Beginning 2/25 for five Thursdays of Lent at 6:30pm we will journey into Bishop Ed Little's book "The Heart of a Leader: Saint Paul as Mentor, Model, and Encourager". Our Thursday sessions will being at 6:30pm with a short virtual Stations of the Cross service followed by the book study. The entire session will be hosted on Zoom in order to maintain our pandemic protocols and to allow for the best hearing and understanding of each other. If you'd like to join but have technical challenges, please contact Mother Michelle. Bishop Ed, himself, will join us on 3/18 ... from California!
If we place a group order, the book is $15 (without tax/shipping) via the church's Amazon account. (Kindle versions are available for $7.99 directly from Amazon.) If you'd like a copy of the book, please complete this simple form or let Mother Michelle know. If you are able to drop an extra $15 in the offering plate to cover the expense, that would be wonderful. If not, then please consider this St. Paul's contribution to your Lenten spiritual journey this year!
We really hope you will join us!
This Week at St. Paul's
Mother Michelle Walker
Dear St. Paul's Family,
Thank you so very much for your prayers, texts, emails, and understanding of my need to be out of town unexpectedly this week to be with my mother. It was a rollercoaster that many of us have experienced in our own lives and has left me rather exhausted, especially after a second middle-of-the-night trip to the ER on Wednesday night! I am blessed to report that she seems to be doing and we are hoping for a full recovery. I know what a miracle that is and I thank God for it.
I am also happy to report that I've made it back to Indiana ... just in time for the polar vortex!
On this Friday morning I will leave my weekly reflection to that of thankfulness for your prayers and warm wishes for you during this cold weather. Be safe out there, even if you don't leave your home over the next few days!
Blessings!
Mother Michelle
