January 6, 2023
Dear Friends,
|
|
The new year is upon us, and I invite you to consider engaging with some Adult Formation offerings beginning this month. Throughout 2023, until Advent, the Sunday gospel readings will be from Matthew’s Gospel. Spend some time with Javier and I as we explore this wonderful gospel.
I highly recommend the MLK Weekend movie, dinner, and discussion. I saw the movie Traces of the Trade a few years ago and it is powerful.
Looking forward to gathering with you this Sunday as we enter into the liturgical season of Epiphany.
George

Sunday Forums in January: The Gospel of Matthew
On Sundays from 10:15-11:00 a.m. in the St. Paul’s chapel, join the clergy for a conversation about our lectionary year as we navigate through the Gospel of Matthew. How does this particular gospel shed light on our understanding of who Jesus is? What does this have to tell us about who we are called to be today? See below for the forum schedule.
As we head back to the chapel for our forums, the sessions will no longer be available via Zoom. Instead, they will be recorded and posted to the St. Paul’s YouTube page afterward. We appreciate your patience and understanding; the recordings should be available within a few days of when the particular forum takes place.

Please sign up here for a special Martin Luther King Jr. Weekend offering of Traces of the Trade followed by dinner and discussion on Sunday, January 15 beginning at 4:00 p.m.
Traces of the Trade is a documentary that tells one New England family’s story as they uncover their ties to the transatlantic slave trade. It also narrates the significant role that the Episcopal Church played in slavery in the United States.
We’ll watch the movie together in the sanctuary and then re-gather in the parish hall for a facilitated conversation over dinner.

Our meal will be catered by Ragheid Alchaar, a chef who came to the U.S. as a refugee and whose delicious food is becoming a regular part of St. Paul’s activities.
This event is free and open to the parish with donations accepted but not required to offset the cost of food. Offered by the Racial Justice Planning Group.
