Sometimes it's good to start the day with a little connection and prayer.  (Zoom Link)

On Thursday mornings, our Rector, Becky Gettel, hosts a one hour check-in. She briefly updates us on church matters, answers any questions we may have, and then asks each of us how we're doing. Folks are welcome to share whatever they'd like or they may pass and just listen. 

As 9:30 approaches, we hold all we've spoken of in prayer, launching one another into our day, grounded in God's love for us. 

Grab your coffee and join in, Thursday mornings at 8:30 am on Zoom!

Maundy Thursday begins the Triduum, or three holy days before Easter. Join with the community of St. Paul's as we begin these most holy days together on Thursday in Holy Week.

On this night we re-enact the primary rituals of Jesus’ last evening with his friends; the foot washing and the Eucharist. And then we witness as the altar is stripped and preparation is made for our time at the foot of the cross.

The service will begin at 7 p.m.

Good Friday continues the Triduum, or three holy days before Easter.

We gather in quiet prayer to again hear the Passion read, to venerate the cross, and to partake of the reserved Sacrament in community. In this way, we claim a place away from the hustle and bustle of life, at the foot of the cross, in Jesus’ most poignant moment of generosity and suffering.

The service will begin at 12 noon.

Our Good Friday Service will be live-streamed via Zoom. CLICK HERE TO JOIN

The first (and arguably, the primary) celebration of Easter in the Book of Common Prayer, our St. Paul's Easter Vigil will begin at 7 p.m. in darkness.

On the eve of Easter, a fire is lit and blessed in the church yard, as we huddle together, lighting the Pascal candle and then our own candles from the New Flame. We chant our way indoors to sit and listen to the stories of God’s people throughout our scripture. And then, with music, bells, and joy, the lights come on and we proclaim the Resurrection and celebrate the first Eucharist of Easter. If one service in the entire year were to attempt to hold the whole meaning of our faith in a risen Christ, it would be this one.

The Easter Vigil Service consists of four parts:

• The Service of Light (kindling of new fire, lighting the Paschal candle, the Exsultet);
• The Service of Lessons (readings from the Hebrew Scriptures interspersed with prayers);
• Renewal of Baptismal Vows;
• and the Eucharist in which we fully enter into the Easter Season with shouts of Alleluia, the proclamation of the Easter Gospel and Holy Communion

If you cannot join us in-person at St. Paul's, you can connect with us online on Zoom for this service.
