In the Anglican Cycle of Prayer, we pray for La Iglesia Anglicana de Chile.

In the Diocesan Cycle of Prayer, we pray for those involved in specialized licensed ministries throughout the Episcopal Church in Minnesota including lay preachers, Eucharistic ministers and visitors, and lay readers; and for our musicians and worship committees. We also pray for the parish of the Good Shepherd (Windom).

Faith in Action

When was the last time you signed into your Realm account? Never been there? It’s all good! If you need a refresher or a reset for your password, simply drop an email to Angie Paulson.

Outreach Corner:

The willing hands of Saint Paul’s members continue to be busy helping others during the pandemic. Read the latest Outreach Commission update here.

Wanted: Your BOOKS.
Even during winter months, Saint Paul’s Little Library continues to be extremely popular, and more books are needed to replenish and keep the collection fresh. If you have any left over from your “stay-at-home” stash we would love to have them. They can be dropped off at Hazel’s house if you are near church (call her at 612-377-0943), or Laurie can make a pick-up run if needed (612-849-1348). Children’s books are particularly in demand. Thank you from our reading neighbors!

A message from Lorrie Sandelin at 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.”

Senior Warden Mark Anderson shared the information from the February All Parish Meeting held on 28 February 2021:

Saint Paul’s has entreated the aid of Saint Joseph as we proceed with the sale of the Beim House. His statue was inhumed on Monday in a brief ceremony. You may lend your prayers during the listing and sale process (and see photos of the ceremony) by using the prayers here.

Is there a hymn or song you’re particularly longing to hear as part of our Bridge of Song playlist (link in right sidebar) on YouTube? Your requests are welcome; email them to Jacob Manier.

We have spaces to let in the Beim House and church proper for several officing tenants. If you know an individual or organization looking to relocate, contact Senior Warden Mark Anderson.

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.
