THIS WEEK at Saint Paul's

How priceless is your love, O God!
Your people take refuge under the shadow of your wings.  Psalm 36:7

04Feb2024 Epistle

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).

The Eucharist will be celebrated at 10:00AM in person and via Zoom; login instructions above. Please click the link to view or download the morning’s bulletin.

The loose plate collection on third Sundays goes into the Rector’s discretionary account. These funds are used to assist people in need, and for unexpected expenses not covered in the budget.

Join us for Coffee Hour snacks, puzzling, and fellowship immediately following in the Undercroft.

The Iron Cow, Greg Schaffner’s final novel, has been posthumously published. Edited by Julie L’Enfant and designed by Pi Luna, Greg’s daughter, it will be Julie’s presentation topic after Coffee Hour. Greg (d. December 2020) was a member of Saint Paul’s congregation and choir.

In the Anglican Cycle of Prayer, we pray for theChurch in the Province of the West Indies.

In the Diocesan Cycle of Prayer, we pray for all who serve those in need of food, clothing, and warm spaces during the cold winter months; pray for all ministries for our youngest members within the Episcopal Church in Minnesota, and all those in our faith community who are involved with faith formation ministries with children, youth, and young adults. We also pray for the parishes of Saint Peter (Cass Lake, Kasson, Warroad).

Saint Paul’s Parish Prayer List can be found here.

January’s food shelf theme is PANTRY STAPLES: post-holiday restocking of flour, masa, sugar, oil, and so on. Place your items in the bins outside the Undercroft. p.s. General donations are always welcome!
Email Liz Gamble Taylor or call 612-889-5250 to assist with delivery.

From Joyce Uptown Foodshelf: “Monetary donations are the most helpful and can be made through PayPal *new link* here or sent to Joyce Uptown at 3041 Fremont Ave S, Minneapolis 55408. For every $1.00 donated we can purchase $2.20 of food from our foodbanks.”

Winter Blessing Bags are now available: pick up several from the bins downstairs to have on hand in your car. These items will go far in bringing daily comforts to neighbors in need!

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

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.
