faith can move mountains.” If this is true, just think what faith can do for St. Paul’s.
Best wishes,
Paul Sampson
