COFFEE HOUR MINISTRY HIGHLIGHTS

There is no coffee hour this week. We hope you have a safe and happy memorial weekend with family and friends.

RESILIENCE: THE BIOLOGY OF STRESS & THE SCIENCE OF HOPE:  Resilience is a powerful movie about the long-term effects of childhood trauma – as well as exciting approaches to preventing or modifying these effects.  All adults are invited to attend this showing of Resilience at 4:00 p.m. on Sunday, June 3rd.  Immediately after the movie, there will be a light dinner in the Parish Hall for those adults who have pre-registered.  (RSVP by May 30 at: http://bit.ly/2KPSmVp.  Also, see posts on the St. Paul’s website (www.stpaulscary.org) and in the flyer for the event.  If you are unable to RSVP online, you can call the church office at 919-467-1477.)  Please RSVP soon – space for the dinner and discussion is limited.  The movie, dinner, discussion, and childcare are all FREE.

MONTHLY DEVOTIONALS:  Welcoming in Christ is the discipleship-stewardship emphasis linking St. Paul’s 60th Anniversary and the Anniversary Capital Campaign.  To supplement this, each month a special devotional reflection will be offered.  The theme for May is “Music and the Arts as Expression of Faith.”  You can find these devotionals on our St. Paul’s website (www.stpaulscary.org).  If you’d like to share your thoughts on a theme, you may email them to reflections@stpaulscary.org.

SUMMER SCHEDULE BEGINS TODAY, SUNDAY, May 27:  Service times during the summer will be 7:30 a.m., 9:00 a.m., and 10:45 a.m.  Kids’ Club will open at 8:45 a.m. until 12:00 noon, except on Confirmation Sunday, June 17.  (See below.)
CONFIRMATION ON SUNDAY, JUNE 17.  Service times for the Bishop’s visit will revert to 7:30 a.m., 9:00 a.m., and 11:15 a.m.  The Rt. Rev. Anne Elliott Hodges-Copple, Bishop Suffragan of North Carolina, will join us on June 17 to confirm and receive new members. 

Ministry of Mothers Sharing (MOMS) is preparing two fall sessions:  one for “Baby Moms” (infants through 5th graders) and one for “TNT Moms” (teens and tweens).  The focus of MOMS is connection, support, and growth during the changes and challenges you will face on your motherhood journey.  The groups will meet one evening per week for seven weeks starting in September and ending in October.  See the website for more details as we get closer, and email Ann Lockhart at annlockhart1@gmail.com to get on the interested list or with any questions.  Attention MOMS Alumni: we will be calling on you for logistical support, so watch your email.  Thanks!
