Creation Sunday: October 8, 2023

The Season of Creation at Grace St. Paul’s

Revel in the direct link between nature and God in a service as celebratory as Christmas and Easter. We celebrate the beauty of the earth. We recognize the intimate connection that each of us has with our Mother, this planet.

Come be a part of bringing the world back to its ancient connection to the cosmos. Bring everyone you know to this act of love and celebration on Sunday, October 8. It is our calling as Christians!

Creation Sunday Services at 7:45 and 10 a.m., in the

church (10 a.m. also live-streamed on Facebook and YouTube)

Environmental Booths at 12 p.m. to 4 p.m. on the Labyrinth

Blessing of Animals, 5 p.m. on the labyrinth

Join our Live Stream Team!

We need a couple Live Stream trainees, due to upcoming vacations among all our team all at the same time!

This has recently become a very easy process, due to having two cameras and easy-to-use equipment. In fact, if you know windows, you could learn live streaming in just 90 minutes during a service.*

There is no ongoing commitment required, so if you would like to help us out, please email Bruce at bladewcal@gmail.com The need is rather urgent, and could be a one-time thing.

*By the way, the welcome announcement can be played as a recording, so you don't need a radio announcer voice, either.

Centering Prayer group meets every Friday at noon in the Bloom Room!

Volunteers needed in Nursery to hold babies and play with

toddlers during the 10 a.m. services!

Please contact Jessica Swift at

Next Monday, September 25th, the Snack Packers are back and will be filling 600 bags for onward-traveling migrants.
