August Habitat Build Day

Friends,

On Saturday, August 21st, at 8:30, St. Paul's parishioners (among them YAMs) will gather in the St. Paul’s parking lot to carpool to a Habitat Build. Habitat for Humanity builds homes in partnership with those who would otherwise be unable to purchase a home. There is no cost (outside sweat equity) associated with this event. After we all arrive at St. Paul’s, we will carpool to the build site to work for the morning shift. We should wrap up around lunch time.

As many of you may also know, there is a required form to be filled out in order to work. I am making that form available here. Just print out the form and bring it with you on Saturday. If you forget, I will try to have some forms with me at 8:15 AM, which is when I will be getting there. Our official work time is the morning shift of 9:00 AM to 12:00 PM. After our shift ends, we will luncheon together - time, weather, and cash permitting.

Yours in Christ,
Bob

P.S. Please check out some pictures from this event here.

YAMs Covered-Dish Lunch and Movie

Friends,

On Sunday, August 8 (not the 15th as previously stated), After the 10:30 Service, the YAMs will gather in the Yo Room and adjacent kitchen, upstairs at St. Paul’s. Once there, the YAMs will set a table of covered-dish items for a shared YAMs meal. While the YAMs eat, a short movie will be shown on the projector. After the film is over, a brief discussion will follow. Children are welcome. The cost of this event is a covered-dish item. Please come join us.

Sermon for the 9th Sunday After Pentecost (Year C)

Friends,

Below is the sermon I most recently preached.

The Collect of the Day:

O God, the protector of all who trust in you, without whom nothing is strong, nothing is holy: Increase and multiply upon us your mercy; that, with you as our ruler and guide, we may so pass through things temporal, that we lose not the things eternal; through Jesus Christ our Lord, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever. Amen.

Here are the readings in text format.

Here is the audio recording of the gospel and of the sermon.

Enjoy!

Yours in Christ,
