THIS WEEK at Saint Paul's

Jesus said to him, “Have you believed because you have seen me? Blessed are those who have not seen and yet have come to believe.”  John 20:29

WORSHIP AT SAINT PAUL’S

In Lessons and Carols format we will gather in the choir stalls to proclaim scriptures and sing and carols of the season. Note: this liturgy will be offered in person only, and not online.

Join us in the Undercroft following the service for Coffee Hour fellowship, refreshments, and puzzling.

The next confirmation class will be held after the service in the Choir Room.

Pastoral visits with Communion: If your health or mobility renders you unable to attend on Sundays and you wish Rev. Ramona to bring Holy Communion to your home, please email her (or call/text at 612-201-6634).

Journey Through Holy Week

Holy Week begins on Palm Sunday, March 29. Holy Week is of the highest importance for Christians as we commemorate and journey with Jesus in the final days of his earthly ministry, his suffering, death, and resurrection. I invite you to participate fully in the Holy Week services at Saint Paul’s. On Palm Sunday, Maundy Thursday, and Easter Sunday, we welcome The Rev. Barbara del Caro Scaia as Deacon. See the service times listed below.

• Commemorates Jesus’ triumphant entry into Jerusale m, celebrated with palm procession and the reading of the Passion Gospel.

Maundy Thursday, April 2, 7:00 pm

• Observes the Last Supper, and institution of the Eucharist. Humility, service, and love.

Good Friday, April 3, noon and 7:00 pm

• Commemorates Jesus’ crucifixion and death on the cross. Sacrifice, forgiveness, and reflection on redemption.

Easter Sunday, April 5, 10:00 am

• Celebrates the resurrection of Jesus with Holy Eucharist. Triumph, renewal, life!

Pastoral Care

The Pastoral Care Team has a request for all: as we practice our social distancing, do not let that extend to social isolation. Take a few minutes every day to call someone to see how they are doing – to reach out and say a prayer with them and/or find out if they need anything. One of the things that is so important right now is to connect with our community. If there are those who need help, please let us know and we will figure out how to assist; if you are that person, please reach out to Deacon Janet or Pat Trumbull. As Jesus said: Love one another.
