WORSHIP AT SAINT PAUL’S

Celebrate the Eucharist with us at 10:00AM in person or via Zoom (login instructions above). We welcome The Rev. William Heisley as guest clergy to our pulpit and table, as well as Bob Nienaber to our organ. The service bulletin may be viewed or downloaded here.

Flowers on the retable are given to the glory of God and in gratitude for Saint Paul’s by Helen and Tom Lockhart.

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

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).

 

Prayer Calendar

In the Anglican Cycle of Prayer, we pray for The Church of the Province of South East Asia.

In the Diocesan Cycle of Prayer, we pray for all ecumenical ministries throughout Minnesota, especially for the Minnesota Council of Churches, the ECMN Migration Caucus, Casa Maria, and all those who work with social service agencies and immigration efforts.

Faith in Action

Summer Snack Bags can be found in the yellow-lidded bin outside the Undercroft. Please take several to keep in your car, and share them with neighbors in need!

Food shelf donations:In addition to pantry staples (no expired or glass items, por favor), our partner organizations have expressed a need for COOKBOOKS! Need to thin your collection? Drop off all foodie donations outside the Undercroft. If you’d like to help with deliveries to Casa Maria or Joyce Uptown, contact Laurie Larsen.

Saint Paul’s Little Library is perpetually popular! Children’s picture books and adult fiction are still most needed; all donations can be placed in the bins outside the Undercroft. Your continued generosity helps make this outreach possible.

Episcopal Relief & Development accepts donations to aid those in need both at home and abroad. Click here to donate in a way meaningful to you.

UPCOMING EVENTS OF NOTE

Special Message from Rev. Ramona

June 5, 2026

Dear beloved members of Saint Paul’s,

May God’s peace and love be with you! I am writing to let you know that I will be taking some medical leave beginning on Sunday, June 7. The reason is that I am having some cardiac issues. I need to rest and then have a procedure to take care of the problem. I have confidence that all will go well and I will be back to my energetic self soon. I don’t have a date-certain on when I will return to church. Until then, other clergy members will provide coverage for Sunday worship. And remember, Saint Paul’s does church all summer long!

Here’s my Public Service Announcement:

Women may experience heart issues differently than men. For me, I didn’t have any shortness of breath, chest pain, trouble with stairs, walking, and no issues with blood work, etc. What I did have was tremendous fatigue – fatigue that I couldn’t seem to recover from. This level of fatigue felt very off for me, so I followed up with my doctor who recognized I had a heart issue. So, let me offer this advice: if things don’t

feel right with your body, speak with your doctor, and advocate for finding out the cause.

Please keep me in your prayers and know you are in mine.

Blessings,
Rev. Ramona+

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.
