Dear Friends,
We have come a long way these last few months at St. Paul’s as we navigate these continuing challenging times of COVID-19. In my numerous conversations with parishioners, in person or by phone or email, there is a common desire to gather, to be together. While some are ready to do that in person, some are telling me they’re not quite ready yet. And I respect each and everyone’s discernment in this. So, this fall I am in awe, once again, of the creativity of staff and ministry leaders as programs move forward in ways that reach out to all parishioners wherever they are right now in their discernment.
