Sunday, October 16th at 4:00 PM

Join us for our first Choral Evensong of the season, focusing on Social Justice. The choir will present works by Gerre Hancock, John Ireland, and Sarah MacDonald. Scott G. Hayes, Director of Music at All Saints Episcopal Church, will serve as guest organist. A festive reception will be held following the service. Childcare is also provided. Evensong is part of the Daily Office, along with Morning Prayer. The Daily Office is derived from the regular services of monastic communities in the early Church. At the heart of these services was the recitation of the Psalter, the songbook of the Bible, and texts that Jesus himself knew and sang. All are welcome.

Join Chris Graham on October 15 as he walks with a group of St. Paul’s parishioners on the Slave Trail.  We will meet at 9:00 AM at St. Paul’s. Walk the trail together and then come back to the church for lunch and discussion. We should conclude our time together by 12:30 PM. RSVP Required.

The St. Paul’s community is celebrating St. Francis’ Feast Day with a creation care outdoor worship service that includes the Blessing of the Animals and Holy Eucharist followed by a parish potluck picnic at Bryan Park, Picnic Shelter #1.

St. Franci of Assisi, the patron saint of animals, the poor and the environment, expressed his devotion to God through his love for all of God’s creation, praising all creatures as sisters and brothers under God, the custom of offering blessings of animals around or on his Feast day.

Please bring your well-behaved pets, a lawn chair/blanket, and a dish to share for this specially designed, family-friendly service to worship God our Creator, give thanks and bless God’s creatures (especially those who are part of our families), and pray for healing and restoration of God’s good creation.

Registration is required. CLICK HERE to register.

15 months ago, StoryCorps selected Richmond as one of four anchor communities for its One Small Step initiative, an urgent national initiative to repair the fabric of our divided nation. One Small Step brings together pairs of strangers with divergent perspectives for conversations about their lives, in order to decrease feelings of contempt and help Americans see one another as human beings.

StoryCorps founder, Dave Isay, will join St. Paul’s on Thursday, June 16 at 6:30 p.m. to discuss the One Small Step initiative. Learn more about what One Small Step has achieved in Richmond, what they have planned for the future and how you can participate.

Dave Isay is the founder of StoryCorps and the recipient of numerous broadcasting honors, including six Peabody Awards and a MacArthur “Genius” Fellowship. He is the author/editor of five books that grew out of his public radio documentary work, including three New York Times bestsellers: Listening Is an Act of Love (2007), Mom: A Celebration of Mothers from StoryCorps, and All There Is: Love Stories from StoryCorps (2012); as well as Ties That Bind: Stories of Love and Gratitude From the First Ten Years of StoryCorps (2013) and Callings: The Purpose and Passion of Work (2016).
