Re-Opening Task Force Survey #2
As vaccination rates increase, the St. Paul’s Church re-opening task force is hard at work planning our reopening. Answering the short survey will give the team more information about the best way to do that. There are also a couple questions about the joys and sorrows you’ve experienced this year; this will help the worship committee plan services that honor all that we’ve been through as a community. You can find the link to the survey in the Friday online announcements. If you have trouble accessing the survey, contact the church office and we’ll mail you a paper copy.
Rev. Annie on Vacation April 25-30
For pastoral emergencies, please contact the Rev. Mary Goshert or Rev. Beth Gaines. For any other needs, contact the church office.

Two New Diocesan Sacred Ground Circles Forming
Beginning May 13, 2021
Thursdays, 1-3 pm or 7-8:30 pm
Sacred Ground is a 10-part discussion about race, grounded in faith. Participants are invited to view selected videos and read books and articles about Indigenous, Black, Latino, and Asian/Pacific American histories and how they intersect with European-American accounts. The materials also examine the church’s evolving teachings on race relations. The series is open to all, but it is especially designed to help White people talk about race with other White people.
Hosted by Bob Wohlsen, Social Justice Advocate, Santa Rosa, and Sharron Simpson, Spiritual Director and Educator, Santa Rosa, the circles will meet weekly via Zoom. See the Friday online announcements for details to contact the hosts.
