Upcoming services
Pentecost Sunday is the seventh Sunday after Easter and commemorates the descent of the Holy Spirit upon the apostles, Mary, and the followers of Christ. It is often referred to as the birthday of the Christian Church. The altar and vestments are red because the Holy Spirit descended as “tongues of fire” and the color symbolizes the transforming power of the Spirit who gives life, courage, and mission to the church.
May 24th (Pentecost Sunday) we will celebrate Morning Prayer, Rite Two, at 9:30 am with Richard Hutchinson officiating.
May 31st we will celebrate Morning Prayer, Rite Two, at 9:30 am with Richard Hutchinson
officiating.
St. Paul's in the News!
Our recent workday with the goats has people talking! We are featured in several local outlets, plus the Episcopal News Service! If you would like to see the Local News 4 interview about the goats, here is the website. We (actually, the goats) were also featured in articles in the Macomb Daily and Romeo’s local newspaper, The Record. Copies are in the coffee area. We are grateful for these opportunities to let St. Paul's light shine in the community!
Outdoor work days
Our re-scheduled Meditation Trail workday is this Saturday, May 23 from 10-12. Please join us as we continue to partner with Green Space Romeo and the Lake St. Clair CISMA to care for our woodlands. This will also be a day where people can choose to work on cleaning up the Memorial Garden now that Spring is springing. Many hands make light work!
Sisters Book Club
Sister's Bookclub will meet Thursday, May 21st, at noon at Cathy Clinton’s house. Please let Cathy know if you plan to attend. Our May book selection is A Prayer for Owen Meany by John Irving, a 1989 novel about faith, destiny, and friendship, following narrator John Wheelwright and his exceptionally small, prophetic best friend, Owen Meany, in 1950s/60s New Hampshire. After a tragic accident involving a foul baseball, Owen believes he is GOD'S INSTRUMENT!! destined for a HEROIC DEATH!! It's a long read, but I think you will enjoy it and the MANY EPISCOPALIAN REFERENCES!
Men's Group
The Men's Group meets the second Tuesday of each month at 7:00 pm at Thee Office Pub & Cookery in downtown Romeo. All men are welcome for food, fun, and fellowship!
