This Circle will be co-facilitated by the Rev. Katherine Frederick, curate at Grace Church, and Karen Nolan from Epiphany; questions may be directed to them at kcruthirds@gmail.com or karen.s.nolan@gmail.com.

There are many ways to participate in a church community. But which one is right for you? Join us for a lively discussion on the meaning of membership in the Episcopal Church and here at St. Paul’s. Guided by the Rector and a panel of old-timers, we’ll cover everything from sacramental rites (baptism, confirmation, reception) to nametags. Children are welcome to attend, and childcare is available too. Bring a snack that reminds you of a good story (storebought or homemade).
Please RSVP to help us prepare materials using the cards in the pews or online.
