With Bulletin For October 30 Service

October 29, 2022

Dear St. Paul’s Church Family,  

   It is joy for Olly & me to be back home here from vacation on our other island. We return refreshed from our many outdoor adventures and also relaxed from the intermittent lazy, rainy, foggy days. We are re-energized for these months ahead, already diving into the details of our various shared ministries, upcoming events, the approaching season of Advent, our Christmas Market, and all that follows culminating in Easter in April. Fasten your seat belt!

  I have been listening to Joe Hammer practice for tomorrow afternoon’s Spooky Pipe Organ Concert. Wow! Come on out if on island, invite friends and neighbors, or watch from a distance on Facebook or YouTube. Adults and children of all ages will thoroughly enjoy the selections Joe is presenting for this pre-Halloween community gathering. We continue to be so blessed by Joe’s creativity and talent. See you at church!

Love,

Max

Next Sunday is Pledge Sunday, November 6

As of this week, we have received 62 pledges totaling $168,000, about a third of our 2023 stewardship campaign goal of $525,000. This pledge amount is up 12% for this group of pledgers over 2022, which helps us cover inflation as well as sustain and grow our many programs and ministries. To those who have pledged, thank you for your continued generosity! We look forward to next Sunday, Nov. 6, Pledge Sunday, a day that, historically, we have received many pledges. If you have not pledged yet, you can do so then by dropping your pledge card in the collection plate; you can also mail it into or drop it off at the church office. You may also pledge online at our website with a secure payment by clicking here. Our campaign theme for 2023 is “Serving Each Other and Our Island Community, in the Lord’s Name.”

Thanks Be To God, From Whom All Blessings Flow!

Peter Barnes and Patsy Wright, Co-Chairs

Announcements

Offertory                        Sometimes A Light Surprises                            Choir

   Words: William Cowper (1731-1800); Music: Richard Shephard (1949-2021)

 

Sometimes a light surprises the Christian while he sings. It is the Lord who rises, with healing in his wings. When comforts are declining, he grants the soul again a season of clear shining, to cheer it after rain. W In holy contemplation we sweetly then pursue the theme of God's salvation, and find it ever new; set free from present sorrow, we cheerfully can say, let the unknown tomorrow bring with it what it may. W Yet God the same abiding his praise shall tune my voice, for while in him confiding, I cannot but rejoice. Who gives the lilies clothing, will clothe his people, too; and we shall want for nothing, our God will hear us through.

Doxology sung                                                                                     Old 100th

 

Praise God, from whom all blessings flow; praise him, all creatures here below; praise him above, ye heavenly host; praise

 Father, Son, and Holy Ghost.
