With Information for September 11 and 12 Services

September 10, 2021
Dear St. Paul’s Church Family,
  The busy summer is behind us, the air is now fresh and crisp, and already the island is quieter. This is the time of year when we would normally be planning parish programs and events for these months ahead, but the persistence of this pandemic keeps us cautious. We will return to a fuller schedule as soon as we are able.
  One tradition to which we are blessedly returning is St. Paul’s Ships Inn Dinner. Parishioner Chef Mark Gottwald has graciously offered to host us on Thursday, October 7 at 6:30 pm. The cost is $100 per person with all proceeds going to fund St. Paul’s Church. Seating is strictly limited to 60 people, so please call or email the parish office promptly for a reservation. We do not yet know the evening’s menu.
  Please join us tomorrow morning at 8:45 for our 9/11 20th Anniversary Memorial Service either at church in person, on Facebook Live, or on Zoom using Sunday morning’s Zoom information. We will also continue our 8:00 o’clock outdoor Sunday Eucharist through September, along with the 9:30 service inside. See you at church!
Blessings,
Max

O sacred head, sore wounded, defiled and put to scorn; O kingly head surrounded with mocking crown of horn; what sorrow mars thy   grandeur? Can death thy bloom deflower? O countenance whose splendor the hosts of heav’n adore! ● What language shall I borrow to thank thee, dearest friend, for this thy dying sorrow, thy pity without end? Oh, make me thine forever! and should I fainting be, Lord, let me never, never, outlive my love for thee. ● My days are few, O fail not, with thine immortal power, to hold me that I quail not in death’s most fearful hour; that I may fight befriended, and see in my last strife to me thine arms extended upon the cross of life.
