Almighty and everlasting God, whose will it is to restore all things in your well-beloved Son, the King of kings and Lord of lords: Mercifully grant that the peoples of the earth, divided and enslaved by sin, may be freed and brought together under his most gracious rule; who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and for ever. Amen.
Jeremiah 23:1-6
Psalm 46

Grateful Gobbler Walk and Thanksgiving Service
Friends,
That time of year is nigh upon us: Thanksgiving is just around the corner and with it comes the Grateful Gobbler Walk, Roll, or Stroll to Benefit the Homeless in our area. This walk takes place on Thursday morning, November 25th – Thanksgiving Day – at 8:00 AM. This year, participants of all ages from St. Paul’s are invited to walk, roll, or stroll – all under the banner of the Episcopal Church. This is not just limited to YAMs or Youth. If you are interested in walking, please register online here. The cost is a donation $20 per walker – do not let this be a limiting factor. St. Paul’s Members plan on meeting before the walk at the carousel in Coolidge Park under the Episcopal Flag. After the walk, we will make our way to St. Paul’s for the Thanksgiving Day Service, which begins at 10:30 AM.
Yours in Christ,
Bob

November Habitat Build Day
Friends,
On Saturday, November 20th, at 8:45, 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 8:45 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

We will leave around 6:00 PM on Friday and should be back by 3:00 PM on Sunday afternoon.

October 24th – YAMs “Cold” Breakfast Chefs and Servers
Friends,
As may have read, Sunday October 24th, is the parish BBQ at St. Paul’s. As such, the morning breakfast offerings have been continental. That is . . . until now. The YAMs, partnered with Chef Nate Flynt, will be providing a cold breakfast to rival any cold breakfast. Preparation will be Saturday morning, October 23rd, with more details to follow. However, in order to serve, the YAMs should be on hand Sunday morning by X:XX AM. It is early, to be sure, but will be worth it. See you there!
