Upcoming services
During the Lenten Season, the altar vestments changed from Green (the color of living things and symbolizing God’s creation) to Violet (symbolic of penitence and expectation). However, during Holy Week we changed the liturgical vestments to Red, the color of fire and blood. Beginning on Easter Sunday and continuing until Pentecost the altar is vested in white, which symbolizes joy, purity, and truth.
April 19th we will celebrate Holy Communion, Rite Two, at 9:30 am with Rev. Sharon Voelker officiating. Vestry will meet following the service.
April 26th we will celebrate Morning Prayer, Rite Two, at 9:30 am with Richard Hutchinson officiating.
Goats are coming to St. Paul's!
Exciting things are happening at St. Paul's! The first weekend in May, an innovative and eco-friendly land restoration effort is coming to life on our church property. We are collaborating with Green Space Romeo and Michigoat to bring in a herd of hardworking goats to tackle invasive plant species. For three days, 30 goats will call the church property home, grazing on invasive vegetation that threatens the health of the local ecosystem. This method uses targeted grazing to restore balance to the land in a sustainable, low-impact way. To become involved as a sponsor for as little as $20, please visit this page. All donors will be invited to a meet and greet with the goats as they work on Saturday, May 2!
Outdoor work days
The next scheduled Meditation Trail workday is this Saturday, April 18 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!
Lenten Programs
We had excellent discussions during our Lenten suppers. Several participants expressed the desire to continue with some sort of Bible/ theology study. We would meet for a simple supper, rotating the hosting among the participants, and then spend time in discussion of the chosen topic. If you would be interested in attending something like this once or twice a month, please let Ellie or Richard know.
