Upcoming services
This Sunday, June 21, is Rev. Sharon’s last Sunday as our Supply Priest. Please plan to join us as we celebrate the time she spent with us, thank her for being with us, and let her know we will always consider her a part of our St. Paul’s family.
June 28th we will celebrate Morning Prayer, Rite Two, at 9:30 am with Ellie Stryker officiating.
July 5th we will celebrate Holy Communion, Rite Two, at 9:30 am with Rev. Chas Kipp officiating. While we are sad to say goodbye to Rev. Sharon, we are thrilled to announce that Rev. Chas Kipp will be our next priest. We will introduce him to the congregation this Sunday and he will begin his official duties on July 1st. Rev. Chas will be with us four Sundays each month as well as on certain feast days. Once he is settled, we will announce his office hours.
A message from our new priest, Chas Kipp
“I am so excited to join the family of St.Paul’s! My wife Kristen and I have two adult children, Hannah and Alec. I am a lifelong Episcopalian and a recent graduate of the Seminary of the Southwest in Austin Texas. My first day will be July 1st and I look forward to Seeking Christ, Serving Christ, and Sharing Christ while getting to know each of you.”
Rev. Chas’ Ordination to the Priesthood will take place on Tuesday, June 23rd at 7:00 pm at Christ Church Cranbrook. We would like as many as possible of our St. Paul’s family to attend to show our support. If you would like to carpool, let me know. Please take minute to thank the members of our Search Committee — John Contoni, Sue Kraetke, Richard Hutchinson, and Kristin Brewer. They reviewed resumes, conducted both online and on site interviews, checked references, and recommended an excellent candidate to be our next priest.
