Although last Sunday’s Church on the Beach had to move indoors because of the rain, it was still a wonderful worship experience. Thank you to everyone who joined us in the Parish Hall! Mark your calendars for our next beach service on June 28th — we look forward to gathering by the water once again.

During June, our theme for the food pantry is picnic time. Please bring your donations of condiments to the back of the church or the stage. Relish, mustard, ketchup, mayonnaise, pickles, hot sauce, etc. Whatever your put on your table for a picnic. DOK will deliver your donations at the end of the month. Thank for for your generosity

May 24th marks our first Church on the Beach service of the season. It is also the beginning of Pentecost. We encourage you to wear red, as the color symbolizes the fire of the Holy Spirit, which descended upon the apostles on the day of Pentecost and marks the birth of the Church. The service will be held at 8:30 am at Ferry Park Beach in Rock Hall.

Please note in your calendar that on May 31st there will be one service at 9:30 am, followed by a Fifth Sunday brunch. Please bring a dish to share.

This Sunday at 3:00 pm, there is a Resonance Concert in the Parish Hall, featuring Manuel Barrueco, “the pre-eminent guitarist of our time.”

As the days grow warmer, Kent County begins to bloom—dogwoods, daffodils, and the first green leaves offering signs of new life and renewal. Spring is a wonderful time to explore our churchyard, including the Memorial Garden. Bring a friend! Introduce someone new to the beauty of St. Paul’s Parish!

Next Sunday, April 19th, the 8:00 service will be Morning Prayer led by the Daughters of the King, and at 10:30, Rev. Allen Spicer will be the celebrant.
