Elliott's Rainbow: a new book from the Reverend Jim Silcox

The Reverend Jim Silcox was associate rector of Saint Paul's from 2005 to 2012. During Jim's+ tenure at Saint Paul's he often taught and preached about the subjects of faith, doubt, grief, and healing.

We received word of Father Silcox's newly published book and share this invitation from him.

The Reverend Jim Silcox has recently published a book entitled: Elliott’s Rainbow, A Bridge from Grief to Grace.

The book traces a family’s journey from grief following the death of a child to comfort, hope, consolation and confident purpose. It is an inspiring account that will encourage those who are bereaved, those on a spiritual journey, or those struggling with faith shaken by grief. Meticulously researched and thoughtfully crafted, it is ideal for church based and secular grief support groups, pastoral care seminars as well as individuals searching for consolation and hope. The book shows what God can do with broken hearts. It will transform readers’ lives.

Elliott’s Rainbow is now available on Amazon and will be at select bookstores by Thanksgiving.

New Day by Day Available

The new Day by Day issue for November, December, and January has arrived and is available in the Narthex. If you would like to have one mailed to you, please contact the parish office. Forward Day by Day is a booklet of daily, "page-a-day," inspirational meditations each reflecting on a specific Bible passage from the daily lectionary readings of the Episcopal Church. The meditations are rich in substance and offer a wide range of witness and experiences. These meditations are also available online on the Forward movement website.

Program Guide is available

Our 2026-2027 program guide is available. We invite you to browse this publication and look for ways that you can discover or rediscover where you belong, what you are called to do, and how we might grow together in God's Presence. A digital copy is available here and printed versions in the Narthex and the rack outside the Parish Office.
