Guests WELCOME, We’re glad you’re here!
January 6, 2019 The Epiphany
Isaiah 42:1-9; Psalm 91:1-16 and Luke 3:15-22 (Matthew 2: 1-12 in Doar Hall) (Next Sunday) First Sunday of Epiphany— Revelation 1:9-20, Psalm 89: 1-18; Matthew 2:1-12
We want to encourage you to attend one of the final two opportunities to “Imagine” God’s future with St. Paul’s. Join our rector for a brief time of prayer and sharing after church on January 6th or the 20th. We plan to meet in the Atrium around 11:35 and will provide coffee and finger foods to munch on as we chat. Nursery will also be available. What might our church look like in 5, 7 or 10 years - if we are faithful to our God-shaped mission? We can only imagine! As St. Paul once commented, “No eye has seen, nor ear heard, nor the heart of man imagined, what God has prepared for those who love him.” - I Corinthians 2:9 If we are faithful in our task of discerning God’s future for us, the promise is crystal clear - exciting dreams and visions will come to us: “I will pour out my Spirit on all flesh; your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, your old men shall dream dreams, and your young men shall see visions.” Joel 2:28 The Lord commanded the prophet Habakkuk to climb up into a watchtower to pray and to wait on God’s vision and to record it: “Write the vision; make it plain on tablets, so he who runs may reads it.” Habakkuk 2:2 Now is the time to “imagine” God’s preferred future for our parish. Now is the time to “dream dreams” and “see visions,” and to write them plainly for all to see that we may “run” together toward God’s appointed plan. This process is only valuable when everyone gets involved. We need your input. Later in January, we will compile the data . This information will be used to help the vestry and leaders clearly see God’s future for our parish family. Please pray now and daily for this season of “Imagine.” Please make the time to be a part of this most important season in the life of our parish.

CHILDREN IN ATTENDANCE NAME NAME NAME
We hope to create an atmosphere in which everyone feels welcomed with open arms. All guests are invited to visit our Welcome Table after the service today to receive a gift and information about St. Paul’s. TO PARENTS OF YOUNG CHILDREN - Relax! God put the wiggles and sweet little noises in children; don’t feel like you have to suppress them in God’s house. Consider sitting toward the front where children can more easily engage. Quietly explain the parts of the service and actions of the priests, musicians, acolytes, and leaders. While in Children’s Church, your children learn: About bowing when the cross passes and why, as Anglicans, we do this; who the acolytes are; how the colors of the stoles match the liturgical calendar, prayers, etc. Now is a great time to show them what we are going over in Children’s Church. Sing the songs and pray. Children learn behavior by mimicking you. If you have to leave the worship with your child—please feel free to do so, but please do come back. NURSERY AND CHILDREN’S CHURCH Childcare is available for ages birth through 3 years of age. You will find a greeter there to assist you with check-in. We ask that you please check your child in at one of our check in kiosk located in Doar Hall and in the CY building. There you will receive a matching security tag that will need to be shown when you pick up your child.
CHANGES ONLY
ADDRESS
Children’s Church is provided for children ages 3-7. Please follow the check-in instructions above. The children will be dismissed for chapel during the 10:15 service. While there, your child will enjoy a time of chapel, bible lesson that follows the lectionary, learning our Anglican traditions, as well as, crafts and games.

WORSHIP AT ST. PAUL’S SUMMERVILLE While our worship is similar to that of Anglicans across the world and through the ages, we are also a warm and loving congregation. We enjoy ancient hymns, as well as, modern worship songs produced by popular Christian artists. Worship that is biblical and draws hearts to the praise, honor, and glory of our Lord is the goal at all our services. Our traditional worship with hymns is held in the historic Church Building. The contemporary worship, with a user-friendly screen and modern music, is in Doar Hall. We invite you to join us. All baptized Christians are welcome to join us for Holy Communion at the Lord’s table. Giving—Cash and checks may be placed in the offering plates. We have electronic kiosks in Doar Hall for debit and credit cards. St. Paul’s does not want anyone to incur debt in order to give to the Lord. We offer the kiosks as a convenience. Giving Envelopes—You may pick up a pack in the church office, in the back of Doar Hall, or the Church Building.
Please place completed form in the offering plate or take to our Welcome Table. Anonymous comments will be discarded.
