Welcome TO OUR WARM & LOVING cOMMUNITY  

 

St. Paul's Episcopal Church is a warm and loving community of approximately 800 baptized members. Located on the Eastern Shore of Mobile Bay, it is situated in one of the most scenic and fastest growing counties in Alabama. In this place we try to follow the teachings and examples of Jesus Christ, not so much by speculating "What would Jesus do?," but rather attempting to emulate what Jesus did do. This theology for ministry is captured in our Mission Statement: "We worship together as we seek God, serve God, and share God with love and acceptance for all." You are cordially invited to join us in worship. It is my prayer that you will find your time with us a blessing. 

God bless you, 

Thack Dyson, Rector

Hello, everyone. As August draws to a close and the calendar hints of fall, it is time to begin our African Bible study series. Let's start on Tuesday, Sept. 9, at 6 p.m. in Conference Room B in the Howard Wilson Center. The series will conclude at the end of November (Tuesday, Nov. 25). Sessions should last about an hour. I'm so excited to lead and participate in this series! 
If you know of any other women who you think would be interested in joining us, please have them contact Terri McMillan.
Looking forward to seeing everyone there.

The Parables of Jesus


I will offer an eight week Adult Sunday school teaching series on the Parables of Jesus beginning September 14 at 9:15 a.m. in Conference Room A in the Howard Wilson Center. There are seven genres of the parables of Jesus: parables of the kingdom; parables of grace; parables of judgment; parables of reversal; parables of everyday wisdom; parables of vigilance; and short parabolic sayings (similitudes). Together, they invite us not only to understand ideas but to experience a transformation of vision so that we see the world as God sees it.


Each session will begin with prayer, a reading of the parables followed by a short exegesis of the parables, and then group discussion. Participants will know in advance of each session the parables to be discussed. Please call Terri in the parish office at (251) 626-2421, and let her know if you wish to attend. I look forward to our conversations.


Peace,

Thack


New Great Wednesday @ 6:00 Offering



I will offer a new teaching series for our Great Wednesday @ 6:00 program beginning September 10. We will do a book study with discussion and reflection of Barbara Brown-Taylor’s book, An Altar in the World: A Geography of Faith.


Taylor’s book is a spiritual memoir and guidebook that helps readers recognize that the sacred is not confined to church walls but is woven into the fabric of daily life. Taylor, an Episcopal priest and gifted storyteller, teaches that one can encounter God in ordinary practices and experiences — walking, paying attention, being still, engaging with others, working, resting, and even making mistakes.


The book is structured around twelve “practices” — ordinary human actions that, when done with intention, open us to God’s presence:


1.The Practice of Waking Up to God (Vision) – Seeing the divine in the world around us.


2.The Practice of Paying Attention (Reverence) – Cultivating reverence for life by noticing the small and ordinary.


3.The Practice of Wearing Skin (Incarnation) – Embracing embodiment as a means of experiencing God.


4.The Practice of Walking on the Earth (Groundedness) – Connecting spiritually through walking and being present in creation.


5.The Practice of Getting Lost (Wilderness) – Allowing disorientation and uncertainty to lead us deeper into trust and discovery.


6.The Practice of Encountering Others (Community) – Meeting God in strangers and relationships.


7.The Practice of Living with Purpose (Vocation) – Finding meaning in ordinary work.


8.The Practice of Saying “No” (Sabbath) – Observing rest and limits.


9.The Practice of Carrying Water (Physical Labor) – Experiencing the holiness of manual work.


10.The Practice of Feeling Pain (Breakthrough) – Letting suffering be a teacher.


11.The Practice of Being Present to God (Prayer) – Broadening prayer beyond words to presence.


12.The Practice of Pronouncing Blessing (Benediction) – Speaking blessing into everyday moments.


Her central conviction is that the whole world is God’s altar, and life itself — with its ordinary, messy, and painful realities — can be sacramental when approached with awareness and openness.



If you would like to be a part of this GW@6 offering, please contact Terri in the church office at (251) 626-2421. The book costs $10.00 and we will order them before the first class based on the number of people who have signed up for the class. As always, we will gather on Wednesday evenings in Malone Hall at 6:00 for a meal and begin our class promptly at 6:30. Thack
