This Sunday at Saint Paul's

Let us hold fast to the confession of our hope without wavering, for he who has promised is faithful.

Hebrews 10:23

Ninteenth Sunday after Pentecost

The Eucharist will be celebrated from our altar at 10:00am; it will also be livestreamed on Zoom (see link above) and archived for one week on our YouTube channel. You may view or download this week’s bulletin here.

Eclectic Evangelism will follow the morning liturgy. Rev. Ramona will lead a discussion about food insecurity, the economics of food, programs which help feed people, and the importance of food shelves. We will also discuss an opportunity for Saint Paul’s to participate in a food drive using the Advent Calendar as our guide. All are welcome.

20 NOVEMBER: A Celebration of Life for longtime Saint Paul’s member Anna Wafler will take place in-person at our altar and via Zoom (see above). Visitation will begin at 9:00am, and the liturgy at 10:00. All are welcome to attend.
Eternal rest grant to Anna, and let light perpetual shine upon her.

A message from Joyce Uptown Food Shelf:

“Monetary donations are welcome! Right now we are doing a prepackaged food model, and so have a need for specific items. We can purchase food at our food banks much cheaper than you can purchase food right now: for every $1.00 donated we can purchase about $2.20 worth of food.”

Please visit their website and look for the yellow DONATEbutton on the home page.

YouthLink now has a wish list on Amazon for direct purchasing of needed items. If this is a more convenient option for you to help them, visit their list here.
