O God, the King of glory, you have exalted your only Son Jesus Christ with great triumph to your kingdom in heaven: Do not leave us comfortless, but send us your Holy Spirit to strengthen us, and exalt us to that place where our Savior Christ has gone before; who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, in glory everlasting. Amen.

This event is always one of the highlights of St. Paul's year. It will be our new Rector Scott's first time with us and I'm sure he will be amazed. Thanks so much for all your help!

It's time to update the ST. PAUL's DIRECTORY!
There will be a paper copy of the current directory on the Greeters Table during Sundays in May – please look over your current listing, change as needed, and put a check beside your name once you’ve completed your update. We will follow-up with anyone we miss through this process.
Your information will be used in two ways.
- The Church Directory allows us to connect with each other, as needed, via phone, e-mail or snail mail. It is not posted on the church website but is sent electronically to anyone in the Directory when updated. The new Directory is projected for completion in late June.
- There is also a separate e-mail list that goes to a broader audience, used primarily for announcements such as the weekly e-news. Everyone who is in the directory is on the email list, but not everyone on the email list (such as former parishioners who have moved away but want to continue to get news) is in the directory.
