Our season of Pentecost begins on Sunday, June 9. Following tradition, we'll have a special reading performed simultaneously in different languages...that means as many lectors as possible. You do not have to pronounce the appropriate language perfectly, and you'll get a printout in the language you sign up for. Please do not hesitate to participate. Also, if you know someone who is not a regular lector but would love to read in a foreign language, please let Mike Scheffler know so that he can connect with them. There will be a short rehearsal prior to the Pentecost service at 9:30 am.

This Week at St. Paul's: June 2, 2019

SCRIPTURE GROUP: MAY 28 Scripture Group will meet tonight from 7:30-9:00 pm in the Lichtenberger Room. We'll be discussing chapter 7 (The Laborers in the Vineyard) in Amy-Jill Levine's Short Stories by Jesus. The book is easy to dip into mid-way and you are always welcome to join us. We will also be talking about plans for next year.

SUNDAY LUNCH BUNCH POTLUCK The Sunday Lunch Bunch (SLB) is a group of genial folks who enjoy gathering every FOURTH Sunday of the month to share conversation and a casual meal. This coming Sunday, the Sunday Lunch Bunch will gather for a delicious POTLUCK at the gracious home of John and Darryl Ferguson, located a short, five-minute walk from St. Paul's. We will meet at coffee hour in the Great Hall following the 10 O'clock service and plan to walk over, together. (Transportation will be available, if needed.) You are invited to bring an easy, tasty, dish. Even if you've never tried the Sunday Lunch Bunch, you are welcome. It's a wonderful way to become better acquainted with some of your fellow parishioners.
