BIRTHDAYS & ANNIVERSARIES

HAPPY BIRTHDAY 

This Sunday is Pentecost and we'd like to remind everyone to wear red in honor of the occasion.

Add a spot of red flair with a tie or a bow... 

Or dress yourself fully with red head to toe!

St. Paul's invites and encourages everyone to get into the spirit of the Spirit!

Just a reminder for everyone, the church and administrative office is closed on Monday, May 28 in observance of Memorial Day.

Have a great weekend, everyone!

Sunday, May 27, will be the last session for Adult Bible Class before we break for summer. Please join us as we share the spiritual insights that we gained from our biblical studies from February to May. 

We will reflect again upon Your Scars Are Beautiful to God; Eva Bird used this book to lead our Lenten study. We looked at how God uses the pains and diaappointments in our lives to transform them into something beautiful and useful in God's kingdom.   

We will look again at Habakkuk to see what insights we learned about the problem of evil and how to deal with it today. Cheryl Maddox lead this discussion. Father Freeman lead the discussion last Sunday on the Ascension story in Luke 24: 40-54. We discussed this passage. 

Father Freeman also introduced to us a new way of reading for meaning in the Scriptures, and we all learned something valuable and new. Please join us this Sunday!    

The following individuals are the lay delegates from St. Paul's who will vote for the next Bishop of Atlanta on June 2, 2012.

• Carol Stone-Taylor (castpeach@bellsouth.net)

Daily Word

The Spring Ingathering of the UNITED THANK OFFERING will be lifted June 10 at both services.

Boxes are still available! Please pick one up at church or at the office if you haven't already.

For more information, please contact Ida Demons at (404) 696-2307.

The Toddler Room (ages 1-3) will be staffed with a paid sitter during both services through the end of June.

For the month of July and early August, the room will remain open for use, but without hired help. Parents wishing to make use of the Toddler Road during this time are welcome to do so but will need to coordinate their own coverage.

The Toddler Room will resume its paid babysitter coverage when Sunday School resumes in August.

 Email Azzari Jarrett for more information.

The Episcopal Churchmen is planning its annual trek to a baseball game (with tailgate party!) on Saturday, August 18. The game is @ 7:10 P.M. against the Los Angeles Dodgers, and that game is also a part of the Delta Civil Rights Weekend. 

The ticket price is $35, which includes the tailgate party (hot dogs, hamburgers, and the works), in Bowden Hall beginning at 3:30 P.M.  You are responsible for your own transportation to Turner Field (some of us will ride MARTA). 

To get the group sales price, we must purchase at least 30 tickets. 

Tickets for this game are expected to sell quickly, and the Churchmen will purchase its tickets during the first week of July.  We will begin collecting for tickets this weekend. 

THE DEADLINE TO PURCHASE TICKETS FOR THIS GAME IS SUNDAY, JULY 1, 2012.

For more information, contact Bob Martin at  robertemartin@bellsouth.net or call 404.695.0140.

St. Paul's is getting new email addresses!

During the month of May, St. Paul's is rolling out new email addresses that match our Internet domain address. Soon, all  email address will be First initial, Last Name like so: 

CFischer@StPaulsATL.org  (OK to use NOW!)

KKing@StPaulsATL.org (OK to use NOW!)

(The addresses aren't case-sensitive... they just "read" easier that way!)  

We ask that everyone to begin using the new email for Father Fischer and Kelly King and stay tuned for notification that Father Wright and Trey Clegg have been "integrated" as well. By May 31, everyone will be transitioned and the AOL accounts will be closed forever.

In the meantime, as everyone gets their new addresses set up, you will begin getting return messages from their old addresses reminding you that the old address is being discontinued. We'll keep reminding you here as well.

On June 1, it's finished. No do-overs, no take-backs, no nothing. 

Please do your part to keep us in touch!!
