C‍hildren's Chapel

During the 9 a.m. service

The aim of Children’s Chapel is to provide time for children (ages 3-10) to gather in community, sing, hear the gospel in a simpler format, reflect on the readings in their own voice and to offer the Prayers of the People and listen to God in their own way. During the hymn before the gospel reading, you will see a children’s processional cross and children starting to gather at the baptismal font. At the conclusion of the gospel, children are given the opportunity to follow the cross up the main aisle of the sanctuary and process to the Lilly Room for a liturgy of their own. The children return during the exchange of peace. Click here to learn more.

Godly Play Sunday School

10:15-11 a.m., classrooms are on the second floor of the Parish Ctr. bldg.

Godly Play is offered most Sundays for Pre-K to fifth grade students. The purpose of Godly Play is to engage the big questions of life and the mystery of God through story, wonder and play. Using Montessori pedagogy, Godly Play’s vision is to honor the inherent worth and dignity of every child while nurturing their unique spiritual journeys. It operates on the assumption that every child already has a deep, authentic relationship with God and the capacity to experience the mystery of God directly. (Godly Play Society).

Youth Group

10:15 a.m. - 12 p.m., Youth Lounge (first floor, Parish Ctr. bldg.)

Youth Group invites youth in grades 6-12 to be in community together. The mission of Youth Group is to cultivate a community that values, respects and loves each other just as they are and to provide a space where adolescents can laugh, play, learn and serve. Youth Group cooks hot breakfast food together and enjoys hanging out, relaxing and talking with each other. Click here to learn more.

ADULT FAITH FORUM

10:15-11 a.m., Lilly Room

There will be a brief time of Q & A after her presentation. Also, don't miss an opportunity to support the Pulsera Project through your purchase of handcrafted bracelets (pulseras) and purses (bolsitas) after the forum; the proceeds support artisans in Guatemala and Nicaragua, and provide additional resources for our Puentes Youth programming at St. Paul's.

HELP LEAD ST. PAUL’S INTO THE FUTURE

Vestry Applications & Nominations Open Tomorrow

Beginning tomorrow, November 9, parishioners can apply to serve on the St. Paul’s Vestry or nominate someone they believe would bring valuable gifts and perspectives to this important leadership role.

Whether you feel called to serve yourself or know someone who would be a great addition, we encourage you to take part in this process! Click below to learn more about Vestry service.

STREETS TO HOME INDY

Campaign Launch Sunday, November 15

On Sunday, November 15, St. Paul’s Faith in Action (FIA) ministry launches the next fundraising initiative for Streets to Home Indy, helping our neighbors experiencing homelessness find stable housing. On that day, we'll welcome Rabbi Dr. Aaron Spiegel, Executive Director/President of the Greater Indianapolis Multifaith Alliance (GIMA), as our guest preacher at the 9 and 11:15 a.m. services. Also on that day at 10:15 a.m., join us for an Adult Faith Forum with Chelsea Haring-Cozzi, CEO of the Coalition for Homelessness Intervention and Prevention (CHIP), to learn more about Streets to Home and its impact in our community. St. Paul’s FIA ministry is pledging $25,000 and inviting the congregation to match it with an additional $25,000. Last year, your generosity helped raise more than $50,000 and provide more than 18 move-in kits to Streets to Home! This year's giving window will be November 15–22 — we can help more neighbors find a place to call home. FIA committee members will be in Burrows Commons TODAY, sharing more information.
