Sundays at St. Paul’s This Summer

As summer approaches we anticipate a break in our routines.  We’ll do this at St. Paul’s by devoting a few Sundays this summer to worship outside our usual pattern.  We begin on June 15 with worship from the New Zealand Prayer Book.  On July 13, we will use a form from another of the Churches in the Anglican Communion.  On August 16, we will move our worship to Saturday and our location to Eastford as we use an informal form of liturgy at the Parish picnic.  On Sunday, August 17, worship at St. Paul’s will follow Rite 1 using “traditional” language.  I’m also looking forward to worship in our Garden space, children’s sermon Sundays and a few other variations.  Watch the weekly e-mail and bulletins as the summer progresses.

Parish Picnic Saturday, August 16

Once again this year we’ll return to Roger and Bonnie’s beautiful house on the lake in Eastford.  Yes, it’s a bit of a drive—about ½ hour from St. Paul’s—but absolutely beautiful when you arrive.  Come at 3:00 to swim or just relax and chat.  Eucharist will be at 4:30 followed by supper.  Directions and signup sheets will appear in the Parish Hall as the date approaches.  In case of rain, we will postpone until 11:00 on Sunday 8/17.
