COLLECT AND READINGS
Blessed Lord, who caused all holy Scriptures to be written for our learning: Grant us so to hear them, read, mark, learn, and inwardly digest them, that we may embrace and ever hold fast the blessed hope of everlasting life, which you have given us in our Savior Jesus Christ; who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever. Amen.
The readings may be found

Morsel for Meditation
Be faithful in small things because it is in them that your strength lies. Nothing is small for our good God, for he is great and we are small. That is why he lowers himself and cares to do small things, in order to offer us an opportunity to show him our love. Since he does them, they are great things, they are infinite. Nothing he does can be small. Again: practice fidelity even in the least things, not for their own sake, but for the sake of what is great – that is, the will of God.
Mother Teresa,
A Life for God

Spoofing/Phishing alert.
Please be aware that St. Paul’s and the staff of St. Paul’s
are not
soliciting funds via text or email. Over the last year, parishioners have been contacted via email or text for funds, supposedly from St. Paul’s. The imposter usually asks for gift cards or deposits. If you receive such a request, please ignore it (DO NOT click on any links). You can also call the church office, or forward email to

Stewardship Today
Frank McKee – Stewardship Committee
What you commit to God’s work here will decide the future of your church. Will we continue to reach out in the name of Jesus and grow, or will we be held back and shrink? The choice is yours. May God through the Holy Spirit, guide you in your decision this week. Next Sunday we will gather and give thanks for your pledges in a service of celebration and thanksgiving.

DOK PRAYER REQUESTS & BOX
The Daughters of the King
support your prayer needs and wishes. Each Sunday a prayer team will be available to pray with you after the Worship Service in the choir area after the 10:30 service. If you would like additional information, please see a DOK member.
They also have a intercessory prayer box on the table in the Narthex to deposit prayer requests. Prayer request cards may be found in the pews and beside the box in the Narthex. Daughters pray daily. All prayers are confidential. Each person is prayed for one month. If you wish for continued prayers, please complete another request card or contact a Daughter. You may call the church office (903-455-5030) and specify it is for the DOK intercessory prayer list. You can hand the card to a Daughter (she is always wearing her cross).
