Youth Sunday at St. Paul’s ❤️

Our youth! We are proud of them, and we are always — yes, always — inspired by them.

On Youth Sunday, our young people take over the entire service: Celebrant, Speaker, Lay Eucharistic Ministers, Acolytes, Readers, Announcements, Music and Ushers. They lead us in worship, and once again, they did an incredible job.

A special congratulations to Bryce, our Celebrant, and Kori, our Speaker, along with Blythe, Hank and Elyse, our Readers; Nate, Announcements; RJ, Elyse, Hank and Christian, Music; and all of our Ushers. St. Paul’s is so proud of you! ❤️

Kory gave us a beautiful lesson on faith and community, drawing from Romans and Matthew and sharing some of what she herself is learning:

On true community:

“True community is found in letting my guard down. Taking a deep breath and actually relying on the people who have carried me this far. And ultimately resting in God who has gotten me this far as well.”

On her own growth:

“I’m learning that faith doesn’t mean that I have to figure everything out by myself. And community doesn’t mean that I have to be the strong one. Faith is about trusting God even when it’s hard. And sometimes community looks like trusting the people God has placed around you.”

And then Kory left St. Paul’s with a charge:

“Think about the strongest person you know. Maybe it’s a family member, maybe it’s a friend, maybe it’s yourself. And ask them, ‘How can I show up for you today?’

And if someone asks you that question, don’t be afraid to answer honestly. Because community isn’t just about showing up for those around you, it’s about allowing others to show up for you too. And that is how we show the love of Christ to one another.”

Our youth led the service. And as always, they left us with something to carry into the week and for a lifetime.

Special thank you to our Parent Ministry. We are proud church Aunties and Uncles!

Sunday at St. Paul’s

Happy August birthday and anniversary blessings to all! 🎉 And of course, no anniversary/birthday blessing celebration is complete without Nate singing “and many more!” — always a St. Paul’s favorite.

One of the special things about St. Paul’s is that we’re family. Our Sunday pictures capture moments to enjoy and share, but they also help keep our church family connected. Parents, grandparents, and family look forward to seeing their loved ones, so sometimes pictures are taken especially for them.

And with that, our first picture… Hey, Grandma! 👋🏾

Perhaps especially fitting this Sunday were these words from Mother Pauline’s sermon, “Who Do They Say I Am?”

“I wonder if there comes a moment like that for every one of us, a moment when the faith our grandmother gave us, the faith the Church handed down to us, has to become our own.

Not because what they gave us was insufficient. But because eventually every disciple has to answer Jesus for themselves.”

Faith handed down. Faith made our own.

See you in church!

Sunday at St. Paul’s

Today, Mother Pauline’s sermon was on grace. the grace Joseph extended to the very brothers who threw him is a cistern and then sold him — Genesis 45:1–15

Grace makes room. Grace simply says, “There is room for you here.”

Mother Pauline asked, “If grace is asking something of us, where are we being invited to make room?”

“Maybe grace is asking us to make room for someone else’s humanity—to remember that a person is more than their worst mistake.

Maybe grace is asking us to make room for forgiveness. Not because there was an apology or because the relationship can or could go back to what it was, but because holding on to the hurt has taken up enough room.

Maybe grace is asking us to make room for healing—to finally loosen the grip on something we have carried for a long time.

Maybe grace is asking us to make room for new possibility. Sometimes we have a tendency to be so sure about how a story is going to end that we leave no room for God to come and surprise us.”

Grace made room for Joseph—for truth, for tears, for forgiveness. It made room for a future beyond the past.

Is hurt, disappointment, or fear occupying the room? Have we already sold ourselves on the outcome?”

Joseph’s story invites us to leave room.

Room for God’s grace.

God of reconciliation, you brought Joseph and his brothers together after years of hurt and separation. Bring healing to families, friendships, churches, and communities divided by conflict. Where wounds run deep, make room for truth, forgiveness, and the possibility of new beginnings.

Lord, in your mercy.
Amen.
